Project Background

Fangchenggang Port in Guangxi handles busy loading, unloading and transshipment of coal and bulk materials. A large number of dump trucks travel to and from berths for bulk‑cargo operations. The port features strong sea wind and heavy salt‑fog corrosion with heavy vehicle flow. Traditional manual vehicle counting brings high labor intensity, frequent missed or wrong records, and lacks image evidence for reconciliation. The port requires an automatic vehicle counting system adapted to high‑salt‑fog coastal outdoor conditions.

Project Pain Points

1. Harsh port environment: Heavy salt fog and strong sea wind may corrode ordinary surveillance devices, requiring high‑level equipment protection.
2. Heavy traffic: Dense truck flow during peak periods causes omissions and errors in manual counting with low efficiency.
3. No visual records: Manual statistics lack snapshot archives for later reconciliation and verification.
4. Difficult on‑site management: Managers cannot get real‑time traffic data; reports rely on manual sorting with delayed information.

Solution

Chongqing Jinyun Machinery deployed Dual‑camera Capture Vehicle Counting Robot at Fangchenggang Port. Equipped with dual‑camera recognition, the system completes counting while trucks pass at normal speed without stopping.

Hardware Advantages

• Industrial‑grade protection against coastal salt‑fog corrosion, supporting 7×24‑hour continuous operation under all‑weather open‑air port conditions.
• Light‑weight pole‑mount deployment, no large‑scale civil construction required. Easy on‑site commissioning without interfering with original port handling workflows.
• Dual‑camera cooperative capture avoids missed detection caused by large‑vehicle occlusion, backlight and sea‑surface strong reflection for higher counting accuracy.
• Core Software Functions

1. AI automatic vehicle counting: Identify passing trucks automatically, count inbound & outbound vehicles and distinguish travel directions.
2. Dual‑direction snapshot archiving: Capture front‑and‑rear photos for each passing truck, bound with timestamp, travel direction and serial number for traceable checking.
3. Cloud management platform: Real‑time traffic view on PC and mobile terminals, auto‑generated transport reports with data export support.
4. Abnormity log: Record abnormal passing events for port manager review.

On‑site Application Effect

After deployment, trucks trigger counting and snapshot automatically when passing the detection point.

Manual on‑site registration is completely replaced. The system solves equipment corrosion risk and manual counting errors under salt‑fog port environment. All vehicle records and snapshots are archived in cloud storage for traceability.

Without disrupting original port throughput, it realizes digital statistics for bulk‑cargo transport and provides reliable data support for port production scheduling and business reconciliation.

Customer Benefits

1. Cost reduction & efficiency improvement: Cut on‑site manual staffing and improve counting efficiency.
2. Reliable statistics: Dual‑camera design minimizes missed detections under backlight and vehicle occlusion scenarios.
3. Full traceability: Snapshot archives serve as visual evidence for reconciliation and problem investigation.
4. Remote management: Real‑time traffic data for remote production scheduling.
