Recently, shandong port Qingdao wisdom green port construction added new results, independently by shandong port Qingdao wheel barge company, leading research and development of “tug panoramic image production safety system” formally put into production use, for the tug mount “wisdom eye”, effectively solve the tug in the production of the voyage of safety problems as a result of visual blind area.This system is the first of its kind in China, and it will provide reference for the realization of intelligent tug operation in China’s port industry.
It is understood that in the current tug operation, tug operators often need to judge the distance between the tug and the target according to their own experience, and carry out corresponding operation operations. Due to certain visual blind area in the bridge, safety accidents such as mast scraping and collision are easy to occur if the driver is not observant enough in the operation against the big ship.In order to further improve the safety of tug operation, Shandong Qingdao Port Barge Co., Ltd. increased research efforts, innovated the introduction of the concept of “360-degree panoramic image of automobile”, researched and developed the “panoramic image system of tug safety production”, and focused on solving the visual blind area of tug driving. After one and a half years, the system was successfully developed.After the operation, the operator can use the digital operation platform to improve the operation process, reduce the misoperation of the tug, improve the operation accuracy, and effectively reduce the risk of tug operation.
The tug panoramic imaging system “production safety including 360 degrees 360 degrees panoramic images, radar range early warning, mast collision avoidance warning three big modules, through 2 sets of panoramic video camera installed in the hull and 11 millimeter wave radar, the tug surrounding waters within 200 meters of sea condition for real-time scanning, can achieve 360 – degree image monitoring, precision ranging, voice alarm function, such as found in all kinds of hidden danger in time, provide great help for the driver.
“Useful, useful, intelligent!”Cui Hongquan, captain of Asia 10, a barge company at Qingdao Port in Shandong Province, summed up the experience of using the new system in three words. “It’s like installing a ‘wisdom eye’ on tugboats. Previously, operations were entirely based on experience, but now it can be quantified and digitized, making the operation more confident, safer and more efficient.”
According to the arrangement of Shandong Port Group, Qingdao Port of Shandong Province continues to make efforts to build an internationally leading smart and green port, and has achieved many beneficial results leading the country and even the world.It has built and operated the world’s leading and the first fully automated container terminal in Asia, contributing “Chinese wisdom” and “Chinese solution” to the world’s automated terminal construction with its excellent performance of low cost, short cycle, high efficiency, full intelligence, safer and zero emission.On this basis, the innovative introduction of hydrogen fuel cell pack to provide power for the automatic rail crane, so that the rail crane to achieve complete zero emissions, no pollution.At the same time, advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and mobile Internet are applied to port production management to comprehensively improve the level of automation and intelligence of ports. The construction project of 5G smart port application system has been successfully selected into the top ten promotion cases of “5G+ Industrial Internet”.
