a few days ago, the first episode of cctv video's "new china wisdom - talking about wisdom for a while" staged a "fairy tale of the pier".
during the program, cctv's famous host lu jian visited tianjin port and, together with yang jiemin, vice president of tianjin port (group) co., ltd., and guo zhenxing, vice president of huawei's china government business, personally experienced the comprehensive innovation that digitalization has brought to this century-old port.
today, tianjin port hasjoint innovation with huawei stimulates new quality productivity, thus bringing new vitality and vigor, and contributing a new generation to the worldthe “tianjin plan” for green and smart port construction。
changing the traditional way of carrying things on the back
tianjin port was opened to foreign trade in 1860. after more than a hundred years of construction and development, tianjin port has become the largest artificial deep-water port in my country and the highest level in the world.
in the first half of this year, tianjin port completed a cargo throughput of 248 million tons and a container throughput of 11.88 million teus. such a huge amount of cargo throughput requires a high level of operational processing capabilities for container loading, unloading and transportation.
traditional port operations are typical labor-intensive, energy-intensive, and high-risk industries., requiring a large amount of manpower for open-air operations, such as operating quay cranes and yard cranes to lift containers, driving freight trucks to transport containers, and other work scenes need to be completed manually on-site.
under this traditional working method, not only do the workers have to work under high intensity and face safety risks, but this working model is also difficult to adapt to the needs of social and economic development. enterprises even face the dilemma of difficulty in recruiting employees.the transformation to automation and intelligence is imminent.
before cooperating with huawei, tianjin port also examined the then leading international solutions.
the world's first automated container terminal was put into operation in the port of rotterdam, the netherlands in 1993. it uses the agv + magnetic nail navigation solution, that is, laying magnetic nails on the ground for navigation, using agv to run along a fixed circular route, thereby completing the horizontal transportation of containers from shore to the yard.
this solution has been imitated by many people in the past 20 years, but its vehicles can only travel along fixed routes, which has the disadvantages of long routes, inflexibility, and large area occupied by the front of the yard. in addition, due to the use of non-universal technology,the initial construction cost is high, the later operation and maintenance cost is high, and upgrading and transformation are difficultand other issues.
explore a new path for intelligent port construction
with the advancement of science and technology, emerging technologies such as ai, 5g, f5g, and big models have gradually developed and matured, bringing new path choices to the digital transformation of the century-old port.
according to guo zhenxing, tianjin port began to cooperate with huawei in 2019, based on its own digital technology and transformation experience, as well as tianjin port’s process technology and scenario-based needs.explore a path of digital transformation and upgrading that no one has ever taken before, helping tianjin port to move beyond automation and reach a new world of intelligence.
horizontal transport scenario in containershuawei has teamed up with tianjin port to create the art unmanned transport vehicle solution to form an intelligent horizontal transportation system.
this solution is based on a smart driving system that combines vehicle-road-cloud-network collaboration, and integrates 5g, beidou, high-precision maps and other technologies to achieve l4 autonomous driving. nearly 100 container transport trucks can accurately perceive the port environment, intelligently avoid obstacles, and operate 24 hours a day in a fully automated and efficient manner without any driver.
container loading and unloading scene on the quay cranehuawei has created the f5g all-optical industrial network remote control solution based on f5g technology.
this solution uses the low latency and large bandwidth of f5g to meet the needs of equipment automation control instructions and monitoring video feedback, and realize remote control of container lifting. in this way, the tower crane driver does not have to perform high-altitude operations above the quay crane, but can operate in a comfortable central control room, which reduces labor intensity while improving safety and operating efficiency.
through such upgrades and renovations, there are no longer any on-site staff at the tianjin port container terminal, and the only personnel who have entered the intelligent control center.
the intelligent control center is the central brain of tianjin port.here, the application of huawei cloud digital twin technology has achieved comprehensive digitalization of major objects including quay cranes, container trucks, crane driver grabbing processes, and port dispatching processes and rules.
at the same time, traditional port scheduling methods have problems such as massive and complex parameters, difficulty in obtaining the optimal solution manually, and long preparation time for manual planning. huawei cloud tianchou ai solver deeply integrates solver technology, ai technology, and operations research technology to createintelligent planning and scheduling systemit can complete the calculation of tens of millions of variables and constraints, realize minute-level algorithm planning, and dynamically optimize the ship berth plan, quay crane operation plan, container loading plan and yard plan.
industry intelligent body architecture accelerates the digitalization of the industry
after such intelligent transformation, tianjin port has achieved optimization and improvement of production efficiency.it has benefited our economic development and living convenience.
in cooperation with relevant departments, tianjin port has opened a "fruit express line". fresh fruits such as cherries are shipped directly to tianjin port after being loaded in south america. through the efficient operation of the container terminal, they can reach supermarkets and shopping malls in north china within 5 hours and be delivered to people's tables.
at the same time, the construction of smart ports is also helping chinese smart products go overseas. at present, my country has become the world's largest exporter of electric vehicles, and tianjin port plays an important role in this.
as the industry's digital transformation enters a new stage, huawei has also adjusted its organizational structure.we have established multiple industry teams to achieve short-chain operation and work with customers and partners to innovate and incubate scenario-based solutions.build a beacon for the industry's digital transformation. the construction of tianjin port's smart port is a benchmark case jointly created by huawei's transportation intelligence team and tianjin port.
to this end, huawei has summarized a set of practical methods for digital transformation:architecture first, platform first, scenario innovation, iterative progress, to assist the digital transformation of various industries and realize “the digital world is within reach”.
in,industry agent reference architectureplayed a vital role, this architecture is divided intointelligent perception, intelligent connection, intelligent base, intelligent platform and ai big modelfive floors.
the digital transformation of tianjin port is based on this industry intelligent reference architecture. first, use cameras and sensors to achieve intelligent perception, and use 5g, f5g and other technologies to achieve intelligent connection; then, build an intelligent base based on huawei cloud and storage to provide general computing, ai computing, data entry and other capabilities; then use various intelligent tools provided by the intelligent platform to model the data; finally, realize autonomous operation and intelligent control of equipment through ai big models.
leading the digitalization of the entire port industry
after initial phased results were achieved, tianjin port worked with huawei to develop plans for future development directions.
"integration of port, industry and city" will be the long-term goal of tianjin port's digital transformationthe two sides will continue to strengthen intelligent production and digital operation to further upgrade the port operation efficiency. at the same time, it is necessary to open up the application of various routes such as roads, railways and aviation to achieve logistics coordination, and formulate personalized services to enhance customer experience and port efficiency. on this basis, through the improvement of logistics efficiency, the development of regional industries and cities will be driven simultaneously, thereby generating positive feedback of increased demand for cargo transportation.
recently, the two sides havejointly released the portgpt port model, deeply integrate huawei pangu's big model with port business scenarios and industry samples to form a million-level port professional sample library, and realize the application of big models in the field of port production.
obviously, through joint innovation with huawei, tianjin port has explored a new path for digital transformation.it has set a new benchmark for the construction of world-class smart portsin the future, tianjin port's successful experience and solutions will be promoted to the entire port industry, especially artificial ports, so that more ports can accelerate the realization of digitalization.
this is also huawei's mission towards the digital world. as guo zhenxing said:
"huawei insists on using digital transformation as the rudder, new technologies as the sail, and scenario-based solution innovation as the oar to help thousands of industries sail towards a beautiful digital future."
