Maersk Innovation Center
Yard Computer Vision is an AI-powered solution for monitoring the movement of power units, containers and trailers at our facilities, creating a safer work environment and enabling our operators to focus on improving our yards even further.
When vehicles, containers and trailers move through our facility gate and yard, the operations team uses a Yard Management System (YMS) that means they have to be on hand to monitor the flow of traffic and ensure safety of drivers and pedestrians.
This is a challenging and often time-consuming task, exacerbated by operational layouts that were not designed to handle such volume. Often a vehicle is sent on an elongated route or has to move multiple assets to end up with the container they are meant to move. As a result, there are frequent delays, which impact overall productivity.
There had been previous attempts to improve the process with radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. However, the tags were found to be unreliable, which only increased our facilities’ operational costs and made managing the business more complex.
Understanding in detail what’s happened in the past to predict what’s likely to happen next is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal.
A Maersk video analytics solution translates live activity into data points that track and predict productivity and work cycles and rewards performance.
Remotely operated forklifts could be the answer to increased safety and working flexibility for Maersk warehouse workers.
