"Continue to write more stories of spring, enter the national new area of special economic zone" network theme activity entered the West Coast new area of Qingdao, Shandong Province. On April 25, the press delegation came to the fully automated terminal of Qingdao port and felt the efficiency improvement brought by scientific and technological innovation.

The reporter learned that since the fully automated terminal of Qingdao port was officially put into commercial operation on May 11, 2017, the loading and unloading efficiency has continued to improve steadily. At present, the average single machine efficiency has reached 36.2 natural containers / hour, and the highest is 47.6 natural containers / hour, which comprehensively surpasses the manual terminal, and the operation efficiency is more than 50% higher than the similar automated terminals abroad.

Zhang Wei, deputy manager of Engineering Technology Department of Qingdao port fully automated container terminal of Shandong Port, said in an interview that Qingdao port fully automated container terminal plans to build six berths, with a coastline of 2088 meters long and a water depth of - 20 meters at the front of the terminal, which can dock 24000 International standard container container ships, with a designed annual handling capacity of 5.2 million international standard containers, It is one of the largest automated terminals in the world.

According to the reporter, there are "ten innovations" and "five breakthroughs" in the fully automated terminal of Qingdao port. Among them, the most important one is the world's first cycle charging technology and system of AGV. The power system and cycle charging mode of AGV with small capacity, long life and high power have been developed. The weight of battery system has been reduced from 13 tons to 2 tons, and the service life has been extended from 2 years to 10 years, At present, it is the lightest and only AGV with unlimited driving range in the world; The world's first large-scale port machinery "one key anchoring" automatic windproof technology and system, developed accurate positioning automatic anchoring device and automatic control program, realized all large-scale machinery can be automatically anchored in 2 minutes, solved the global problem of large-scale port machinery against instantaneous wind; It is the world's first robot technology and system for automatic disassembly and assembly of container rotary lock. It uses visual recognition and AI technology to realize accurate identification and detection of lock pad and lock hole. It develops special accessories for disassembly and assembly of lock and corresponding control program to realize automatic disassembly and assembly of twist lock by robot; The world's first hydrogen powered rail crane technology and system introduces hydrogen power into port large machinery for the first time. Each standard container can reduce carbon dioxide emission by about 3.5kg and sulfur dioxide emission by about 0.11kg. According to the annual throughput of 3 million standard containers, the annual carbon dioxide emission can be reduced by about 21000 tons and sulfur dioxide emission can be reduced by about 640 tons.
