Fujian Port Technology Group Partners with SANY Offshore: AI + Equipment, Smartly Pioneering the Future of Ports

On June 23, Wei Qiuxin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Fujian Port Science and Technology Group, led a delegation to visit the Zhuhai Industrial Park of SANY Ocean Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. for a fact-finding tour. The two sides held friendly discussions on future cooperation. Chen Jing, General Manager of SANY Ocean Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., along with relevant personnel from the Smart Port Machinery Research Institute and the Marketing Management Department, attended the meeting.

During the symposium, Chen Jing, General Manager of SANY Offshore Engineering, first extended a warm welcome to the delegation from Fujian Port Technology Group. He stated that major ports are currently accelerating their transformation toward Intelligent, Green, and Safe operations, with in-house technological R&D, domestic production of software and hardware, and practical application in real-world scenarios having become the industry’s core competitive advantages. China’s port equipment supply chain has already demonstrated strong capabilities, particularly in key components, core algorithmic computing power, and vision systems, where it can now replace certain imported products. He especially commended the brands under the Fujian Port Technology Group. “ HIRI FUTURE ” In AI Achievements and practical experience in fields such as algorithms, visual recognition, and Intelligent agent applications.

Chen Jing introduced that SANY Offshore has, since... 2011 Since establishing its presence in the Zhuhai Economic and Technological Development Zone, it has completed a facility spanning 160 A 10,000-square-meter modern industrial base saw its output value exceed RMB 10 billion last year. The company’s products cover four major categories of equipment: container handling, bulk materials handling, general logistics, and smart port systems. Among these, Reach stackers and forklifts have maintained a leading domestic market share for many consecutive years, while large-scale port machinery is exported to… 70 In multiple countries and regions, the cumulative delivery of automation equipment has exceeded 200 Tai is a global leader in the port equipment sector.

In recent years, SANY Offshore has taken the lead in the industry by completing “ Lighthouse Factory ” , introduce 100 Tai robot, achieving full-process digitalization and intelligentization from material feeding, welding, painting to assembly, with a self-reliance rate of core components reaching 60% , continuously leveraging technological innovation to drive industrial upgrading. Chen Jing stated that SANY Offshore Engineering is no longer content with… “ Sell equipment ” , but rather is committed to providing an integrated “ Electrification, Intelligent, Autonomous Driving ” An integrated, all-in-one solution that provides customers with end-to-end coverage, from loading and unloading to transportation and stacking. As China’s domestic supply chain system continues to mature, it is recommended that the industry further increase the proportion of component-level integration within complete machine solutions, leveraging mature standardized configurations and real-world operational data to showcase the overall competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing in overseas markets.

Wei Qiuxin stated that SANY Offshore is a leading enterprise in the global port equipment sector, with deep expertise in large-scale port machinery and automation equipment, serving as a model for the industry. The technological strategy of Fujian Port Technology Group aligns closely with SANY Offshore’s strategic roadmap, particularly in AI There is vast potential for cooperation in empowering equipment with Intelligent capabilities. He explained that the Technology Group, as the core platform of Fujian Port Group for advancing digitalization, Intelligent technologies, and green, low-carbon development, under its umbrella… “ HIRI FUTURE ” The Artificial Intelligence team, leveraging full-stack autonomous technology R&D, has innovatively built “ Emphasizing algorithms, downplaying hardware ” The technological roadmap has broken through the three major core bottlenecks of perception, control, and security, creating China’s first fully domestically produced, independently controllable automation retrofit solution for port equipment. Building on this foundation, the team has further developed an Intelligent operational optimization system for Quays, relying on… “ Expert Intelligent Agent Swarm ” Establish a complete chain spanning from job execution and resource management to decision support, achieving Intelligent coverage across the entire Procedure; the company continues to explore how to leverage AI Optimize port operation Procedures, striving to reduce costs and increase efficiency without compromising productivity.

Both sides reviewed the existing foundation of cooperation and expressed their anticipation that, taking this exchange as an opportunity, they will further strengthen the cooperative groundwork, clarify the collaborative roadmap, and engage in deeper cooperation in areas such as technological R&D, project implementation, and market expansion. Together, they aim to build a domestically developed, independently controllable benchmark for port Intelligent solutions and jointly enhance the reputation of the Made in China brand.
