Abstract

This paper proposes the design scheme of Integration Management and Control System (IMCS) using the integration and optimization design theory of port cranes’ management and control system based on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Process Control System (PCS). The functions, interface and software design of the three sub-modules of IMCS are presented. Outcomes of this research are being employed to practical port cranes’ operation and management, which eliminates the island phenomenon of cranes’ storage and application conditions between the management and control department. Hence, IMCS makes the integrated automatic port cranes system come true and it significantly improves the core competitiveness of the port.

Summary

Introduction

With the standardization and modernization of logistics, ports play an increasingly important role in the international logistics service. In this situation, ports’ operation efficiency is greatly challenged, which emphasizes the importance to manage and control the port equipment efficiently. Port cranes’ IMCS refers to using the advanced technology of computer, automatic control, network communication, database and logistics to integrate the crane operation process, storage yard management process and logistic park service with the methods of data analysis, data mining and information integration to integrate the resources of capital flow, information flow and logistics, and realizes the unified management and control of the resources. The successful application of IMCS will improve the integrated automation level of the entire port system and provide the basis for management review and decision [1]
