[0034] Example 1

[0035] A port tally business management system, including a ship management module, a tally management module, a document management module and a billing management module;

[0036] The ship management module is used to obtain basic ship information, ship structure information and ship plan information, synchronize the basic ship information, ship structure information and ship plan information, and maintain the basic ship information and ship structure information;

[0037] The tally management module is used to obtain the manifest and monitor the tally operation; the manifest is imported into the tally management module, and the tally management module verifies the manifest data; the tally management module monitors the data and progress status of the tally process;

[0038] The document management module is used to generate tally documents and manage and query the documents;

[0039] The billing management module is used to count billing items, manage customer information and rates, and generate settlement bills.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0041] The tally business system receives the ship plan pushed by the intelligent tally system through the system interface, and obtains the ship information and ship structure information through the interface. The basic ship information includes ship name, ship registration, ship type, deadweight tonnage, etc.; ship structure information includes cabin layout, number of deck layers, cargo hold capacity, etc.; ship plan information includes estimated arrival time, departure time, berth, etc.

[0042] Tally management is the operation management of tallying business by tallying staff. The tally clerk first obtains the manifest document before the ship berths and imports the manifest data as required; then monitors the tallying operation. After the tallying operation is completed, the system automatically generates tallying documents. Finally, the tallying staff confirms the documents and prints them out, and gives them to relevant personnel for signature and confirmation. The manifest can be obtained from shipping companies, freight forwarding companies and other channels. Tally operation monitoring can include real-time video monitoring, operator location tracking, etc. to ensure the accuracy and safety of the tallying process.

[0043] After the tallying operation is completed, the tallying staff needs to generate tallying documents and print them out for relevant personnel to confirm, such as cargo list, tallying report, handover sheet, etc. The management of documents can include archiving, classification, retrieval and other functions, and the query function can support query by date, ship, cargo and other conditions.

[0044] The billing management module is used to manage tally fees, etc. Customer information management may include customer name, contact information, credit rating, etc. Rate management can be dynamically adjusted according to market conditions and customer types.

[0045] The ship management module manages and maintains basic ship information, structural information and planning information by collecting information. The tally management module verifies data after obtaining the manifest and monitors the tally operation. The document management module generates tally documents based on the tally results and manages and queries them. The billing management module counts billing items based on tally business, manages customer information and rates, and generates settlement bills.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the ship management module, tally management module, document management module and billing management module are microservice modules; the ship management module, tally management module, document management module and billing management module register the service address to etcd.

[0048] The ship management module, tally management module, document management module and billing management module are developed and deployed as independent microservices, and unified entry management is performed through the gateway to achieve access control and load balancing of each microservice.

[0049] When the ship management module, tally management module, document management module and billing management module are started, the service address, port and other information are registered in etcd using the etcd client library. When a microservice module needs to call another microservice module, the address information of the target service is obtained by querying etcd, and then communication is carried out. The scalability and flexibility of the business system are improved by adopting a microservice architecture. Each module is independently developed, deployed and upgraded without affecting the operation of other modules. etcd is used for service registration and discovery, which improves the communication efficiency between microservice modules, prevents the accumulation of business system data and the decrease in response speed after multiple upgrades, and improves the reliability of the system.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the ship management module, tally management module, document management module and billing management module respectively set up gRPC service interfaces; the ship management module, tally management module, document management module and billing management module define gRPC service interfaces and message types through Protocol Buffers.

[0053] The service interface of the ship management module includes obtaining ship information, updating ship plans, querying ship voyage status, etc. The service interface of the tally management module includes uploading manifests, querying tally progress, monitoring tally operations, etc. The service interface of the document management module includes generating tally documents, querying document status, managing document archives, etc. The service interface of the billing management module includes statistical billing items, querying customer fees, managing rates, etc. Each microservice module communicates through the gRPC service interface and uses the message type defined by Protocol Buffers for data transmission. The client initiates a request, the server processes the request and returns a response, realizing data transmission and interaction between modules, and realizing efficient cross-module communication. The high performance and bidirectional flow characteristics of gRPC make the interaction between modules faster and more reliable.

[0054] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] This embodiment is different from Embodiment 3 in that the synchronization of basic ship information, ship structure information and ship plan information includes the following steps:

[0057] Obtain basic ship information, ship structure information and ship plan information of the ship;

[0058] Store basic ship information, ship structure information and ship plan information into the ship management module;

[0059] The ship management module synchronizes basic ship information, ship structure information and ship plan information.

[0060] After obtaining ship information from different channels, it is stored in the database of the ship management module. Through the information synchronization mechanism, the basic information, structural information and planning information of the ship are synchronized regularly or in real time to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the data.

[0061] The basic information of the ship, the ship structure information and the ship plan information are obtained and stored in the database of the ship management module. Relational databases (such as MySQL) or distributed storage systems (such as HBase) can be used for storage to ensure the security and reliability of the data. Information synchronization can be performed automatically at regular intervals (such as every hour) in the form of scheduled tasks. Information synchronization can also be triggered in real time through message queues and other methods when the ship information changes. Ship information can be obtained through multiple channels to improve information integrity and accuracy, and provide a reliable basis for subsequent business decisions.

