Transforming Port Safety with Digital Twin and Video Analytics
Summary
A busy port wanted to keep workers safe and stop security problems before they happened. But their old systems were slow and missed important warnings.
INTECH built a digital twin with smart video tools. Now the port team can see what’s going on live, catch problems early, and act faster to keep everyone safe.
About the Client
The client runs one of the busiest ports in the world. Every day, they move tons of valuable cargo and keep thousands of workers and vehicles moving.
They knew safety and security had to improve to keep up with growing traffic and strict rules.
Client's Challenges: No Fast Way to Spot Danger
The port needed a better way to see what was happening in real time. Their old tools didn't give them a clear view of the whole port. When something went wrong, they didn't know fast enough to stop it.
They also needed a way to catch safety mistakes like missing helmets or people entering off-limits areas before someone got hurt.
Key Challenges:
Blind Spots
Couldn't see the whole port at once.
Slow Alerts
Didn't know about dangers until it was too late.
Unsafe Behavior
Missed signs like workers without PPE.
Security Risks
Couldn't track vehicles or spot intruders quickly.
Systems Not Talking
Old tools weren't connected, causing confusion.
Without a live, clear view, the port missed dangers and couldn't act fast to stop them.
INTECH created a live digital twin - a virtual map showing what's happening across the port in 3D. We added video tools with AI that watch for risks, like someone not wearing a helmet or vehicles going where they shouldn't.
When the system spots a problem, it sends an alert right away so the team can act fast. This helps keep workers safe and cargo secure.
Here are the key features:
Live View
-
Shows what's happening in the port as it happens.
Smart Alerts
-
Sends instant warnings about unsafe or suspicious actions.
3D Map
-
Lets teams see exactly where problems are.
AI Insights
-
Learns to spot dangers before they cause trouble.
Works with Old Systems
-
Connects with existing tools so it's easy to use.
Safety Tracking
-
Monitors PPE compliance and secure areas.
Implementation Process
First, we talked with the client's team to understand what dangers worried them most. We walked the port, mapped key areas, and planned how cameras and sensors could watch everything.
Next, we built the digital twin, connected it to video feeds, and trained the AI to look for problems. After testing to make sure it worked, we helped the port staff learn how to use it easily every day.
Here is how we did it:
Big Area
Had to cover a huge port with clear video feeds.
Accurate Maps
Made sure the 3D model matched the real port perfectly.
Training AI
Taught it what unsafe behavior looks like.
Smooth Setup
Installed everything without slowing port operations.
Team Training
Showed staff how to use alerts and maps to respond fast.
Business Impact
Right after going live, the port team saw big wins.
The impact of our solution includes:
The port became safer, more secure, and more efficient with live views and smart alerts.
