China Merchants Port is deploying Uhnder digital perception radar in a fleet of autonomous trucks at its smart port in Shenzhen, in order to enable efficient and safe operations.
Specifically, the digital radar expert, Uhnder, Inc. and Yunshan Technologies Ltd., delivered a digital perception radar sensor solution for use in autonomous trucks operating in shipping ports.
In light of the above, China Merchants Port (CMPort) decided to deploy a digital perception radar in a fleet of autonomous trucks operating at its Mawan Smart Port in Shenzhen.
To remind, the Mawan Smart Port is CMPort’s leading project site for the deployment of the latest intelligent port technologies.
Smart port development is of key importance for CMPort. We are deploying the newest digital radar sensing technologies in our fleet of autonomous trucks to enable efficient and safe operation, even in extremely challenging conditions due to rain, fog, or dust.
….said Wang Pei, CEO of China Merchants International Technology Limited.
As noted, the digital perception radar solution provides high-precision data in an effort to ensure an autonomous truck arrives in the correct position, to within five centimeters, for automated container movement between the ship and storage or departure areas.

At the same time the radar technology enables a large number of co-located radars operating within the industrial port to co-exist reliably.
Uhnder’s digital radar reduces cost of operations and increases safety, both of which are essential for ports to process an increasing number of containers efficiently.
…as David Loadman, VP Business Development, Uhnder concluded.
