Hanwha Vision: improve logistics efficiency and security with AI-powered video surveillance

Logistics companies face strong pressure to optimize their operations, strengthen security, reduce losses and be more cost efficient, how the manufacturer analyzes Hanwha Vision next.

Advanced video surveillance solutions powered by artificial intelligence offer essential support: from rigorous stock control and access and perimeter management, to proactive protection, while improving operational visibility and automating tasks.

Invest in video surveillance solutions innovative and adapted to the specific needs of this environment has a tangible and lasting impact on the entire supply chain. From Hanwha Vision They emphasize that they not only prevent losses due to theft or loss, but also effectively track shipments in complex logistics chains and improve customer and delivery experience.

Cost and challenge of theft in logistics

According to data from the Intelligence System of the Transport Asset Protection Association (TAPA) for the EMEA region provided by this security system manufacturer, in the last quarter of 2024 crimes against cargo valued at more than one hundred million euros, with the months of November and December as those with the highest value of thefts declared throughout the year.

In this sense, Internal theft is increasingly worrying logistics managers, since warehouse employees, distribution centers and stores represent the 40% of losses in retail trade in Europe.

Beyond the obvious economic repercussions, losses along the supply chain affect inventory accuracy, reduce customer satisfaction and cause unexpected stockouts.

AI for loss prevention

“Having a strategic partner in video surveillance that offers specific solutions for the logistics sector and has extensive experience, can make a big difference. It is possible to implement multi-level security frameworks that cover warehouses, distribution centers, parking lots, storage areas, loading docks and more”, point out from this manufacturer.

Las AI enabled cameras, integrated into a video management system (VMS) and with intelligent IP audio analysis allow real-time monitoring of facilities, either locally or remotely. This gives operators greater situational awareness of relevant events or objects that might require additional attention..

For example, If an unauthorized vehicle accesses a loading dock during a busy time, An alert can be activated that allows those responsible to follow your movement and send teams to the exact location.

With the artificial intelligence constantly monitoring potential threats, like loitering, unauthorized access or unusual movements of employees or goods, Operators can focus on other tasks knowing they will be alerted if something requires investigation.

Team efficiency improves thanks to a VMS that identifies objects or events that need human intervention and automates actions such as opening barriers to authorized vehicles. The number of screens can be reduced, concentrating critical cameras and relevant events in a single view, instead of classic control centers with multiple monitors, which also contributes to greater energy efficiency.

Optimized operational information

AI-powered video surveillance is no longer limited to improving security, now also contributes to the operational efficiency by providing insight into daily workflows, allowing managers to fine-tune processes such as staff assignment or delivery schedules.

Video systems optimized with artificial intelligence can track the movement of goods, Monitor inventory levels and detect warehouse inefficiencies in real time.

Smart cameras are capable of evaluate the flow of goodss through an installation, automatically identifying bottlenecks, underused areas or slow processes that can lead to delays. In the medium and long term, is it possible analyze patterns to locate critical points and areas to improve.

Traditionally, Decision making has been based on fragmented or obsolete data from different systems, with problems that were resolved only once detected. Video surveillance with AI helps to anticipate, identifying incidents before they escalate, such as a misplaced package or a delay in a shipment.

Besides, las cameras with integrated barcode scanner can track packets by combining video and scanning on a single device, with consolidated information so that operators can act quickly.

These dual-channel devices are a very effective tool to optimize package tracking and recovery., ensuring they reach their final destination. In addition, Video playback helps clarify incidents if a package is damaged or lost during transport, facilitating a complete investigation and resolution.

Other cameras with artificial intelligence allow you to precisely monitor the activity at loading docks, checking if vehicles are parked in the correct place, whether the assigned packets are received and, what is equally important, how long does it take to complete the charge.

Having this information makes it easier for those responsible to identify the main causes of delays and avoid costly delays. In addition to reducing the risk of packages ending up in the wrong vehicles, It also improves safety by minimizing unnecessary maneuvers when vehicles are not correctly positioned..

Facilitate regulatory compliance

AI surveillance can also help logistics companies comply with strict safety regulations, labor and environmental. For example, can detect the presence of forklifts and verify that they remain a safe distance from other vehicles or people.

With cameras that monitor operations and a VMS system that validates compliance with the required standards, those responsible can have the peace of mind of having detailed evidence for any incident the dispute. This is especially valuable in the event of damage to goods., work accidents or claims for improper handling.

In addition to regulatory control, video surveillance with AI simplifies reporting by creating detailed records and documentation for audits, which saves time and reduces administrative costs..

As noted by Hanwha Vision, “adopting video surveillance systems with AI will allow logistics leaders to improve their operations, increase efficiency, reinforce security and prevent losses more effectively. This will lay the foundation for sustained success in a constantly evolving sector.. To achieve these benefits, “It is essential to have the right technological partner and deploy the solutions that best adapt to each operation”.
