SIPG’s “intelligent brain” helps make ports smart

In 2023, the cargo throughput of Luojing Terminal will exceed 18 million tons. With the help of the BTOPS3.0 system, the efficiency of the terminal in terms of ship turnover and warehouse management has been significantly improved, and the operation volume of large ships has increased year-on-year. 20.27%, the average ship arrival accuracy rate reaches more than 99%, and the efficiency of cargo pickup at the yard has increased by more than 20%.

Customized Chinese solutions for smart ports

Independently developed fully automated container terminal intelligenceOperating System< /a>ITOS is applied to Yangshan Phase IV, which is the world's largest single unit and has the highest degree of comprehensive automation. It has become my country's first "Chinese core" in the field of automated terminals, breaking the bottleneck of core technology being monopolized by foreign countries; ITOS The products have been successfully exported to the sea, serving the countries building the “One Belt, One Road”... These smart terminal technology applications all come from the R&D center of Nezha Technology. This company, established just over 3 years ago, is committed to the overall digital transformation of smart ports, smart shipping, smart supply chain and other fields, and has come up with a series of well-known Chinese solutions in the field of smart port construction.

Compared with container terminals, it is more difficult to automate and intelligentize breakbulk cargo terminals. BTOPS3.0 is based on the domestic operating system and uses domestic chips and domestic or open source databases. It is a purely domestic software that truly connects the bottom layer, database, and application links. It is based on the entire production operation system and uses big data. Connecting people, machines, cargo, ships, ports and various services makes production scheduling more accurate and terminal utilization more efficient.

Leveraging the value of data, AI helps port intelligence

At present, every shipment of goods entering and exiting Luojing Terminal is Have your own "electronic visa", from the entry of goods to the port, storage in the warehouse, operation status, loading and unloadingThe entire process, including shipment progress, can form a digital track, which is as intuitively visible as an online shopping flow record. With the blessing of BTOPS3.0, data in each link is smoothly exchanged, and on-site response is rapid and accurate, effectively improving customer satisfaction. BTOPS3.0 connects all aspects of the terminal, collects and processes production data in real time, and then implements intelligent scheduling through a fusion algorithm platform to assist on-site decision-making. The BTOPS3.0 system forms a data chain for each operation, associates all personnel and operation processes, and automatically generates piece-rate wage data. During the system launch phase, the team arranged personnel to station at important nodes such as crossings and warehouses. In order to cope with the pace of wharf shift operations, the R&D team also changed to day and night shifts to ensure that on-site data can be "directly transferred to the R&D center with one click."

As a large ecosystem, the terminal generates a large amount of data every moment. The key to port intelligence lies in the combination of data and AI technology to form a large "process engine" model based on massive scheduling The data continuously optimizes the algorithm to realize intelligent scheduling and decision-making for each link and equipment of the terminal. In order to further leverage the value of data, Nezha Technology has set up a data team to strengthen the application of technologies such as the Internet of Things and AI perception.

The "Smart Brain" is iteratively upgraded and exported overseas

Like the ITOS of Yangshan Phase IV, the BTOPS system It is also constantly upgraded in actual combat. For example, in view of the large amount of pulp business carried by Luojing Terminal, Nezha Technology customized an online acceptance platform for it. The pulp supply is "door-to-door" one-stop. Customers declare remotely. After the imported pulp arrives at the port, it then uses golden waterways and railways. The network radiates throughout the country and even Southeast Asia, effectively reducing intermediate links and reducing logistics costs for pulp suppliers and paper companies.

This year, Luojing Terminal will also launch a comprehensive customer business inquiry platform to open real-time logistics records such as cargo location, loading and unloading progress to customers. The BTOPS 3.0 system will also be launched at Zhanghuabang Terminal and Longwu Terminal, the other two major bulk cargo hubs in Shanghai Port. Recently, Nezha Technology won the bid for the port information project of Chancay Port in Peru, and the ITOS and BTOPS systems will be implemented in South America.

Reshaping the new digital world for traditional terminals. In addition to ITOS and BTOPS, Nezha Technology has also independently developed container terminal production and operation CTOS, ro-ro terminal production and operation RTOS, and comprehensive terminal production. Operates multiple "smart brains" such as MTOS. Its domestic business gradually extends from Shanghai Port to the basins along the Yangtze River, the Bohai Rim region and the Beibu Gulf region. Its products cover more than 60 domestic cities, and its overseas business radiatesTo ports in Brunei and other countries.
