To meet global smart port and industrial intelligent upgrading demands and leverage national pilot programs for building a powerful transport nation, Guangzhou Port Group selected Nansha Grain & General Terminal as a pilot to address traditional bulk grain operation pain points—high labor costs, low automation, high on-site risks and poor overall resource scheduling.
By integrating automatic control, digital twin, robotics, AI and machine vision technologies, the group upgraded loading/unloading machinery (gate cranes, ship unloaders) at Berths 6–8, power distribution equipment and management systems. This project delivered China’s first fully automated large-scale bulk grain terminal with multiple industry-first technologies. It realizes full-process smart management, transforms conventional operations and drives high-quality port development.
