Panssari applied under the general category, offering a security system for controlling access to the port and for monitoring movements in real time within the port, comprising three different technologies for detecting intruders in the port’s logistics area:

🗝 Access control and geolocation of staff and intruders

📡 Radio frequency identification (own patent)

👁🗨 AI Vision

The information generated by all these technologies produces data that is collected and managed by an Artificial Intelligence platform trained using machine learning, which aims, firstly, to detect, tag and track intruders, and secondly, to predict the behaviour and accidents involving people and vehicles.
