Port Safety with Digital Twin and Video Analytics

A major port operator partnered with INTECH to build a live digital twin powered by video analytics, replacing fragmented camera monitoring with unified real-time awareness. This mirrored the entire terminal in 3D, spotting safety violations and security threats instantly to prevent incidents before they escalate.

Client Overview

Global Port Operator Streamlining Safety Monitoring

  • Client

    Large port and logistics terminals handling thousands of daily containers worldwide

  • Industry

    High-volume cargo transit with trucks, cranes, and workers sharing intense 24/7 spaces

  • Core Offering

    Time-critical operations requiring real-time safety oversight across expansive yards

  • Mandate

    Replace manual camera watching with integrated digital twin analytics for instant threat detection

Challenges We Overcome

Fragmented Monitoring Creating Safety Blind Spots

Security threats

Theft and unauthorized movements missed amid constant video feeds

Limited insights

Reactive recording without trend analysis or recurring issue identification

Safety hazards

PPE violations, zone intrusions, and suspended load risks unnoticed in real time

Delayed responses

Location confusion and manual coordination stretched incident resolution

Rear-view focus

Systems captured past events but couldn't predict or prevent future problems

Compliance gaps

Fragmented logs complicated audits and reporting requirements
