World's No. 1 in autonomous port vehicles — 1,000+ deployed
Physical-AI platform for heavy-truck operations: autonomous port tractors and heavy trucks, a cloud production system and fleet operations, proven at Ningbo, Qingdao and other major Chinese ports and now expanding to rail yards, steel works, border crossings and open-road shuttle routes.
Senior Automation operates the world's largest fleet of autonomous vehicles in container and bulk-cargo ports. Its platform closes the loop between the edge agent on the truck, a cloud-based production system, commercial operations, the physical data collected in real work and model iteration. From ports it is replicating the same system into railway yards, steel and metallurgy plants, cross-border ports, short-haul open-road transport, factory campuses and sanitation — more than 1,000 unmanned transport robots and vehicles are already in service.
01Products and solutions
Autonomous port horizontal-transport system
Driverless container tractors and the cloud dispatch and production system that runs them — in service at Ningbo Port, Qingdao Port, Hainan Yangpu, the Yongjin line, Puzhai border crossing, Xiamen Port, Qingdao Xilian and Dongfang Special Steel.
Autonomous bulk-cargo, break-bulk and ro-ro operations
Full-process automation for dry bulk, paper-pulp break-bulk and international ro-ro passenger-cargo terminals, delivered jointly with Bohai Bay Port, Qingdao Port and Weihai Port.
Heavy-truck autonomy for closed and semi-open sites
The port system replicated to railway yards, steel and metallurgy plants, cross-border checkpoints, open-road short shuttles, factory parks and sanitation fleets.
Heavy-truck world foundation model and data services
A proprietary heavy-truck foundation model trained on petabytes of real production data, available as the basis of joint development.
02Key strengths
Number one market share in port autonomous driving, co-building industry benchmarks with leading ports for three consecutive years.
Replicating from ports — a market worth tens of billions of renminbi — into China's heavy-truck logistics market: about 8.6 million heavy trucks and a road-freight market of five to seven trillion renminbi, of which roughly 300,000 trucks run on short, fixed urban routes.
Participates in standard-setting: co-drafted the current group standard for port autonomous horizontal-transport systems with the Ministry of Transport's Waterborne Transport Research Institute, Shandong Port, COSCO Shipping Ports, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, China Mobile and Alibaba; founder He Bei sits on the national intelligent-transport standards committee (TC268/SC1).
Data flywheel plus commercial flywheel: petabytes of multimodal heavy-truck data from real production validate the technology base and feed a proprietary heavy-truck world model.
