As international trade continues to grow and port logistics expand, improving the efficiency and safety of container loading and unloading is essential. To achieve this, ports and enterprises must invest in automation and intelligent technology, adopt advanced equipment and systems, and improve operational precision and efficiency.
The intelligent 3D simulation system for ship-loading uses high-performance LiDAR from Beneweke, which can monitor distance, collisions, and material status in real-time and from all angles during the loading process. This improves the efficiency and safety of ship-loading operations. Moreover, the laser radar is the most accurate positioning sensor on the market and can provide centimeter-level accuracy for automatic container grabbing by port gantry cranes and other equipment. These technological applications help to reduce operational risks and provide more efficient and safer ship-loading services for enterprises.

The Smart Ship Loading System employs multiple high-performance 3D LiDARs manufactured by Benewake to provide collision avoidance warnings during unloading and volume measurement functions, thus achieve intelligent ship loading. The system covers a complete loading process, including automatic ship detection, ship hold positioning, and gantry tube positioning.
Accurate Pile Identification to Prevent Ship Tipping
Bulk cargo loading requires real-time monitoring of unloading positions and pile volumes to prevent ship tipping. Benewake LiDARs with high resolution and frame rates can monitor unloading positions and pile volumes in real-time. They issue alerts when improper unloading sequences or excessive piling on one side of the ship hold is detected. This helps operators adjust unloading operations promptly to ensure safe and efficient unloading.
Accurate Feature Recognition to Avoid Collision Risks
When loading bulk materials, it's crucial to have precise control over the position and extension of the gantry tube to prevent collisions between the tube and the ship hold, which can result in the ship tipping over. Benewake LiDARs can precisely identify the features of both the gantry tube and the ship hold, determine their position, and record the gantry tube's trajectory. Alerts will be triggered when collision risks are detected, preventing collisions and reducing onboard guidance manpower, thereby improving operational efficiency.
Accurate Unloading Identification to Enhance Efficiency and Reduce Dust Pollution
During unloading, excessive lifting speed of the gantry tube can cause dust pollution, while slow lifting speed can affect efficiency. Benewake LiDARs with high frame rates and strong real-time monitoring capabilities can judge the lifting speed of the gantry tube based on the status of the pile and dust. Alerts are issued promptly when excessive or insufficient lifting speed is detected, thus guiding operators to perform precise operations and improve unloading efficiency.
The Automatic Ship Loading Project at the Chizhou Port
LiDAR mounted on gantry crane hoists can be used for both loaded and unloaded container trucks. In typical scenarios, LiDAR generates point clouds and gives relative 3D positions of containers, container trucks, operation markers, and the environment, providing dynamic positional references for automated operations to ensure production safety.
LiDAR enables features like centimeter-level target positioning, perception of relative environmental positions of targets, target center trajectories, and perception of target swing angles.
