Huawei Announces Tianjin Port Partnership to Bring Smart Green Development
Huawei has recently signed a 5G intelligent port innovation deal with Tianjin Port. This partnership will bring 5G smart port technology to Tianjin and other Chinese ports. The deal also includes a collaboration with Guangzhou port in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
5G’s large-bandwidth and multi-antenna technologies
Huawei and Tianjin Port have recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement to enhance top-level information design and smart port cooperation. Huawei will contribute its expertise in business transformation exploration and provide comprehensive information and communication solutions to the Tianjin Port. The parties will also boost industrial park cooperation and jointly promote smart port park construction.
Both parties are committed to providing smart port services to enable a smarter supply chain and a greener environment. The partnership will provide digital infrastructure services for the port and its 20,000 employees. The aim is to make the port a smart, sustainable hub for global trade.
Operators’ efforts to reduce CO2 emissions
Huawei and Tianjin Port have signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two companies will collaborate on developing top-level information design relations and smart port development. The agreement also calls for Huawei to provide Tianjin Port with a comprehensive information and communication solution. The two companies also plan to boost cooperation in the development of smart port parks and industrial parks.
Huawei’s smart green solutions are designed to help industrial companies reduce energy use and carbon footprint. The company has designed solutions that can help carbon-intensive companies reduce their energy consumption up to ten times their own emissions. In addition, it helps them use advanced materials to reduce their energy consumption. These solutions can also simplify operations by allowing users to manage energy more easily and visualizing their results.
Huawei’s 3+3 architecture for green development
Huawei understands that the strength of a brand drives innovation, and they have built a reputation for providing products that solve real world problems. In 2016, their R&D expenditures accounted for 14.6 percent of annual revenue. They have a single-minded commitment to innovation, and their philosophy is “Might from a small hole,” which means that they believe that resources can be improved consistently with a clear purpose.
One such example is their AI-enabled PowerStar solution, which allows customers to see how energy efficient their devices are. They also introduced an Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) solution that improved their network’s energy efficiency by 81% while saving them 29% on their monthly bills. In addition, Huawei replaced their old equipment rooms with space-saving cabinets, which saved 19,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a year.
China Mobile’s 5G network
Huawei and China Mobile are working together to promote 5G intelligent port applications. Together they have launched the country’s first 5G macro base stations and installed China’s first mobile edge computing server in a port. Their partnership aims to promote high-speed, low-latency, and low-cost connectivity. The two companies are also planning to work together to promote smart port monitoring and unmanned driving, two key areas for 5G.
Huawei’s Tianjin port partnership has brought new technologies to the port. These include intelligent twins, autonomous driving, 5G, cloud computing, and IoT. With this technology, the port now needs 60 percent fewer staff. Drivers can now operate trucks from a distance and no longer have to face dangerous working conditions. Huawei has also shared an AR production assistant helmet that allows factory workers to make calls with voice commands. The helmet also has applications in training and employee safety.
The announcement followed the company’s unveiling of its Global Joint Innovation Lab with Tianjin Port and other leading universities and companies on Aug 18 in Tianjin.
Jiang Kaimin, senior marketing expert of Huawei Customs and Port Group, said: “The digitalization of ports involves many subdivisions, seeking to achieve the optimal efficiency of the overall system of people, cargoes, vehicles, ships and ports”.
