According to the agreement, the two parties will jointly develop an intelligent industrial zone, 5G technology and cloud computing for the digitalisation of Qingdao port.
Cai Yinghua, president of Huawei EGB, China said that, Qingdao port is an important international port, which has the advanced automation terminal. Huawei expects to deepen the cooperation with Qingdao port to optimise intelligent port construction and further improve the operation efficiency of Qingdao.
In May 2017, Qingdao Qianwan container terminal, the first fully-automated terminal in Asia, officially launched operation. It could improve 30% terminal handling efficiency comparing to the traditional terminal.
Currently, Huawei is in talks with several major Chinese ports including Guangzhou port, Qingdao port, Tianjin port and Ningbo-Zhoushan port for 5G technology testing and application, said Li Kewu, port digitalisation professional from Huawei.
Last month, Huawei signed cooperation agreement with Guangzhou to develop 5G mobile technology for Guangzhou port and Great Bay area.
