Project background

The port area has 2 container berths, a yard area of approximately 180,000 square meters, and a large average daily container throughput. The original monitoring mainly covers the gate, and the interior of the yard and the working surface of the quay crane are basically in a blind spot.

Special requirements for coastal environments

  • All outdoor equipment guards and brackets must meet C5-M anti-corrosion grade, and bolts must be made of 316 stainless steel.
  • The installation of high-point equipment needs to consider typhoon conditions, and perform load verification based on the wind pressure that occurs once in 50 years.
  • The lens needs to be rinsed regularly with fresh water to remove salt, and the cleaning cycle is specified in the operation and maintenance manual.
  • The annual corrosion failure rate of electronic equipment must be controlled, and key components must be designed with redundant backup.

Performance

The average gate crossing time has been reduced from 45 seconds to 12 seconds, and the efficiency of searching and turning over boxes in the yard has been significantly improved. The dangerous goods box area achieves 100% video retention and passes special inspections by regulatory authorities.

Project difficulties

Issues that need to be addressed during project advancement

The yard area is large and the box positions change frequently

It is difficult to cover all working surfaces with a fixed viewing angle

The quayside bridge is high, shakes a lot, and is difficult to view

The installation location of the equipment is limited by the structure and operation.

Severe corrosion caused by sea fog and salt spray

Equipment life in coastal areas is significantly shortened

Vehicle queuing at the gate affects port drainage efficiency

Manual container handling is inefficient and backlogged during peak periods

solution

Technical and construction measures taken to address the above difficulties

The stockyard adopts a 40-meter high pole for overlooking and a ball machine to fill blind spots

forming a double-layer coverage of "high-point panorama + low-altitude close-up"

The quay crane adopts anti-shake installation + electronic anti-shake algorithm

Solving the problem of unusable images caused by shaking

All use C5-M anti-corrosion grade equipment

resistant to salt spray corrosion, key components are made of 316 stainless steel

Gate box number recognition + license plate recognition all-in-one machine

Automatically checks reservation information, crossing the gate in an average of 12 seconds
