China News Service, Qingdao, September 20 (Reporter Hu Yaojie) Qingdao Port of Shandong Port announced on the 20th that the automated bridge crane "one-to-many" monitoring system independently developed by the model "Liangang Innovation Team" of the times has successfully completed the online test. It marks a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of remote monitoring of automated terminals and a solid step on the road of transformation and upgrading from fully automated terminals to fully intelligent terminals.
It is reported that the completion of the online test of the monitoring system is another landing result of Shandong Port Qingdao Port speeding up the construction of an internationally leading smart green port following the completion of the container intelligent air-rail collection and distribution system, which will further improve the overall operating efficiency of the automated terminal and save labor costs. .
At present, in the global automated container terminal, the remote monitoring operations of automated bridge cranes all adopt the one-to-one connection mode between the remote monitoring station and the on-site quay crane. A remote monitor can only monitor one crane at the same time, but in the automatic operation mode , Most of the operation links are highly safe and standardized. In principle, manual continuous monitoring is not required. Only part of the links that need to be focused on need to be watched manually. The "one-to-one" connection method will cause waste of human resources, and personnel allocation There is room for further optimization and improvement in the operating mode.

In order to further break through the bottleneck of traditional automated terminal loading and unloading operations, to achieve both efficiency and benefit improvement.
Since the beginning of this year, the "Liangang Innovation Team" has strengthened its research. After 6 months of overcoming difficulties, it has independently designed and completed an automated bridge crane "one-to-many" monitoring system.
According to reports, the system subverts the traditional "one-to-one" mode of remote monitoring of bridge cranes in the global automated terminal, enabling remote monitors to monitor any quay crane in the field through one monitoring station according to established conditions, and the system is equipped with an intelligent command queuing mechanism , The priority can be set according to logical conditions such as the importance of the instruction and the safety of the operation status, so as to achieve the simultaneous improvement of on-site operation efficiency and personnel utilization.
After testing, the system can effectively save more than 70% of the manpower configuration of remote monitors, and achieve both efficiency and benefit improvement.
It is reported that Shandong Port Qingdao Port fully automated container terminal is currently the world's most advanced technology, the highest degree of automation, the fastest loading and unloading efficiency of the automated terminal, is also the first fully automated container terminal in Asia, the degree of automation exceeds that of world-class ports such as Rotterdam Port. The terminal is planned to build 6 berths with a coastline of 2088 meters and a water depth of 20 meters at the front of the terminal. It can berth 24,000 TEU container ships and has a designed annual handling capacity of 5.2 million TEUs. It is currently one of the largest automated terminals in the world. (over)
