Application Case | JHC Industrial Panel PC Supports Warehouse Sorting in Argentina Ports
Ports have always been important transit hubs for domestic and international trade. With the continuous growth of global trade, the cargo throughput of port terminals has increased sharply. As early as the 1990s, the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Europe's largest port, began exploring the automation of container terminals. In recent years, advancements in 5G communication, blockchain, and artificial intelligence have brought smart logistics from concept to practice.
Customer Application Requirements
Ports, as critical links in the logistics and transportation chain, are facing both opportunities and challenges in adopting smart technologies. To enhance resilience in daily operations and risk management, countries have actively explored the use of information technology to improve efficiency and quality in areas such as transportation, loading/unloading, and warehousing, aiming for comprehensive smart operations.
As the core component of smart ports, the quality of intelligent warehousing management directly determines the efficiency of port operations. Modern warehousing systems involve complex items, diverse shapes and functions, and intricate processes. These systems must handle storage, movement, sorting, and assembly tasks. To efficiently manage and respond to these processes, technologies such as automatic control, intelligent robotic stacking, smart information management, wireless RFID, mobile computing, human-computer interaction, and data mining are essential. These technologies enable automatic inventory, picking, data queries, location management, dynamic stock control, and inbound/outbound logistics. A suitable, high-performance industrial panel PC serves as the main control system, facilitating the seamless construction of an intelligent warehousing system.
A large container terminal in Argentina sought an Industrial Panel PC for its intelligent warehousing sorting system to ensure the system operates smoothly. The requirements include:
- Adaptability to harsh port warehouse environments.
- Powerful performance with long-term stable operation.
- Rich I/O interfaces for connecting scanning devices.
- High-brightness, high-resolution capacitive touchscreen for simple and flexible human-computer interaction.
