As a response to the rapidly changing dynamics due to urbanisation and the surge of e-commerce, logistics businesses have been faced with the challenge of redefining their operations. The keys to success are optimising two crucial factors: cost per order and timely deliveries. Hikvision and Logistics Management Magazine jointly unveiled a new white paper, providing extensive insights into how artificial intelligence (AI) has been instrumental in transforming global logistics.
In today’s technologically driven world, AI has emerged as a powerhouse, revolutionising traditional industries, and logistics is no exception. The logistics industry is rapidly embracing AI, unlocking transformational benefits that extend from immediate efficiencies to long-term strategic advancements.
So, how exactly is AI reshaping the global logistics landscape?
Warehouse and Yard Optimisation
- Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) streamlines traffic management in logistic settings by providing rapid, algorithm-driven vehicle identification at entry and exit points.
- Smart Dock management systems harness real-time AI algorithms for quick coordination, reducing lag in loading and unloading, optimising workflow, and reducing errors.
- AI-driven facial recognition grants secure access control, bolsters site security, simplifies attendance tracking, and visitor management.
- Thermal imaging tech preemptively detects irregular temperature spikes to mitigate fire risks.
- Safety compliance for personnel protection is ensured through AI that automatically spots PPE violations.
Road Management Enhancements
- Real-time vehicle management system centralises essential data, offering robust insights for efficient fleet operations.
- The intelligent ADAS system shields drivers via advance warnings like collision alerts, lane departure signals, and more, reinforcing road safety.
- Varied automated sensors manage fuel and cargo integrity, helping negate risks in transport logistics.
Last-Mile Delivery Service Improvement
- Parcel tracking technology merges video security and barcode systems for seamless package monitoring, improving customer service and satisfaction.
The white paper is a must-read for logistics managers and companies aiming to revamp their operations and stay ahead in the competitive market.
