Chapter 26 25. Packing the sails - the king of the grab transport revolution

Bao Qifan, male, Han nationality, from Zhenhai City, Zhejiang Province, a member of the Communist Party of China. Born in 1951, currently serves as Vice President of Shanghai International Port (Group) Co., Ltd.A famous national model worker, a winner of the "May 1st" Labor Medal, an outstanding scientific and technological expert and senior engineer who enjoys special national allowances and has made outstanding contributions. Bao Qifan has devoted himself to the invention and creation of port loading and unloading tools for more than 20 years, and has developed more than 140 types of new grab series, which are widely used in ports, railways, chemical industry, military industry, rivers and other industries, and have been held in Geneva, Brussels and other international invention exhibitions for many times At the meeting, he won gold and silver awards, and 9 achievements including the "leakage-proof bulk cargo grab" were awarded national patents, known as the "grab king", and were listed in the "International Intellectuals" by the International Biography Center of the United Kingdom and the United States. "Who's Who" and the 21st Century Gold Achievement Award.

At the age of 18, Bao Qifan entered Shanghai Port as a stevedore and embarked on a bumpy road of invention and creation.In order to realize the dream of loading and unloading timber with a grab bucket, Bao Qifan devoured the basic knowledge of physics and mathematics, and worked hard to study business. His life was concentrated in the theory and calculation of lifting, mechanics, mechanical and structural design, and his mind was floating. Various data, principles and ideas.After countless days and nights of hard work, experiencing failures, hardships and tribulations, Bao Qifan and his colleagues finally created the "timber grab".This innovation has filled a gap in international port handling tools, ended the history of manual loading and unloading of wood in my country's port terminals, guaranteed the safety of workers, and improved labor efficiency.

After that, Bao Qifan set his sights on a wider field.He opened up my country's first domestic trade standard container route, and his innovative measures triggered a major change in my country's domestic trade water transport technology, becoming a pioneer recognized by the industry. In 2001, he presided over the "Container Intelligent Management Technology Research" in Shanghai Port, and for the first time proposed the use of intelligent fuzzy technology to realize the automatic scheduling of container terminal machinery and the stacking of container yards. Digitalization and intelligence are used to enhance the core competitiveness of the port. In 2004, this achievement won the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award. In 2003, he presided over the "Research on Construction Integration and Innovative Technology of Modern Container Terminals", and proposed innovative concepts such as using virtual technology to establish terminal simulation models and new container port area functional cross-sectional layout models. In 2006, this achievement was once again awarded the National Science and Technology Progress second prize. In 2004, he presided over the project research of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission "Modern Container Logistics and Equipment Integration Technology Research and Application Demonstration" and the national "863" plan sub-project "Container Electronic Label System Research", and built my country's first container automation unmanned The yard opened the world's first commercially operated container liner demonstration route with container electronic tags, which was praised by foreign experts as "a revolution that changed the mode of human transportation".

His innovative performance has been fully affirmed by domestic and foreign counterparts. In May 2006, at the 95th Paris International Invention Fair, he won four gold medals at a time, becoming the person who won the most awards at the exhibition in 105 years. Over the past 20 years, he and his colleagues have completed more than 120 technological innovation projects. For a long time, he has donated all the national, provincial, ministerial and bureau-level bonuses and State Council expert allowances he obtained for his inventions and innovations to the disabled and needy employees of the enterprise.He has adhered to this rule for 25 years. In 2005, he won the first prize of the National Employee Technological Innovation Award, with a bonus of 200,000 yuan, 180,000 points were given to colleagues, and 20,000 points were given to two old employees who were paralyzed at home.Bao Qifan is a representative of the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In 1997, he was awarded the National Outstanding Communist Party Member. Model title, won the National May 1st Labor Medal twice in 1986 and 2004.
