The power behind the success of Wuhan East Lake Comprehensive Bonded Zone Smart Park project

[51CTO.com original article] With the rapid development and application of new technologies such as cloud computing, mobile Internet, and the Internet of Things, the pace of smart park construction is also accelerating. my country's industrial parks are transforming towards intelligence, innovation, and technology. In recent years, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have attached increasing importance to the construction and development of smart parks, and have issued a number of policies to promote the construction of smart parks. More and more parks of various types in China have devoted themselves to the construction of smart parks, and Wuhan East Lake Comprehensive Bonded Zone (hereinafter referred to as: Bonded Zone) is one of them.

On July 5, 2018, the IDC Asia Pacific Smart City Awards (SCAPA) announced the results of the selection. The Wuhan East Lake Comprehensive Free Trade Zone Smart Park project undertaken by FiberHome won the 2018 IDC Asia Pacific Smart City Award in the field of administration. Taking this opportunity, 51CTO reporters recently interviewed Bai Sixue, the project manager of FiberHome and Wuhan East Lake Comprehensive Free Trade Zone Smart Park.

What are the requirements for the bonded area smart park project? What are the characteristics of the bonded area smart park project? What kind of support does Fenghuo provide? What is Fenghuo's unique understanding of smart park construction? Now, let's take a look at the story behind the success of the bonded area smart park project.

Demand Analysis of Bonded Zone Smart Park Project

Wuhan East Lake Comprehensive Bonded Zone is the first comprehensive bonded zone in Hubei Province, which was officially approved by the State Council on August 29, 2011. It is a special customs supervision area that integrates the functions of bonded area, export processing zone, bonded logistics park and port. It is currently the comprehensive functional zone with the highest level of openness, the most preferential policies and the most complete functions in mainland China.

The reporter learned that the reason why the bonded area chose to cooperate with Fenghuo to build a smart park is mainly due to two reasons: the construction of a smart park in a comprehensive bonded area requires manufacturers with corresponding capabilities from hardware to platform to upper-level applications. Fenghuo, which has more than ten years of rich experience in the construction of smart cities and smart parks, just has this end-to-end integrated general contracting capability. In addition, from the perspective of the bidding plan, the integrated information resource utilization system and the park-specific application support system planned by Fenghuo for the East Lake Bonded Zone are also very consistent with the actual needs of the park's business development.

So, what kind of smart park does the bonded zone want to build? In this regard, Bai Sixue said that the comprehensive bonded zone hopes to solve many problems in park management services, such as: information islands, human intervention, heavy workload, delayed response, extensive management, data confusion, etc.; it hopes to build a public information platform to achieve information sharing and circulation; it hopes to make breakthroughs in operation support and operation management while focusing on the construction and management of the park...

Taking into account the above needs of the bonded area, Fenghuo relies on its own years of accumulation in the construction of smart parks, combines the domestic smart park construction and development concepts, and based on the independently developed IoT smart park management system FitI-BOM, gives full play to its networking and container characteristics, expands the park's characteristic applications, and helps the park to build a unified organizational management and coordination framework, business management platform and external service platform in terms of information construction, providing innovative management and operation services for park managers and enterprises.

In the construction of bonded area projects, Fenghuo takes the ecological co-gathering industrial park as its development direction and the construction of the "Internet +" O2O smart park platform as its key measure, breaking the traditional park's restrictive model of focusing on the construction and management of the park itself, emphasizing the evolution from a single-function aggregation park to an ecological aggregation park, and strengthening the interaction between technology and people, the connection between the park and people, and the organic coordination between informatization and the park.

Analysis of Difficulties in Implementing Smart Park Projects

Looking back on the implementation process of the bonded zone smart park project, Bai Sixue believes: "The original old system of the comprehensive bonded zone needs to be connected with the new system. The interfaces and protocols of the old and new systems are complex. Therefore, it is very difficult to create a unified information resource utilization system."

