Container Terminal Digital Twin Yard System Construction

New requirements for terminal production and operation have emerged as a result of the increase in container terminal throughput. Traditional terminals' manufacturing capabilities fall short of the expanding service needs. By constructing a digital twin yard for container terminals, the production capacity of terminals can be effectively improved, and the production operation process can be optimized. This paper firstly constructs a digital twin yard system for container terminals, proposing that it is mainly composed of physical space, virtual space, data, services, and intelligent agents. This paper elaborates on the core technologies of digital twin yards and finally takes the container delivery and loading process as an example to solve the production bottlenecks of the yard in the container delivery business by reorganizing the operation process and targeting it, which can improve the terminal production efficiency to a certain extent.

New requirements have emerged for terminal production and operation due to the increase in container terminal throughput. Traditional terminals' manufacturing capabilities are insufficient to meet the expanding service needs. By constructing a digital twin yard for container terminals, production capacity can be effectively improved and the production operation process can be optimized. This paper constructs a digital twin yard system for container terminals, consisting of physical and virtual spaces, data, services, and intelligent agents. The paper focuses on the core technologies of digital twin yards and uses the container delivery and loading process as an example to address production bottlenecks in the yard, resulting in improved terminal production efficiency to some extent.
