"These QR codes are incredibly convenient. Scanning tools has become effortless, significantly improving work efficiency..."
At the bulk cargo terminal's tool management center in Weifang Port Area of Shandong Port Bohai Bay Port, various operational tools and equipment are neatly arranged on shelves. How do workers quickly identify the right tools?
The solution lies in the implementation of QR code identification. To enhance management efficiency and achieve intelligent control, the Weifang Port Area equipment management center has equipped all tool racks with QR codes, granting each tool its unique "digital ID".
"These QR codes have revolutionized our workflow," said Sun Zhen, Duty Director of the Dispatch Office. "Previously, tool specifications and retirement criteria were ambiguous. Now, scanning the code immediately displays clear usage requirements and retirement standards. This not only improves distribution efficiency but also enhances our operational knowledge."
Each compact QR code contains comprehensive operational data. Through pre-uploaded information including basic descriptions, usage specifications, and retirement criteria, staff can instantly access critical details by scanning. This "scan-to-learn" system enables:
- Streamlined tool distribution
- Enhanced safety compliance
- Efficient knowledge transfer
- Real-time equipment tracking
As China's first "Smart Port" pilot designated by the Ministry of Transport, Shandong Port Bohai Bay Port continues to leverage technological innovation. The Weifang Port Area's tool management center spans 1,000 square meters, undergoing modernization from March to May 2023. Current achievements include:
- Six-category tool classification system
- Seven functional management zones
- Full QR code implementation across 100+ tools
This digital transformation represents a crucial step in:
- Precision management enhancement
- Professional capability building
- Operational cost optimization
The QR code system serves as the foundation for information-driven port management. Moving forward, Weifang Port Area will further advance through:
- Refined process optimization
- Specialized operation standards
- Data-informed decision making
This technological evolution contributes to building greener, smarter port operations while supporting high-quality development in China's maritime logistics sector.
