How to "empty" the smart dock of Shanghai Yangshan Port?

65438+February 10, Shanghai Yangshan Deepwater Port Phase IV Automatic Terminal opened for trial production. This means that Shanghai has built the world's largest intelligent container terminal. Full intelligence is the biggest highlight of Yangshan Automation Terminal.

-Intelligent "porters" automatically avoid congestion.

On the busy and orderly dock, a group of intelligent "porters" who keep shuttling are particularly eye-catching. This is the automatic guided transport vehicle, also known as AGV vehicle. Engineers compare AGV cars to "courier brothers". It is equipped with an intelligent control system, which can provide the best route according to the real-time traffic conditions. When the running route is congested, the system will re-plan the route. AGV car not only has the functions of unmanned driving, automatic navigation, path optimization and active obstacle avoidance, but also can carry out fault diagnosis and power monitoring independently, so it is an "excellent employee" who can take care of himself in work and life.

-All-weather uninterrupted operation.

AGV cars can work all day, and the energy consumption is very low, and the food is "electricity". In order to improve the efficiency of "dining", AGV car adopts full power exchange mode. When the power is insufficient, the fleet management system will dispatch AGV vehicles to the power exchange station for power exchange.

The power exchange station is like a "cafeteria", and the whole process of power exchange is fully automatic. It takes only 6 minutes for an AGV car to replace the battery, and the large-capacity lithium battery can keep the AGV car running for 8 hours after it is fully charged.

-Seamless connection of giant loading and unloading robots.

It takes many links for a container to be transferred from an ocean-going freighter to land transportation, and all this is done by a "giant robot" composed of a bridge, a platform and a crane.

"Bridge" is a quayside bridge, which is the main force of production and loading and unloading at the front of the wharf. Yangshan Phase IV is about to be put into production 10 quayside bridge with a maximum load of 65 tons. Seven of them are mainly used for the operation of large trunk ships, with a lifting height of 49 meters and an overhanging distance of 70 meters, supporting the operation of double slings; "Platform" is the transfer platform of the pier bridge. After the mechanical arm and conveyor are installed here, the lock button of the container can be automatically disassembled and assembled. "Crane" is a kind of rail crane, which is mainly used in freight yard operation and interacts with AGV trolley and container truck.

Thanks to these, Shanghai Yangshan Port has realized full automation!
