Recently, Alibaba, the global shipping giant, and Maersk, the global shipping giant, jointly entered the container shipping market, launching a logistics order through shipping company's order trading platform product, Cabin Treasure. The news broke and brought everyone's eyes back to the usual topic - "big data".
At present, the shipping industry is in the process of re-shuffling and re-assembling. The shipping market is facing the predicament of serious excess capacity and continuous low prices. Traditional means and methods have been unable to help shipping enterprises out of the predicament. Recently, Alibaba, the global shipping giant, and Maersk, the global shipping giant, jointly entered the container shipping market, launching a logistics order through shipping company's order trading platform product, Cabin Treasure. The news broke and brought everyone's eyes back to the usual topic - "big data".
The development of Internet brings people into a brand new era -- big data era. Although all these industries have talked about big data in recent years, they have made gratifying progress. However, as we all know, under the background of the deep integration of the whole society and the Internet, the process of "Internet + shipping" is lagging far behind other industries. The daily operation of the shipping industry and the upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain will produce massive data, and the shipping enterprises are the important ports to collect these data. What value can big data bring to us?
IBM put forward a famous concept a few years ago: "V 's of Big Data".
Data quantity
The shipping industry's data are small in scale and barely comparable to many other industries (financial or pharmaceutical). Shipping industry data is probably not big data in the age of big data.
Fast moving data
Once the data moves quickly, the conventional data processing methods often seem to be unable to handle, so it needs large data high-tech to deal with. However, it is almost unrealistic to use the current cost of satellite communication at once per second for offshore drilling rig data. The commonly used data exchange frequency is to connect to the satellite every 2 to 3 hours or a few minutes. This pragmatism greatly slows down the speed of maritime data movement, directly resulting in our data is currently unable to "small" and "slow" to "large" data.
All kinds of data
The diversity of data is obvious to all. Seafarers are required to use information or data such as weather and ocean forecasts, route and location, ship speed, fuel consumption, emissions, machine health and efficiency, cargo delivery, etc.
Reliability and quality of data
The reliability of data is a familiar topic. Like all other industries, ensuring and improving data quality is a persistent challenge.
visualization
This is a new opportunity. The graphical representation of data analysis results will greatly speed up the decision-making process, and ultimately this progress will contribute to the efficiency of ship and enterprise operations.
At present, the shipping industry is actively utilizing the advantages of large data technology in dealing with a variety of data, improving data reliability and visualization of data analysis results. The development of this new technology in the future may not be clear until the scale and speed of data in the shipping industry are improved.
Obviously, the shipping industry has been unable to avoid the coming tide of intelligent industrial revolution, and can not disconnect from the deep-seated docking and cooperation of information networks. Industry 4 brings efficient production to the market, and also brings development opportunities to all trades and professions. It involves not only the traditional Internet, but also the developing Internet of Things, which is an industrial revolution based on the integration of virtual and real. This is a boost to the shipping industry towards a comprehensive intelligent accelerated transformation and upgrading, through the use of cloud computing, large data, enhance the efficiency and level of shipping services, management, energy saving, operation.
In recent years, port cities have been striving to build regional shipping centers aimed at seizing core data and gaining voice in the Blue Sea economy. It can be said that whoever controls and makes good use of the "big data" will first break through the shipping fog and lead the industry in the future.
