Connecting the sea and land, smart terminals build new channels for freight transportation

Despite this, some brave navigators still defied the difficulties and resolutely embarked on the great journey of ocean navigation, and the dock has become a place where relatives and friends reluctantly say goodbye. With the development of the times, the cultural and economic and trade significance carried by the wharf has become increasingly rich, and it is full of vitality in the new era.

Technology adds fuel to the construction of smart terminals

In the era of economicization, any country wants to achieve independence from the market Development is almost impossible. In order to further promote economic development and accelerate the research and development of cutting-edge science and technology, many countries adhere to the development concept of openness and mutual progress and strive to strengthen cooperation with other countries in finance and trade, culture, education, medical care and other fields. As an important place for countries to export and import goods, the importance of docks is self-evident.

Since entering the new era, the development of my country's agriculture, transportation, medical, construction and other industries has taken on a new look, and the construction of logistics hubs such as ports and terminals has been changing with each passing day. The realization of all this cannot be achieved without the support and promotion of science and technology. The comprehensive and deep embedment of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data and other information technologies will not only bring about management transformation and efficiency improvement, but also the transformation from "manpower" to "fully automated" and from the old production model Transition to modern mechanized production model.

In people’s traditional impression, the dock should be bustling and full of people. Nowadays, smart terminals equipped with various cutting-edge technologies also present a new look. After the completion of the smart terminal, many tasks that can only be completed by manpower have been replaced by various modern equipment. On some large smart terminals, there is no one on the steel matrix of several square kilometers. Giant cranes go back and forth between the container area and the shore along the rollers, transporting goods in an orderly manner. This has to be amazing!

　What new functions does the smart terminal have?

In order to better meet the demand for sea and land freight, many coastal cities in my country have issued corresponding development plans, hoping to build them as soon as possible to bear hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of millions of tons of cargo. Throughput-optimized smart terminal.As one of my country's coastal open cities, Qingdao has achieved a series of results in the construction of smart terminals. At present, the fully automated container terminal of Qingdao Port has been put into use, and the mechanized operation method has also achieved good results.

Compared with ordinary terminals, the outstanding feature of smart terminals is the improvement of transportation efficiency and the reduction of transportation costs. After the machine vision anti-lifting system of container cards is adopted in the smart terminal, automatic identification and processing can be realized "in an instant" by using technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, and the operation of grabbing containers has basically achieved "zero waiting time". In addition, the use of equipment such as unmanned transport vehicles can ensure that goods are placed at the target location and reduce the probability of misplacement of goods.

At present, industry insiders at home and abroad generally have confidence in the construction of smart terminals, and investors also regard smart terminals as a major outlet. Smart terminals not only conform to the trend of "machine replacement of people", but also provide a more convenient and convenient way for freight transportation between countries in the new era. Smart terminals use unmanned transport vehicles, automatic detectors and other equipment to a large extent, which also shows from one side the impact of technological development on cargo transportation and marine economic development.

The role of smart terminals as logistics hubs will be strengthened

Looking at the world, accelerating the construction of smart terminals has become the consensus of various countries. Some European countries Developed countries have incorporated the construction of smart terminals into their national industrial development plans. For countries that focus on developing the marine economy and export a large amount of seafood every year, the construction of smart terminals is even more important. As an important gateway connecting land and sea, smart terminals seem to affect the quality and effect of cargo transportation between countries.

How to fully explore the value of smart terminals and accelerate the release of the functions of smart terminals has become the focus of researchers. As an industry insider said, "In the era of logistics, the port is not the boss, and the ship is not the boss, but the 'cargo' is the boss." In order to realize the convenient distribution and circulation of goods, we need to build modern and intelligent sea and land ports. Make more efforts on aspects such as , smart terminals and so on.

Planning and design, production application models, etc. will have a non-negligible impact on the actual implementation and functional release of smart terminals. Therefore, in the process of building smart terminals, it is also necessary to brainstorm and listen to multiple opinions with an open mind. It is believed that in the near future, smart terminals will create more convenience for the exchange of land and sea goods.
