The world's first remotely controlled electric stacker crane has recently landed at the Haitian Port in Xiamen, Fujian. This not only enriches the full scenario chain of container loading and unloading operations, fills the industry gap, but also helps to achieve intelligent full scenario coverage of ports.
Accelerate the construction of smart ports in Fujian
"This remote control stacker crane is domestically manufactured with independent intellectual property rights. It has completed remote control technology debugging and will soon be added to the dock remote control operation sequence."
Wang Yongsheng, General Manager of Xiamen Container Terminal Group Haitian Branch, introduced that its solid and reliable technology has made Xiamen Port at the forefront of the industry, and it has a foundation for promotion and application, adding new impetus to accelerate the construction of smart ports.
"The development and application of remote control stacker cranes is one of the key points of the second phase of intelligent transformation of Haitian Port." The relevant person in charge of Xiamen Container Terminal Group introduced that Haitian Port has completed the first phase of intelligent transformation, realizing the intelligent application of 1 bridge crane and 13 gantry cranes, constructing a 5G communication private network covering the entire site, promoting the research and development and trial operation of intelligent production operation systems (i-TOS), and achieving the goal of intelligent transformation of 8 container yard yards; Next, Haitian Port will make good use of technologies such as the Internet of Things, Beidou Satellite, and blockchain to continuously break through key core technologies of smart ports and improve the level of smart port construction.
How does the remote control reactor work?
Unlike traditional outdoor work cabins that are exposed to wind and sun, the operation console of this remote-controlled stacker is located in the indoor air conditioning room of the office building - the operator sits in an ergonomic chair, and in front of the "screen" composed of six displays, uses the steering wheel and various control buttons at hand to operate the lifting equipment, fine tune the alignment, and steadily grasp and place the container... With human-machine cooperation, a set of actions flow smoothly.
"It is equipped with multiple panoramic cameras and a LiDAR scanning system, just like having a 'golden eye', allowing operators to have a safer and more comprehensive perception of the working environment, so as to make more accurate judgments and operations." Sun Quanying, Deputy Manager of the Engineering Department of the Haitian Branch of Xiamen Container Terminal Group, told reporters that the new equipment can display the working status in real-time from multiple angles and zero dead angles, and the blind spots on traditional equipment such as box tops and corners can now be displayed intuitively on the operation screen.
