Shipyard and port

Shipyard and port

In the wave of Industry 4.0, electro-permanent magnet technology is revolutionizing heavy lifting, injecting strong momentum into shipbuilding and smart port construction. With its core advantages of "millisecond response adsorption" and "millimeter-level precision control," this technology has deeply empowered leading shipbuilders such as Hudong-Zhonghua and Jiangnan Shipyard, achieving high-frequency, precise lifting and intelligent sorting of large steel plates. It creates a new handling mode with low energy consumption, high safety, and full automation, driving the green transformation of the port and shipping industry. At Liangshan Port's smart terminal, the magnetic control system successfully managed the unmanned stacking of steel coils exceeding 35 tons, setting an industry record with millimeter-level positioning accuracy. From dockyards to coastlines, this magnetic technology, as a testament to Chinese manufacturing, is outlining a magnificent picture of intelligent industry against the backdrop of the sea and sky. It provides a Chinese solution for the intelligent upgrading of global port and shipping equipment, writing a brilliant chapter in the industrial revolution of the new era.

Industry pain points

Low efficiency of manual hoisting

Unable to ensure personal safety
High labor cost input and low efficiency

Traditional hoisting equipment is backward

Vacuum suction cups have poor adaptability
Grippers and clamps easily damage workpieces

High energy consumption

Electro-permanent magnets are 95% more energy-efficient than electromagnets
Taking a steel plant as an example, it can save 200,000 yuan a year (taking Liugang as an example)
