China Daily, October 27 (Reporter Xu Pan) By Bohai Bay, Tianjin Port container terminal, through unmanned automated operations, containers one by one constantly landed on the cruise ship. The Port of Tianjin has taken a solid step forward in the practical application of a new generation of automated unmanned container terminals, providing a “Tianjin model” for building the world’s smart ports.

Wisdom enables full process unmanned automation operations
The automated yard bridge lifts the container and places it on the unmanned truck. The unmanned truck loads the container at the automatic unlocking station. After the robot automatically completes the container unlocking procedure, the unmanned truck transports the container to the side of the ship and the dock crane is automated The hoisted container is precisely positioned on the ship … This is the scene of the unmanned automated operation that the journalist saw at the Tianjin port terminal.

The unmanned automated terminal is an important symbol of today’s global smart port construction. In recent years, in order to overcome the global port problem of unmanned automated transformation of traditional container terminals, Tianjin Port Group has the courage to innovate and test new ones. In May 2019, it successfully completed the world’s first traditional manual container terminal yard automation transformation and upgrade, January 2020 On the 17th, the world’s first real ship operation of 25 non-electric trucks was successfully completed. manned.
According to Liu Jieqiang, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Tianjin Port Container Company, “Tianjin Port is accelerating the construction of a number of key projects, such as the smart container terminal project in section C of the port area of Beijiang from Tianjin port, while speeding up the whole process of traditional container terminals. The transformation of human automation will promote the construction of world-class smart and green hub ports. “
Many technologies are the first in the world
“In the past, the container was unlocked manually, but now everything is done by robots, conducting fully unmanned operations and improving efficiency,” Liu Jieqiang said. “The innovative application of the laser scanning system and the six-axis automatic robot that we now see in the smart unlock station can meet the needs of more than 20 conventional locks. With the use of 3D visual recognition and positioning devices, the speed recognition rate is reduced from 6s to 3s, and the recognition rate is 95% or more, improving efficiency by more than 10%. “
In order to connect independent operation control units such as unmanned trucks, automatic unlocking stations and remote control dock cranes in series to achieve centralized control, Tianjin Port Group and Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Group have jointly developed the first system Integrated Management System for Container Operation Tasks (ETMS). This system is the first to realize the control and management of the entire unmanned automatic operation system by one system, build a stable and efficient unmanned automatic control system, and provide a new solution for container handling process transformation. of the world.
At the same time, the Tianjin port independently developed key technologies such as anti-roll, anti-twist, truck guidance, and took the lead in the global application of a new generation of point map ship scanning system. High precision clouds, real-time interaction of ship, cargo and vehicle position information, creating a container dock crane. A new model of unmanned automation. The application of a variety of cutting-edge technologies has produced a “symphony” of a smart port.
Eco-friendly and efficient enters a new high-quality development journey
Since the beginning of this year, Tianjin Port Group has actively responded to the impact of the epidemic, focusing on the prevention and control of the epidemic, on the one hand, and port production, on the other. In the first three quarters, Tianjin Port Group has completed a total container throughput of 13,765 million TEU, an increase of 5.2% year-on-year; full load cumulative throughput was 3.36 Billion tons, an increase of 4.3% YoY,
“The transformation from traditional terminal automation has transformed the relatively backward production capacity into a stronger one, while at the same time providing greater scope for improvement in operational efficiency.” Liu Jieqiang said: “Compared with the new automated container terminal, the transformation can save 70% of the cost. The total energy consumption of a single container is reduced by more than 20%, and the comprehensive operating cost of the terminal it is reduced by more than 10%. It is not only smarter, more efficient, but also more environmentally friendly and economical. “
Liu Jieqiang said that “creating a world-class smart port and green port” is the state’s ardent charge to Tianjin port. Tianjin Port has always adhered to quality first, efficiency first and innovation leadership, and has successively overcome a number of global smart port construction problems. It has made the historic leap from the traditional manual container terminal to the unmanned automated container terminal. “
In the future, Tianjin port will further utilize its integrated innovation advantages, stimulate the vitality of innovation, enhance port production intelligence, automation of equipment operation, further enhance the two-way logistics network and land and will strive to create a “Chinese model” of high-quality development and better promote regional economic growth Quality development.
