Container yard count
Ports, depots and haulage yards want to know how full a stack or yard is through the day without a person walking it, and to catch movements outside working hours.


Timed capture. Generative AI counts 22 containers, four more than at the start of the shift, within the yard's working limit. Logged.
A timed capture. No PIR or radar involved; every frame is uploaded and read by generative AI.
On a timer the camera captures the stack and every frame is uploaded. Generative AI counts the containers and reads any visible IDs. The count is charted; rules on occupancy, or on any change outside working hours, raise the alert.
