Empowering Maritime Public Welfare with Technology: Safeguarding Lives and Hope Through Core Components

Maritime rescue operations and island supply missions rely heavily on reliable ship automation technology. Through years of involvement in maritime public welfare initiatives, we observed common challenges in traditional public welfare vessels: outdated equipment, cumbersome operation, and insufficient endurance. Some rescue vessels responded sluggishly in rough seas due to obsolete control systems, while supply ships struggled to reach remote islands precisely because of inefficient propulsion systems. As a professional automation component supplier, we decided to leverage our core technological strengths. Using reliable PLCs, VFDs, and other components alongside tailored technical solutions, we aim to safeguard maritime public welfare, ensuring goodwill is efficiently delivered across the seas.

In 2015, we established a dedicated technical team. Leveraging the stable control performance of Siemens and Schneider PLCs, we developed the “Maritime Public Welfare Vessel Automation Upgrade Solution” tailored to maritime navigation scenarios, offering complimentary automation retrofitting services for rescue vessels and island supply ships. The core of the upgrade lies in installing our high-performance PLC controllers, efficient VFD drives, and intuitive HMI operation screens. This achieves intelligent coordination between the vessel's propulsion and navigation systems: PLCs precisely control power output to enhance stability in rough seas; VFD technology reduces fuel consumption and extends range, enabling supply vessels to reach more remote islands; The HMI interface simplifies operational workflows, enabling public service personnel to quickly master equipment controls. Addressing emergency needs, the solution incorporates self-diagnostic capabilities. Should component anomalies occur, the system triggers real-time alerts with troubleshooting guidance. Issues that previously required hours of investigation by technicians can now be pinpointed within minutes, significantly enhancing vessel safety.

In 2016, we completed automation upgrades for five rescue vessels in a South China Sea public welfare fleet. During a typhoon season rescue operation, these upgraded vessels precisely navigated rough seas using stable PLC control systems, successfully rescuing 12 stranded fishermen. To date, we have completed automation upgrades for over 30 public service vessels nationwide, spanning maritime rescue, island education support, and marine environmental protection. This initiative positions reliable industrial components as the “safety backbone” for maritime public welfare.
