With the increase of labor costs,enlargement of container ships and automation of the handling equipment,and to meet the need of high efficiency,intelligence,safety and green development,we comb the key technology of hardware and software of the container system based on the strategy of process standardization,visualization,material integration,collaboration and intelligent cloud,and design the intelligent system architecture,function and process flow of the target terminal.By sorting out the interaction among subsystems,the practical problem of considering only the impact of each subsystem on the operation of the terminal is avoided.This study aims to solve the problem of decoupling operation of terminal subsystems,and may guide the construction of the container intelligent terminal system.
