Port of Tianjin, China
Visual guidance for container lock removal at the terminal
Tianjin Port has taken the lead in realizing the automation and unmanned operation of the modern terminal with advanced process design, advanced technology application and advanced equipment configuration. Since the commissioning of the operation, the deployment rate of personnel than the equivalent shoreline automated container terminal to reduce 60%, reduce construction investment by 30%, reduce container operation backward transportation link 50%. In the construction process, "container ground intelligent unlocking station" is a major problem. Each container must be locked and fixed before loading to ensure the safety of navigation and transportation, in the process of port transit, the need to add unlocking of containers, through the introduction of 3D vision system, to achieve more than a hundred types of locks in different countries compatible with the type of identification, guide the operation of multiple robots, to achieve the automation of locks dismantling and installation, and cracked the global port problems.
SOLUTION
AT-S1000-04A-ET
Binocular laser line 3D camera
The product is characterised by high precision, fast deployment and easy maintenance. It can be used in outdoor and semi-outdoor environments to increase productivity and automation.
High adaptability
The 3D vision system guides the robot to complete the rapid disassembly and assembly of locks by positioning the corner pieces of various containers, compatible with containers from different shipping lines around the world.
Environmental adaptation
The 3D vision system is deployed at the edge of the station's entrance/exit and uses the laser imaging solution, which can effectively adapt to strong outdoor light interference and sunset interference.
High efficiency
By guiding the robot operation through visual localisation, the operation efficiency is reduced from the original 60s per vehicle to 30s per vehicle, improving the flow efficiency of the whole terminal.
Easy to use
The system is easy to use, and the software can be used without programming. Daily only need appearance cleaning, fixing and other routine maintenance, service life of not less than 5 years.
