On May 9, Wei Qiuxin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Fujian Port Science and Technology Group, led a delegation to Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhenhua Technology) for a technical exchange and symposium. Li Wei, Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Zhenhua Technology, attended the meeting and participated in the discussions.
The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on key issues such as the smart port automation upgrade, the renovation of existing Quays, and the integrated application of AI technologies, forging a consensus on cooperation and jointly exploring new pathways for industrial upgrading, thereby laying a solid foundation for further deepening business synergy and jointly expanding both domestic and international markets.
During the symposium, Wei Qiuxin briefly outlined the development positioning and industrial layout of Fujian Port Technology Group. As the core platform of Fujian Port Group for advancing digitalization, Intelligent technologies, and green, low-carbon development, the technology group is fully committed to building a port‑related science and technology innovation system, actively exploring cutting‑edge technological applications in areas such as port logistics, port‑industry‑city integration, and supply chain services, thereby injecting sustained momentum into the transformation, upgrading, and high‑quality development of the port’s core business. In addition, he highlighted the AI‑based technical solutions and practical results achieved by the group’s “HIRI FUTURE” brand in the field of port automation.
He stated that, leveraging its self-developed industry-specific large model for the port sector, HIRI FUTURE’s AI vision solutions have achieved excellent results in key operational scenarios such as truck alignment correction, collision prevention, container number recognition, and terminal tractor positioning. The comprehensive intelligent port solution it has developed boasts significant advantages, including low cost, easy deployment, maintenance-free operation, and support for remote online iterative upgrades. Currently, the company has innovatively developed over 40 AI products, serving more than 80 ports both domestically and internationally, with cumulative deliveries of over 3,500 intelligent systems. Its market coverage is broad, application penetration is deep, and it has earned widespread recognition from industry clients. As a global leader in the port machinery industry, Zhenhua Heavy Industries has established end-to-end, independently controllable capabilities—spanning core electrical control systems, Intelligent equipment manufacturing, to the full-scale delivery of automated Quays. It serves as a model for us to learn from, and we look forward to drawing valuable experience and elevating our technical expertise through future cooperation.
Zhenhua Technology expresses strong recognition of the “HIRI FUTURE” brand’s efforts in deeply integrating AI with port operations. Li Wei, Party Secretary and General Manager of Zhenhua Technology, stated that the port industry is currently undergoing rapid transformation through extensive upgrades, accelerating its shift from traditional operational models to comprehensive smart‑operation systems. The market holds vast potential, yet the upgrading process still faces numerous challenges and uncertainties. With deep expertise in port system software, equipment manufacturing, electrical control systems, and project implementation, Zhenhua Technology looks forward to forging in-depth cooperation with HIRI FUTURE in areas such as AI algorithms, visual recognition, and large‑model applications. The two parties’ technological roadmaps are highly aligned; leveraging Zhenhua’s standardized interfaces for port cranes and its unified technical architecture, they can achieve seamless integration and deep fusion with HIRI FUTURE’s AI system, jointly developing an integrated smart‑port solution tailored to various Quays.
This symposium has further strengthened the foundation of cooperation, clarified the pathways for collaboration, and laid a solid groundwork for subsequent joint technological R&D, pilot project implementation, and coordinated market expansion.
Zhenhua Technology’s Deputy General Manager, along with relevant heads from the Marketing Department, the Electrical Control Institute, the Production Management Department, the Software Institute, and other related units, attended the meeting.

HIRI ICPS: Enabling Quay container trucks to park more accurately than seasoned drivers.
As the core carrier for container loading, unloading, and transshipment, the Quay’s docking positioning accuracy and efficiency directly affect the port’s overall operational rhythm, handling safety, and throughput capacity. Traditional guidance schemes primarily rely on manual command and ground/airborne markings, requiring no complex sensing equipment; however, they suffer from low precision and heavy reliance on operator experience. Drivers must repeatedly adjust their alignment, and the entire process requires dedicated supervisors, resulting in high labor costs and significant efficiency losses due to fatigue and varying levels of expertise, which in turn leads to excessively long single-container turnaround times. Subsequently emerging sensor‑assisted solutions—such as laser scanners—have improved alignment accuracy; yet, in the port’s complex outdoor environment, they are easily affected by fog, rain, and dust. When the laser lens becomes contaminated, detection accuracy drops markedly. Moreover, these devices are expensive, have limited lifespans, and incur high maintenance costs, making large‑scale deployment impractical.
China’s port “brain” goes global—when African Quays are equipped with the “Chinese brain”
In recent years, China has steadily accelerated its port‑building efforts in Africa. According to official statistics, China has participated in the investment, construction, or operation of approximately 78 ports across 32 African countries, spanning a vast region from West Africa to East Africa and from North Africa to Southern Africa. These ports have provided a crucial foothold for Chinese enterprises seeking to expand into the African market, jointly writing a new chapter in China‑Africa cooperation.
Recently, a delegation of senior leaders—including Huang Jiansheng, Director of Information and Data at the PSA Group and President of Jinsheng Logic, and Chen Lianghui, Vice President of Development and Strategic Technology at PSA Group’s Tuas Port—along with Zhao Lei, General Manager of Fujian Yisilu Internet Information Service Co., Ltd., a joint venture between PSA and Fujian Port Science and Technology Group, paid a visit to “HIRI FUTURE,” a subsidiary of Fujian Port Science and Technology Group. During the visit, both sides held an exchange meeting focusing on the research and development and practical application of Intelligent port technologies, as well as the expansion of scenarios for Intelligent port systems, jointly exploring new opportunities for cooperation in port and shipping-related intelligent technologies.
