en.Wedoany.com Reported - Baowu Raw Materials' intelligent vessel scheduling model officially went live on June 22, 2026, marking a complete departure from traditional manual scheduling methods. Leveraging the computational power of AI large models, the company has entered a new development phase of intelligent decision-making, efficient analysis, and lean management in port scheduling.
For a long time, vessel scheduling relied on manual analysis combined with traditional spreadsheet tools, resulting in cumbersome processes, limited calculation dimensions, and constrained coordination efficiency. This was a core operational pain point in the scheduling of imported iron ore vessels for unloading at ports. The newly launched intelligent vessel scheduling model completely overturns traditional generation logic, breaking down data silos across port areas and deeply integrating an optimization solver and core AI large-model algorithms. Based on 16 categories of comprehensive business data, the intelligent model efficiently outputs optimal scheduling plans within minutes. In a full-scale test in June 2026, the model solved a scenario involving over 50 voyages, more than 20 ports, and over 8 million tons of ore in just 2 minutes and 43 seconds.
Alongside this launch, an AI-powered intelligent comparison function for scheduling versions has been developed, establishing a full-cycle scheduling review system to empower lean management. The system can compare data from different scheduling versions, automatically capturing all-dimensional differences such as vessel schedules, scheduling arrangements, berth usage, and logistics costs. Using AI intelligent analysis algorithms, it automatically generates professional analysis reports, precisely dissecting the core causes behind data changes and plan adjustments. This shifts the approach from "post-event manual review" to "AI-driven traceability" and "pre-event intelligent analysis," providing solid data support and decision-making foundations for optimizing port scheduling rules, long-term scheduling management, and proactive risk prevention.
Baowu Raw Materials is a specialized company under China Baowu Steel Group Corporation Limited, responsible for bulk raw material procurement and logistics. Moving forward, Baowu Raw Materials will progress from piloting at core ports, to deepening implementation across six major bases, and finally to group-level global optimization, gradually forming a replicable, scalable, and improvable intelligent scheduling system.
