Visual AI for the Logistics Industry
Smarter processes, faster tracking, and safer operations with camera-based automation.
The Challenges Faced in Modern Logistics
Modern logistics hubs face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, traceability, and safety. Manual processes often lead to delays, missed documentation, and avoidable damage or theft in daily operations.
Manual Vehicle and Cargo Tracking
Tracking incoming and outgoing trucks, containers, or wagons manually leads to human errors, delays, and incomplete documentation — impacting inventory accuracy and customer satisfaction.
Unnoticed Damage or Theft
Damages to trucks, containers, or goods often go unnoticed during entry and exit. Diesel theft and vandalism cause operational disruptions and loss if not detected in real time.
Inefficient Yard and Parking Management
Unauthorized parking, idle vehicles, and blocked loading zones slow down logistics flows. Manual checks are insufficient to manage large parking areas or multiple loading points efficiently.
Streamlining security with AI Object Detection
airis:net enables logistics hubs to turn existing surveillance cameras into intelligent systems using Visual AI. Real-time detection, documentation, and alerts help streamline operations and reduce costs.
Intelligent Vehicle and Cargo Identification
airis:net reads license plates, company logos, container IDs, wagon numbers, and IMO signs for dangerous goods — enabling seamless documentation of vehicle and cargo movement.
Automated Fence Line Monitoring
Visual AI captures and compares vehicle condition at entry and exit points. Damage, missing parts, or vandalism are automatically detected and stored with time-stamped visual evidence.
Automated Monitoring and Alerts
Parking violations, fuel theft, and collisions are instantly detected. Real-time alerts allow security teams to respond quickly, while all events are archived with full image or video proof.
Benefits of using airis:net in logistics
End-to-End Transparency
Track every vehicle, container, and pallet from entry to departure. Automated visual logs ensure traceability and eliminate gaps in your logistics documentation.
Real-Time Decision Making
From parking alerts to damage detection, airis:net provides actionable insights immediately, helping your teams respond faster and minimize costly disruptions.
Seamless ERP Integration
Automatically feed container IDs, pallet barcodes, and vehicle data into your ERP or WMS systems — reducing manual input and ensuring data accuracy.
Higher Security and Accountability
Visual logs of diesel theft, vandalism, and equipment misuse ensure accountability, reduce losses, and simplify insurance claims or investigations.
AI-Driven Transformation in Logistics
Unlocking Efficiency with Visual AI in Logistics
1. Truck and Container Identification
Solution: airis:net identifies number plates, brand logos, and container or wagon IDs automatically upon arrival and departure.
Result: Faster gate processing, reduced errors, and complete records of all incoming and outgoing units.
2. Condition Monitoring at Entry/Exit
Challenge: Damage to vehicles or goods often goes unnoticed or is disputed without visual proof.
Solution: Cameras record trucks at gates. AI compares vehicle condition before and after loading, highlighting dents, scratches, or broken parts.
Result: Visual evidence for claims, reduced disputes, and greater control over logistics handovers.
3. Wagon and Dangerous Goods Detection
Challenge: Manual checks for container IDs or dangerous goods symbols (IMO) are slow and not scalable across large yards.
Solution: Visual AI reads IDs and scans for IMO labels in real time, logging everything in a structured database.
Result: Compliance assurance, improved documentation, and streamlined railway or container terminal processes.
4. Parking Management and Zone Control
Challenge: Unauthorized parking blocks loading bays, delays deliveries, and creates operational chaos.
Solution: airis:net detects parked trucks and cars in prohibited areas, instantly alerting security or dispatch teams.
Result: Improved yard utilization, faster logistics flow, and reduced operational bottlenecks.
5. Collision and Damage Detection
Challenge: Forklifts and trucks occasionally collide with infrastructure or other vehicles, causing costly damages that go unnoticed.
Solution: AI monitors site activity, detects collisions, and identifies vehicles or staff involved via license plates or clothing.
Result: Immediate incident awareness, easier reporting, and accountability for internal or external damages.
6. Diesel Theft and Vandalism Alerts
Challenge: Fuel theft and vandalism often happen during idle times and go unreported.
Solution: airis:net detects unusual activity near fuel tanks, captures suspicious behavior, and sends real-time alerts with images.
Result: Prevents theft, reduces loss, and ensures 24/7 protection of valuable assets.
7. Barcode and QR Code Scanning on Pallets
Challenge: Manually scanning pallets while loading or unloading slows down workflows and leads to ERP data mismatches.
Solution: airis:net uses cameras to read barcodes and QR codes on pallets while in motion — even on forklifts.
Result: Seamless inventory logging, real-time ERP updates, and zero manual entry errors.
8. Loading Dock Utilization Monitoring
Challenge: Docks are often underused or blocked, causing delivery delays and driver idle time.
Solution: airis:net tracks dock occupancy and loading activity in real time, enabling smarter dispatching and scheduling.
Result: Increases efficiency and throughput per loading bay.
9. Forklift Safety Monitoring
Challenge: Unsafe driving or improper cargo handling leads to accidents or product damage.
Solution: AI monitors forklift routes, detects speeding or abrupt movements, and identifies improper stacking or collisions.
Result: Promotes safe handling, lowers accident rates, and supports training efforts.
10. Night-Time Operations with Thermal Detection
Challenge: Visibility drops after dark, increasing risk of missed events or unsafe behavior.
Solution: airis:net integrates thermal imaging and low-light AI models to ensure continuous monitoring day and night.
Result: Enhanced nighttime security and reduced risk in around-the-clock logistics.
