Let's Create a 'Digital Twin-Based Smart Port' at Busan Port
Busan Port Authority, Busan Institute of Industrial Science and Innovation, and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Agreement
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Port Authority (BPA) signed a joint research business agreement on the 8th with Busan Institute of Industrial Science and Innovation and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering for the ‘Development of Digital Twin-based Smart Port-Ship Interconnection Service and Platform.’
This business agreement aims to establish an introduction strategy through joint investigation and analysis of overseas advanced cases by the private sector, government, and research institutes to respond to autonomous ships and smart automated ports, which are becoming a reality due to technological advancements such as the 4th Industrial Revolution, and to develop a maritime, shipbuilding, and port ONE platform incorporating digital twin technology.
Digital twin is a technology that creates an identical object in virtual space to the real one and implements optimization-based simulation. It improves equipment productivity and facility operation efficiency, predicts various situations to prevent accidents in advance, and maximizes safety. Currently, technology adoption is actively progressing centered on the Port of Rotterdam in Europe.
The joint planning research will be conducted over six months. It will review the applicability and utilization methods of digital twin technology in three areas: smart ship operation and management, smart port operation and cargo handling equipment management, and container condition monitoring, and establish future development directions and detailed plans to propose national R&D commercialization.
