AI technology to improve safety
Hamburg’s water police department has implemented a digital model using artificial intelligence (AI) to systematically detect undeclared hazardous materials and enhance safety at the port of Hamburg.
Supported by IT software firm Dakosy, the project was funded by the Innotech Hamburg Fund and began in January 2023, transitioning to regular operations by April 2024.
The AI application generates recommendations for inspecting containers based on import and export data from Dakosy's port community system (PCS). This initiative, facilitated by the Hamburg port security act, enables to process cargo data to identify undeclared hazardous goods. The system has already significantly increased efficiency and safety at the port, the water police said. (pb)
