Dangerous Cargo Check

Problem

Dangerous cargo checks are compulsory, yet complex procedures that require special competence certified staff. The pressure of complexity leads to mistakes which, in turn, cause costly cargo delays and additional case-by-case investigations by the chain of command.

ACI solution

We’ve developed a solution that significantly accelerates dangerous good checks, covering the majority of mistakes that occur due to human distraction. Tech vision precisely captures data from papers and packages, while AI checks discrepancies and fills the checklist for operators.

Survey reports

Problem

Handling expensive, exclusive, or simply sensitive cargo requires top-notch service for clients and full visibility for warehouse operations. While CCTV cameras record the daily routine, businesses struggle to provide comprehensive reports on shipment condition upon arrival.

ACI solution

Each cargo scan by ACI yields data and pictures. In seconds a PDF report is generated for each separate pallet that crosses the dock area and the data flows directly to a WMS. Thus, data is ready for internal use as well as for sharing with clients or partners in the form of a report.

Cargo damage recognition

Problem

Cargo damages happen occasionally, but they are always a problem for warehouses. On one hand, damages require a comprehensive report: it takes a lot of time. On the other hand, when damages are missed, it’s hard to get evidence to prove they occurred before shipment arrival.

ACI solution

Our solution detects damages and generates PDF reports in seconds. The AI damage recognition model covers all prevailing issues in cargo handling and learns from new cases. PDF reports bring necessary evidence for any stakeholders involved in the investigation.

Dimensioning and Stackability

Problem

Billing for transportation and handling services directly depends on cargo dimensions and package type. However, only a fraction of companies check dimensions and stackability, let alone collecting other data. Instead, they rely on data provided by clients or partners.

ACI solution

ACI dimensioning is the best in class due to AI & Computer vision used for capturing shape. ACI has no issues with black film or dust and requires no daily calibration. AI recognition goes beyond dimensions and tells a package type with a possibility to estimate stackability.

Box Counting

Problem

Accepting goods by pallets may be insufficient for 3PL logistics providers who are held responsible for each box and each item. Thus, box count, size and weight data are crucial metrics collected manually. Unfortunately, these operations are still human-coordinated.

ACI solution

Sophisticated multi-layer AI system counts boxes and visible items, estimates box sizes. It saves up to 60 % of inspection time for warehouse operators, leaves clear evidence for inbound cargo flow and goes further by estimating same-sized boxes dimensions and weight.

Reviews

Dalius Kamarauskas

INTRANS, Lithuania

Being crucial for each item, cargo inspection was unreasonably time- and HR-consuming. Cargo parameters were being input into WMS by hand with delays and mistakes, which are inevitable with human coordinated data collection. The ACI device had been implemented to let workers scan QR- code, weigh and take 360° cargo shots without leaving the loader seat. The team shrinked from 8 to 6 workers, given the same cargo flow.

Roman Alekseev

Spectrum Logistika, Lithuania

Spectrum Logistika has engaged most of its customers with a more visible and analysable cargo management approach thanks to ACI SmartStand and its reports. Several customers, previously satisfied only with only the fact of arrival and cargo weight from waybills, saw the value of comprehensive reporting and switched to the next service tier. We've managed to raise customer service level and operational profitability at the same time, that's unbelievable.
