Tianjin Port Group along with Huawei built a smart terminal in Tianjin Port, aiming to achieve smarter, safer, efficient and greener port operations.
This initiative wants to deal with port congestion that caused severe disruptions in global supply chains, and led to goods handling problem, as well as other port related issues, causing a decrease in overall efficiency.
Now, at the Tianjin Port the whole process of moving the container trucks to the automatic locking/unlocking stations can be completed in one go. The intelligent and digital transformation of the port has led to tangible benefits and increased efficiency.
In fact, each container at the Tianjin Port now consumes 20% less energy, and cranes are 20% more efficient on average, with each crane operating 39 container units per hour.
Commenting on the prospect of smart port Jason Li, Board Member of the Huawei Bangladesh, stated:
Bangladesh is moving fast riding on the power of digital transformation. Smart ports and terminals can be the focus point in next few years for realizing Smart Bangladesh vision. If Bangladesh can turn Chattogram and Mongla ports into smart one, then the daily operations there will be easier and those can create positive impacts on the economy
