Digital twin industry case: Digital Smart port

1)  Case background

The port is a comprehensive transportation hub , It is an important part of the construction of a transportation power .“ the 14th Five-Year Plan ” Digital reform and “ Digital seaport ” Will serve as a “ Top ten landmark achievements ” One of . Reshape the system 、 Business restructuring and process reengineering , Close to horizontal synergy 、 Longitudinal penetration , Build a working system for digital reform 、“ Digital seaport ” Operating mechanism and “ Digital seaport ” Data service platform 、“ Four ports ” Cloud platform and other major application scenarios , send “ Mathematical intelligence ” Become the most important symbol of a strong port with first-class management and first-class technology .

Smart port means relying on modern information technology , Promote the digitalization of ports 、 Intelligent development . The development of smart ports is the demand of the times . With the development of economic globalization , The continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength , As an important way of foreign trade , Bear more and more transportation pressure , The development of smart ports has provided new ideas for the increasing port transportation pressure , At the same time, it also conforms to the development trend of the times , It is an important aspect of using modern scientific and technological means to promote the development of China's intelligent transportation .

Nowadays, the development of smart ports in China has made great progress , Tianjin port 、 Qingdao Port 、 Ningbo port 、 Dalian port and many other important ports are becoming more and more intelligent , The labor cost is greatly saved , It improves the efficiency of port transportation , It has accelerated the development of China's foreign trade .

2021 List of global container port throughput in , Among the top ten ports , There are nine Asian ports , Seven Chinese ports , Shanghai port 、 Ningbo Zhoushan port 、 Shenzhen port 、 Nansha port, Guangzhou 、 Qingdao Port 、 Tianjin port and Hong Kong port .

Forty years since the reform and opening up , A large port group has realized the transformation from inland port 、 Hekou port 、 Harbor 、 A hundred million ton port 、 The great leap forward development from the Oriental port to the world port , With the rapid development of information technology , Various information technology applications help port transformation and upgrading , It can be predicted that the intelligent port will become a new type of port development in the future .

2) Solution

In order to further accelerate the construction of smart port , A large port group has done a lot of work in recent years , For example, paperless container lifting 、 Intelligent tally 、 Online business hall 、 Cloud data processing center, etc , But these achievements are far from enough , In the future, more energy will be invested to achieve the goal of intelligent port . In the digital construction of smart port , At the data level, we are generally faced with some problems ：

First, there are a wide range of data sources . Port system data includes port containers 、 Groceries 、 Tally production business application related data 、 Data related to the truck 、 Ship related data 、 Terminal data 、 Freight forwarding company data 、 Data of shipping agency company, etc .

Second, data access is difficult . Due to the uniqueness of port business , At the same time of business development, many port specific business systems will be built , Each business system is built according to its own needs , The service agreement and data standard are not unified , Existing structured data , And then there's the documentation 、 picture 、 Video and other unstructured data need to be processed .

Third, the data is scattered . There are many large screen system websites in port visualization system , The integrity is not high , It forms a dispersion for users and visitors 、 A sense of disunity , It is not conducive to the unified promotion and publicity of the large screen system .

For the pain points of the above industries , Based on easy to know micro EasyV Build an integrated digital twin visualization platform , It meets the digital scene of smart port ：

First, the data are diversified . With the construction and development of automated ports , The automation level of port IOT equipment and systems has been continuously improved , Port digitalization and intelligent application are developing constantly , The original visualization, data report and other technical means can no longer meet the real-time data presentation requirements of various scenarios .

Second, report and publicity visualization . The achievements of smart port construction need to be presented in various ways such as data visualization and digital twinning , Show the construction achievements of smart port with brand-new technical means , With the help of real and vivid digital effects , Combined with application scenario data fusion capability , Meet the needs of publicity and exhibition 、 Live explanation 、 Presentation and other multi-dimensional requirements .

Third, intelligent production and operation . Integrate various data of production and operation , A smart port with full life cycle operation management , From the arrival of the goods 、 Loading and unloading 、 Transfer reactor 、 Warehousing and other full cycle 、 The whole process 、 Full dynamic job simulation , Realize the monitoring of the whole life cycle of port production process and production factor operation process , Improve work efficiency , Accelerate the realization of smart port ecosystem .

As is “ the Belt and Road ” The starting city of , After the integration of the five ports , The dry port of a city will play a special role in the allocation of seaport resources and the circulation of goods , It has become an international dry port city . The construction of a city's smart dry port is based on 、 Store 、 analysis 、 Integrate the market 、 Enterprises 、 Port and other data information , It is committed to building the dry port of a city into a wide-ranging city 、 Quick update 、 A multifunctional information port . The dry port of a city has realized the seamless connection with the information of a large port group , Set the date of shipment 、 Yard 、 Port and other relevant logistics information data and company storage information 、 Cargo information integration , In order to carry out double hanging 、 Logistics finance and other businesses provide strong support ; By improving the construction of a city's dry port intelligent bayonet , Improve the customs supervision area EDI Data center construction, etc , Provide an efficient and convenient traffic environment in the port in an all-round way .

3) The construction achievements

The digital twin visualization system of a large port has been continuously constructed for several years , It has achieved rich application results , Undertook and excelled at all levels 、 scale , Visit and reception work for various objects , The information and data of the large port group are presented to visitors vividly , It left a deep impression and a good experience to the visitors , It has also won a lot of public praise , Attract many people in the same industry 、 Relevant industries and government departments of different industries 、 Business organizations come to visit and learn from the past , It has become the brand effect of the port 、 Show the corporate image 、 An important support guarantee for promoting popularity . Based on easy to know micro EasyV Smart port built by digital twin visualization platform , Its value is mainly reflected in the following aspects ：

One 、 Digital twins through workflow , Simulate and deduce each process link , Assist in formulating optimization plan .

Two 、 Based on the digital twin port integrated operation platform , Build the port area's import and export freight industry engine , Connect the logistics, finance and Trade Industrial Park in Central China , Drive the overall interaction of employment, research, production and marketing in Houcheng city . Combined with the resource advantages of port logistics industry , structure “ Qiangang 、 The central 、 Post city ” Overall industrial linkage .

3、 ... and 、 Create a data integration and service center , Establish data collection and sharing mechanism , Through the big data analysis visualization platform , Realize real-time monitoring and dispatching control of port business .
