Sany Marine Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (SANY Marine), the port machinery subsidiary of SANY Group (SANY), has achieved a significant breakthrough with its H-Move2.0 intelligent system in the tire crane automation project at the Port of Tianjin.
After four months of test trials, the system has increased the operational efficiency of tire cranes to 20 moves per hour, setting a new standard in the development of green, digital, and intelligent ports.
SANY Marine’s intelligent port solutions have introduced significant advancements, including real-time anti-shaking and anti-twisting technologies to ensure automated and safe operations, pushing operational efficiency beyond traditional manual methods.
Leveraging digital twin technologies, the team can predict and simulate the trajectory and position of containers, and has integrated the spreader lowering action into essential technical functions for enhanced results.
The automation efficiency of a traditional tire crane is about 15 to 16 cycles per hour. The newly upgraded system has an abnormal intervention rate of only 2.78% with an operation ratio reaching 1:6, meaning one operator can manage up to six RTGs simultaneously.
The new version integrates GPS, AI visualization, and 3D scanning imaging technologies, significantly improving signal reliability.
“There is still potential for upgrading our carrier tools and related equipment, through which we can better utilize our resources and elevate the low-carbon and green development,” said Cheng Shidong, director of the Urban Transportation Center at the Institute of Comprehensive Transportation, National Development and Reform Commission.