[0062] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0063] Example 5

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that the information maintenance of the basic information of the ship and the ship structure includes regular updating of the ship information and the ship structure information. The information maintenance process is started according to the set cycle and trigger conditions. Through data collection, verification and updating, it is ensured that the ship information and structure information are always kept up to date, providing accurate basic data for the smooth operation of port business, reducing the error rate of manual operation, and improving the efficiency and quality of information maintenance.

[0065] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0066] Example 6

[0067] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 5 is that the ship management module also provides ship planning and voyage status query for basic ship information. The ship planning and voyage status query function for basic ship information can be accessed through a web interface or a mobile application.

[0068] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0069] Example 7

[0070] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 6 is that the manifest is imported into the tally management module, and the tally management module verifies the manifest data, including the following steps:

[0071] Obtain the bill of lading information, cargo information and container information of the manifest;

[0072] Enter the bill of lading information, cargo information, and container information into the system respectively to generate manifest information.

[0073] The manifest information is processed with empty container net weight, container size verification, original manifest comparison, port number and ship chart manifest verification.

[0074] First, obtain the bill of lading information, cargo information and container information of the manifest, and then clean and convert the data according to different sources. Next, enter the bill of lading information, cargo information and container information into the system to generate the manifest information. Perform a series of checks on the manifest information, including empty container net weight processing, container size verification, original manifest comparison, port number and ship chart manifest verification, etc. For domestic trade manifests, the export declaration data is obtained by connecting with the terminal production operation system for maintenance, and the foreign trade manifest is maintained by connecting with the electronic port platform to obtain data, which realizes the connection with the terminal production operation system and the electronic port platform, realizes automatic data acquisition and update, improves work efficiency, and reduces the risk of manual entry errors.

[0075] The specific verification contents include: ship name, voyage, container number, seal number, container owner, container type, container category, container subcategory, status (E / F), operator, carrier, empty container weight, weight, dangerous goods mark (such as: 3.3), temperature, temperature unit, bill of lading number, loading port, unloading port, unloading port mark, destination port, seal, pre-assigned bay number, actual bay number and actual production operation data, etc. It can also generate the corresponding stowage plan and bay map.

[0076] For domestic trade manifests, the export declaration data can be obtained into the system by connecting with the terminal production operation system to realize the maintenance of export manifests.

[0077] For foreign trade manifests, the export declaration data can be obtained into the system by connecting with the electronic port platform data to realize the maintenance of export manifests.

[0078] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0079] Example 8

[0080] This embodiment is different from Embodiment 7 in that the tallying management module monitors the data and progress status of the tallying process, including the following steps:

[0081] Obtain vessel voyages, manifests and tally results;

[0082] During the tallying process, the manifest data will be compared; after the manifest processing is completed, the tallying results will be re-compared with the manifest data;

[0083] Match the tally result with the ship voyage to obtain the matching result of the tally result and the ship voyage; if the tally result and the ship voyage are matched incorrectly, re-obtain the tally result and match them with the ship voyage.

[0084] First, obtain information such as the ship's voyage, manifest, and tally results. During the tallying process, constantly compare the manifest data with the actual tally data. After the manifest processing is completed, the tally results are compared with the manifest data again. Then match the tally results with the ship's voyage. If the match is wrong, re-obtain the tally results for matching until the match is correct.

[0085] When obtaining the ship voyage, manifest and tally results, the accuracy and timeliness of the data are ensured through real-time data collection equipment and sensors, such as RFID tag readers, weight sensors, etc. During the tallying process, the manifest data is compared with the real-time collected data to find and process the differences in time. After the manifest processing is completed, the tally results are compared with the manifest data again to ensure data consistency. For the matching of tally results and ship voyages, key information such as ship identification code and voyage number are used for accurate matching. If matching errors are found, adjustments and re-matching are made in time.

[0086] When the tally result and the ship voyage are incorrectly matched, the system can automatically issue an alarm to notify relevant personnel to handle it. At the same time, an error log record is established for subsequent analysis and improvement. For situations where automatic matching is not possible, a manual intervention interface can be provided to allow operators to manually adjust the matching results.

[0087] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0088] Example 9

[0089] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 8 is that the tally management module further includes a quay crane operation query function for querying the current operation status of the quay crane. When querying the current operation status of the quay crane, the corresponding quay crane operation status can be queried according to the ship code, name, and quay crane number.

[0090] In summary, the present invention realizes the integrated management of port tallying business by setting up ship management, tallying management, document management and billing management. The ship management module can accurately obtain and maintain ship information and plans, providing a reliable basis for tallying operations. The tallying management module ensures the accuracy and safety of the tallying process by checking the manifest data and monitoring the tallying operation. The document management module facilitates the delivery and settlement of goods, and improves the transparency and traceability of business processes.
