Tianjin Port to build an 'intelligent port'

Tianjin Port Group has launched a three-year plan to build an intelligent Tianjin Port. It has planned 29 projects in five fields. The purpose of building an intelligent port is to increase upgrading and transformation to guarantee an information-based world-leading modern port and investment center.

The information-based construction of Tianjin Port focuses on digitization, automation and systematization, insisting on data-centered, internet-based and application-oriented services.

In the recent years, information and intelligent technology have been widely used in all kinds of industries such as intelligent logistics. Intelligent ports are thus expected to be the next development trend.

The intelligent port will be based on digital infrastructures, centered on data integration, oriented as intelligent management, and committed to convenient trade and ecological creation and sharing. It will pay more attention to integration of modern information technology and port development to build an open, shared, win-win, creative and vigorous northern shipping, logistics and trade ecosystem.

The platform of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ports logistics supply chain will be built by the end of this year. By the end of 2019, the whole ecosystem will have been formed.
