The 10th Globe Mobile Broadband
Forum was held in Zurich of Switzerland recently and ZPMC participated in it at
the invitation.
ZPMC, China Mobile, Vodafone and Huawei
issued White Book on 5G Smart Ports on the Forum, making deep descriptions on
the role of 5G in automatic and intelligent restructure of ports to speed up
the application research and project launching of 5G in ports. Related
responsible persons of ZPMC and other three companies made discussion on how to
provide more effective solutions of smart ports for clients with the
technologies of AI, cloud computing and big data.
The fast development of the 5G technology,
featuring the large bandwidth, low time delay and high reliability, will
provide the brand new communication solution for machinery of ports, improving
the further development of intelligent ports. ZPMC establishes the leading
group for the technologies of 5G and AI for more cooperation with Huawei and
China Mobile. They have made the pilot test on the remote control of RTGs with
the special 5G port network in Shanghai Yangshan Port and
Ningbo Port.
ZPMC will explore to post back the
high-frequency videos of RTGs with the large bandwidth of 5G and to make
PLC-based real time remote control with the low time delay of the technology.
Therefore, the container operators can move and pick containers accurately in
the central control room and can also operate more than one RTG at a time,
improving work conditions and operation efficiency as well.
Furthermore, with the technology of 5G, the
fast wireless network of low cost can be made of multiple applications of
ports, including the unmanned driving of AGVs or IGVs and video monitoring on
port areas. It can, together with the edge computing and AI capacity, help the
coordination of the equipment and production systems and improve the work
efficiency and intelligent operation of ports.
