ATLS- Automatic Truck Loading System for Chambroad

Chambroad Petrochemicals is a large private enterprise with petrochemicals as its main business, integrating oil refining and subsequent deep processing. Chemical industry has a wide variety of products with different forms, which puts forward higher requirements on the efficiency and safety of loading and unloading. In order to accelerate digital transformation and improve market response speed and operational capabilities, Chambroad cooperated with Weitong to carry out practical transformation of cargo loading to meet the trend of "intelligent unmanned".

The traditional manual loading method has the following disadvantages:

l  Low efficiency: The traditional loading method is difficult to meet the high demand for finished product shipment and loading under the 24-hour production system;

l  High labor cost: Chemical products, as bulk goods, require a lot of manpower in vehicle dispatching, loading operation, monitoring and other links, and the cost is high;

l  High safety hazards: When the finished chemical products are shipped out, the operators sometimes need to directly or indirectly contact harmful media and mechanical equipment, which poses a great safety hazard;

l  Vehicle adaptation: There are many types of vehicles for loading, and it is difficult to form a unified loading method, which is bound to affect the loading efficiency.

Project completion effect:

l  Efficiency and intelligence transformation: Through intelligent identification of vehicle types, loading strategies can be intelligently selected to achieve one-click switching between 18-stack and 20-stack pregrouping, which improves the flexibility and accuracy of loading and meets the company's workshop's 24-hour continuous loading and 150,000 tons/year loading needs.

l  Cost reduction and efficiency improvement: Through automated loading, the cost of personnel and equipment is reduced by 25%; the loading efficiency of more than 3 trucks/hour is achieved. In the case of pregrouping, the loading efficiency can even reach 4 to 6 minutes/truck, greatly shortening the loading time.

l  Safe and reliable operation: Fully automated operation avoids the safety hazards of manual loading and reduces the loading failure rate caused by human factors; at the same time, the system is equipped with multiple safety protection mechanisms to ensure safe and reliable equipment operation.

l  Flexible adaptation: ATLS can achieve the common use of containers, flatbed trucks, and low-fence trucks etc, improving the flexibility and adaptability of loading.

The in-depth cooperation with Chambroad Petrochemical is an important milestone for Weitong on the road of intelligent and automated development in the petrochemical industry. In the future, Weitong will continue to deepen its research in the field of intelligent loading and unloading, launch more innovative products and technologies, provide efficient, intelligent and safe automatic loading and unloading solutions for more industries, and help chemical companies achieve digital transformation and intelligent upgrading.
