Located at the western end of Bohai Bay, Tianjin Port is the maritime gateway of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the "Three North" areas, the main seaport of xiong'an new area, the land-sea intersection of the Belt and Road Initiative, an important node of the New Eurasian Continental Bridge Economic Corridor and an international hub port that is fully open to the outside world. It has maintained trade with more than 800 ports in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, ranking among the top ten ports in the world for many years.
The intelligent container terminal in Area C of Beijiang Port Area of Tianjin Port is an important landmark project for Tianjin Port to build a "world-class port". The wharf includes three berths of 200,000-ton class, with a coastline of 1 100 meters, and can dock two container ships of 200,000-ton class at the same time or design containers of two container ships of170,000-ton class at the same time. Committed to building a container terminal with the highest degree of intelligence, the lowest construction cost and the best operation efficiency in China.
The traditional automatic wharf is magnetic nail type perpendicular to the coastline, which needs to transform the existing wharf layout and changes greatly, so the technical route of magnetic nail type is suitable for new wharf, but not for traditional existing wharf. The proportion of traditional docks in the world is over 98%, so the full automation transformation of traditional docks is a worldwide problem and the most important field of full automation of docks. For this reason, at the beginning of the design of the intelligent container terminal in Area C, a brand-new automatic container terminal process scheme of "single trolley automatic terminal+unmanned electric truck+double cantilever automatic track crane" was adopted. Compared with the mature magnetic nail unmanned driving and bicycle unmanned driving with some innovative ports in the industry, the existing terminal layout is slightly modified, which can completely copy the traditional terminal and has low construction cost. It puts forward higher requirements for new technologies and new ideas to realize digital transformation.
In the process of construction, we mainly face the following challenges:
Terminal information infrastructure needs to be upgraded urgently.
The traditional terminal information architecture is difficult to support the high reliability, high performance and high scalability of the whole system. There is an urgent need to transform into a cloud architecture, and further upgrade the infrastructure such as terminal front-end perception, network transmission, computing and storage, and security management through technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence.
The new automatic terminal technology challenges the intelligence of horizontal transportation.
As one of the core production systems of automatic terminal production system, horizontal transportation system needs to run through the whole process of port workflow, break through breakpoints and achieve the best efficiency; Seamless docking and cooperation with innovative driverless cars to ensure driverless safety; As the core production system, the reliability, stability and repeatability of the system are very important.
Port operation needs intelligent management means.
Terminal C basically realized video coverage without dead ends, and the traditional terminal mainly relied on security personnel to conduct manual inspections inside the port area. It is urgent for the port to improve the inspection efficiency through active security measures, so as to find all kinds of illegal acts in the port area in time (such as illegal parking of trucks, speeding, people entering illegal areas, etc.). ). At the same time, it is necessary to realize the multi-scene linkage management of visitors, monitoring, equipment and energy through the Internet of Everything.
Today, the terminal is officially put into operation. The port agency solution provided by Huawei has made breakthroughs in a number of key technologies, helping Tianjin Port to take a benchmark step on the road of intelligent upgrading and digital transformation.
Huawei port agent includes four parts: intelligent application, intelligent hub, intelligent connection and intelligent interaction:
Intelligent application: the core production system of the port, including horizontal transportation system and production auxiliary system, can solve the intelligentization of the port business system through intelligent application;
Smart hub: the core part of smart port, including artificial intelligence, data analysis, intelligent video, driverless and other modules, as the operation and decision-making center of the whole port, can provide decision support for the operation of smart applications;
Intelligent connection: As the nerve of a smart port, it can connect people, cars, boats, goods and goods in the smart port with the virtual world, and realize the full connection of the port through communication technologies such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and microwave;
Intelligent interaction: including port video, sensors, GPS, radar and other sensing and interaction equipment, which can collect data information throughout the country in real time and carry out data interaction.
Focusing on the most urgent business pain points in the process of smart port construction, the two parties have realized the following intelligent scenarios in the intelligent terminal in Area C:
1, horizontal transportation system
It has built a leading cloud platform, data platform, 5G network and horizontal transportation system. In the intelligent container terminal in Area C, the joint debugging test of unmanned vehicles was successfully completed, and the breakpoints of the docking process of one-to-many single car shoreline and unmanned art, centralized unlocking of the island on the ground, and precise alignment of automatic track crane were opened, thus realizing the cooperative operation and efficient operation of TOS operation plan and vertical and horizontal transportation. Aiming at the pain points of single-vehicle autonomous driving in complex port environment, cloud scheduling optimization and multi-vehicle collaborative planning algorithm can effectively reduce the occurrence of multi-vehicle deadlocks and conflicts, and improve the safety and efficiency of 76 Art.
2. Intelligent security in the port area
Give the port more intelligent management through smart port area and smart building scheme, and improve the efficiency of identifying security incidents through active security; Through intelligent video panoramic stitching, actively check the security items at the port to reduce the frequency of passive inspection by personnel; Through energy consumption management, we can accurately grasp the energy consumption of the port, and further reduce the energy consumption of the port area through the data analysis model to realize scientific energy management and control.
3. Intelligent photovoltaic in port area
Through Huawei's smart photovoltaic, intelligent buildings and colorful corridors all use photovoltaic power generation, and the level of port resource conservation and recycling has been significantly improved. Compared with the traditional operation mode, under the same operation efficiency, the construction investment is reduced by more than 30%, the energy consumption is reduced by more than 20% and the operation cost is reduced by 25%. Through the production of clean energy such as photovoltaic power generation, Terminal C not only realizes shore-based power supply, so that docked ships have zero emissions, but also supplies power to surrounding areas, and truly becomes the first zero-carbon green port in the world to realize artificial intelligence.
Yang Jiemin, vice president of Tianjin Port Group, said that the port is the oldest industry. As the engine of the latest generation of scientific and technological progress, the collision between the oldest and the youngest will surely bring new vitality. Tianjin Port and Huawei have carried out all-round in-depth cooperation and achieved very good results. With the joint efforts of the innovative consortium represented by Huawei, the intelligent container terminal in Area C of Beijiang Port Area has successfully built a model project of a new generation of automated terminals, which has made great contributions to the port industry.
In the future, the two sides will continue to fully cooperate in the field of port automation and intelligence, accelerate the overall improvement of the port industry in the fields of safety, efficiency and experience based on port agency, and build a world-class green and smart hub port.
