Optimized Logistics & Container Loading

Logistics API for Optimized Container Loading

See every step of loading, from the warehouse floor to the sealed container.

Loading is the part of the shipping chain where things go wrong most often. It is also the hardest part to manage. A careless move can hurt a worker or damage goods. Nobody can watch every loading dock all day. And when cargo arrives damaged, no one can say which step caused it.

We put cameras over the work area. Then we build a system that understands the loading steps. It does more than check whether someone is standing there. It compares each step with your standard procedure, the set way the work should be done. It marks where the work went off-standard, with a time stamp you can replay. It also adds up how long each step takes. So the numbers show the real bottleneck, the step that slows everything down. Buyers can get video and data updates before the container is closed and sealed.

The result: unsafe moves are flagged when they happen. Delays are traced to a specific step. Damage disputes can be settled by replaying the footage. The same method has run at an offshore warehouse in a free-trade zone. It has also run at a port authority in South China.

  • Understands the loading steps

    It recognizes the key actions and stages of loading. It does not just look for people in the picture.

  • Checks work against your procedure

    Each step is compared with your standard procedure. Off-standard steps are marked with a time stamp. You can replay them later.

  • Finds the slow step

    Time and errors are added up for each step. So data, not guesswork, shows where the bottleneck is.

  • Multi-camera, one timeline

    All cameras are calibrated (set up to line up with each other) and their clocks are synced. So every angle shows the same moment.

  • Updates for the buyer

    Video and data on the loading can be shared with the buyer before the container is sealed.

  • Works with your records

    Loading data can be linked with records you already keep, such as spreadsheets and databases.

  • Tracks actions, not identities

    By default, there is no face recognition. There is no database of staff identities either. A site may need to link events to named staff. If so, the site keeps that part and its legal duties.

  • Run on real sites

    It has been put into use at an offshore free-trade-zone warehouse. It has also been used at a port authority in South China. It is not only a demo.

  • Helps with training too

    New workers can see their own steps compared with the standard. This is faster than teaching by talking.

  • Fits other sites with set procedures

    The same method fits bonded warehouses (where goods wait before import tax is paid), distribution centres, factory floors and building sites. It fits anywhere with a standard procedure that today only a person can watch.