It is particularly worth mentioning that the overall architecture of the bonded area smart park is divided into 47 subsystems (27 hardware/20 software), of which 14 new subsystems are independently developed by Fenghuo, and the remaining subsystems are in use and need to be connected to a unified management platform. In the overall design, it is necessary not only to consider the functional stability of each subsystem, but also to ensure the interconnection of the interfaces of each subsystem and solve the compatibility problems between different systems, which adds great difficulty to the construction of the information resource utilization system.

To solve this problem, Fenghuo has established a standard data specification system and unified naming rules for the park. All disciplines in the park adopt a unified naming rule, so that the equipment and asset models contain the corresponding subsystem fields, ensuring that the models can be quickly classified in the operation and maintenance platform. In addition, Fenghuo rationally allocates resources and dispatches personnel according to the design process, assigns dedicated personnel to connect equipment supply, commissioning, installation and delivery, and simultaneously coordinates the owner, construction agent, supervision, design, construction and various supplier resources to smoothly promote project construction.

Three major features of the bonded zone smart park project

Finally, through the joint efforts of both parties, the bonded zone smart park project was successfully implemented. The project realized the leading domestic information infrastructure, built an integrated information resource utilization system, and created an application support framework with park characteristics.

Leading information infrastructure in China. Based on BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology, the bonded area has effectively solved a series of complex problems in park management services by establishing a highly intensive intelligent building management system.

Among them, the bonded area plans the park's information infrastructure to meet the special needs of production, processing and warehousing in the park, installs IoT sensors in the park, supports remote meter reading, sewer manhole cover monitoring, groundwater level monitoring, meteorological monitoring and other functions, and realizes "one network linkage" of video monitoring, alarm, access control and electronic patrol through an integrated comprehensive supervision platform. The park combines technical defense, physical defense and human defense, and coordinates detection, delay and response, forming a complete set of information infrastructure system.

Integrated information resource utilization system. Ecological integration is the biggest highlight of the bonded area. Focusing on the construction goal of "building a public information platform", it realizes information sharing and circulation, provides intelligent services for the management committee, enterprises and the public, and allows all recipients to share a variety of services in the park with one click.

The bonded area has created a unified public information platform and public database, and through layered construction, it has built multiple basic networks to achieve the growth and expansion of platform capabilities and applications. In order to achieve the full integration of information resources, the park has adopted a three-pronged approach of "unified authentication", "unified data" and "unified messaging", formulated unified technical standards and interfaces, and realized the sharing of public basic data, geographic information data, construction data, etc., and achieved "one number and one source", completing cross-departmental and cross-field information sharing.

Application support framework with park characteristics. Traditional smart park construction focuses on park construction and management, but lacks investment in operational support and operation management. To address this issue, Fenghuo combines the positioning and special functional requirements of the bonded area, based on a deep understanding of the park's business, and uses information technology to fully improve the overall application support framework for bonded warehouses, customs supervision, logistics and transportation, exhibitions and other needs. For example, in response to the import and export trade needs of customs supervision, the application system supports "advanced zone, later customs declaration" and is connected to the "China Free Trade Zone Customs Supervision Information System" and other operating modes.

At the end of the interview, speaking of Fenghuo's unique advantages in the construction of smart parks, Bai Sixue said that Fenghuo's independently developed IoT smart park management system FitI-BOM uses IoT technology and combines positioning, 3D and BIM technology to achieve the ultimate visualization of park safety operations. All personnel, vehicles entering the park and equipment and facilities within the park can be accurately located, and their status can be grasped and presented in real time.

With its unique advantages and rich experience, FiberHome has currently undertaken a number of smart park construction projects, such as: Optics Valley Central City, Wuhan Future City, Wuhan Garden Expo Park, Provincial Party Committee Compound Security Project, Beijing Telecom IDC Park, Beijing China Building Materials R&D Center Park, Hubei China Tobacco Science and Technology Literature Center and other projects, all of which have been recognized and praised by customers.
