Smart port development trends
AI empowers port management
As a a leading global manufacturing country, total import and export volume of China keeps ranking first in the world. Among land, sea and air transport, ocean transport is recognized as one of the most cost-effective transport means in the foreign trade industry. Terminal port, as a facility connecting ocean and land, is undoubtedly important in its capacity. In recent years, it has become an important subject that AI tehchnology should be applied for improving port operation efficiency.
AI facilitates ports to become more intelligent
AI vision technology enables an integrated system for the port operation. The system is composed of perception, analysis, service, control and supervision functionalities, making the port operation more smooth, efficient and intelligent.
AI Smart Regulation System Assists in Efficiency Improvement and Cost Reduction
The management of smart includes risk management, efficiency improvement and cost reduction. Especially, the realtime port operation management and visual vision inspection management should be realized by AI technology.
Challenges facing the port industry
- Busy and labor-intensive
- Most of the traditional loading and unloading operations is managed manually with intercom as auxiliary tool. One loading and unloading operation needed a considerable number of on-duty personnel to ensure safety
- Illegal operations are monitored by regular patrols
- With lifting equipment having a large tonnage, there are many blind spots causing safety hazards
- The operation environment of ports that involves salt spray corrosion, vibration shake, poses lots of chanllenges upon vision inspection system used on port machinery
- Crane driver usually keeps the position of bowing or raising his head for a long time, resulting in cervical and lumbar vertebrae and other occupational diseases.
