Recently, HIRI FUTURE's latest R&D innovation achievement has been unveiled. Innovation and Application of Intelligent Control Technology for Port Cranes Based on Multimodal Fusion of Large Models Made its debut at the Port Technology Innovation Conference.

This conference is themed “ Cultivate and strengthen new-quality productivity in ports, and promote the integrated development of technological innovation and industrial innovation. The conference, themed around [topic], was held in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. Organized by the China Port Association and co-organized by the China Transportation News and the journal “Port Technology,” the event brought together over 300 experts, scholars, and guest representatives from transportation authorities, research institutes, and port enterprises. Participants shared the latest ideas and successful experiences in the field of port technology innovation, as well as engaged in an in-depth discussion on new opportunities and pathways for promoting the integrated development of technological innovation and industrial innovation. At the conference, Tao Chengbo, Party Secretary and Chairman of Zhejiang Seaport Group and Ningbo-Zhoushan Port Group, and Gu Jinshan, President of the China Ports Association and Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai International Port (Group) Co., Ltd. The leaders will deliver important speeches and release reports on topics such as leveraging “AI+” to elevate the competitiveness of the port industry and promoting the development of smart shipping in the Yangtze River Delta.

HIRI FUTURE breaks new ground by integrating AI large models with multimodal sensing technologies, independently innovating in the port sector. L4-level intelligent loading and unloading robot — By leveraging AI technology, we empower gantry cranes with “self-perception” and “autonomous decision-making” capabilities, enabling “driverless operation” and “autonomous operation.” A 100% fully automated rate has been achieved. 。
