01 / Overview

With the development of information technology, global port and terminal operations are gradually shifting from labor-intensive to technology intensive. Relying on the characteristics of 5G's high bandwidth and low latency, ports can achieve intelligent upgrades and comprehensive perception and visualization monitoring, thereby significantly improving business efficiency.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

With the development of information technology, global port and terminal operations are gradually shifting from labor-intensive to technology intensive. In the digital and automated transformation of port production, the port production and operation system presents the characteristics of replacing human labor with machines and integrating various information technologies with port production and operation. By utilizing remote control technology and other means to achieve unmanned operations, labor costs can be significantly reduced. The informatization level of automated terminals is relatively high, and their main business is to use wired networks to achieve remote control and other functions. However, there are still a large number of scenarios, such as being limited by their own mobility conditions and unable to achieve wired connections. There is an urgent need for wireless transformation with high bandwidth and low latency. Relying on new technologies such as 5G can achieve intelligent upgrading and transformation of ports, comprehensive perception and visual monitoring, thereby significantly improving business efficiency. Mawan Smart Port is the first automated terminal in China that has been upgraded from a traditional terminal. This intelligent transformation and upgrade relies on artificial intelligence, 5G applications, and the Beidou system.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
