Optimized Container Inspection With AI-Powered Damage Detection

We partnered with a global port operator to deploy an AI-powered damage detection system that transformed manual, time-consuming container inspections into a fully automated, real-time process.

Client Overview

Global Port Leader on a Mission to Digitize Inspections

  • Client

    Multinational port operator managing multiple strategic terminals

  • Industry

    Freight, cargo & supply chain management

  • Scale

    Millions of containers handled annually across global trade hubs

  • Mandate

    Transform container inspections from manual, resource-heavy processes into real-time, automated workflows that improve accuracy and scalability

Challenges We Overcome

Inspection Inefficiencies That Slowed Terminal Operations

Time-Consuming Manual Checks

Physical inspections created queues, slowing container flow.

High Resource Costs

24/7 staffing across inspection points inflated overheads.

Inconsistent Assessments

Human inspectors produced variable results, leading to disputes.

Scaling Limitations

Rising cargo volumes made hiring more staff the only (unsustainable) option.

Solutions
