Container weight automatic comparison saves 9000 hours compared to November before

Recently, in the inspection area of Huangdao Customs under Qingdao Customs, trucks loaded with containers drove onto weighing scales one by one. In just 30 seconds, the weight automatic comparison system completed the weighing inspection of import and export cargo containers.

Previously, weighing was done manually on the weighing scale, with manual recording and a dedicated person passing on a paper weighing list. Customs officers then manually calculated and verified the weight on the weighing list against the declared weight, and it took about 10 minutes to weigh it at once. "Mu Mengmeng, deputy manager of the inspection center at Qingdao Port International Logistics Co., Ltd., deeply felt the changes." Now, the weighing procedures for a vehicle can be completed in 30 seconds, greatly improving the efficiency of inspection operations. We have also saved time and manpower along with this

Weighing vehicles loaded with containers on a weighbridge is an important means for customs to verify whether the actual weight of imported and exported goods matches the declared value, and it is also an important way to prevent the risk of false reporting in imports and exports. How to resolve the contradiction between strict supervision and fast customs clearance?

In response to the inspection and weighing operations, Huangdao Customs has empowered supervision and efficiency with technological innovation, developed and launched an automatic container weight comparison system, and connected the backend system through intelligent transformation of weighing scales, installation of recording and recognition equipment, etc., to achieve intelligent recognition of container and vehicle information. Through this system, weight data can be automatically transmitted and compared online, and the final conclusion can be automatically filled in, reducing the average weighing time of a single box by 5-10 minutes and effectively improving the efficiency and standardization of inspection operations.

Since the system was launched, we have continuously optimized the system identification and comparison algorithm, integrated system data with AI technology, assisted in rapid risk assessment, and further improved inspection quality and efficiency. ”Yang Longchao, Deputy Director of the Inspection Department of Huangdao Customs, introduced that "the system has fully covered the inspection areas of the South and North ports of Qingdao Qianwan Port and the automated terminal inspection area. In the first 11 months of this year, nearly 56000 boxes have been weighed, with a recognition accuracy rate of 100%, reducing weighing time by nearly 9000 hours
