Enhancing Safety management with Visiocue: A SATS Use Case

 

At Visiocue, we’re revolutionising airport logistics with AI-powered solutions, making operations more efficient and reliable. One of our significant collaborations is with SATS, a leading provider of gateway services and food solutions in Asia. This partnership highlights our AI capabilities in solving real-world problems and showcases our commitment to innovation in aviation logistics.

 

The Challenge

SATS faced several challenges in their ground handling services, particularly in ensuring the proper securing of locks on cargo containers within aircraft holds. Misaligned or unsecured locks can lead to serious operational issues, including the risk of containers shifting during flight, causing damage and safety hazards. Additionally, the manual process of taking photos of the locks and sending them to a centralised officer for verification was time-consuming and prone to errors, impacting overall efficiency and safety.

 

The Solution

Visiocue proposed an AI-driven solution to automate the detection and verification of lock positions without the need for manual photo checks. Our AI technology integrates seamlessly with one of SATS’s existing apps, to detect lock anomalies in real-time, reducing the need for operators to navigate multiple apps. This approach not only streamlines the workflow but also ensures higher accuracy and faster processing times.

By leveraging AI to automatically detect the correct positioning of locks, we aim to eliminate human errors and enhance safety protocols. Our solution processes images taken by operators and verifies the lock positions instantly, providing immediate feedback. This reduces the need for physical inspections and ensures that all locks are secured properly before takeoff.

 

Implementation and Results

During our Proof of Concept (PoC) phase, we ingested 600 photos to train our AI model, focusing on detecting lock positions under various conditions, including dim lighting and tight spaces. Our solution demonstrated high accuracy, with false positives and negatives kept under 10%. The AI’s ability to improve incrementally with more data ensured continuous enhancement in performance.

 

Conclusion

Visiocue’s collaboration with SATS exemplifies our capability to address critical operational challenges in the aviation industry using advanced AI solutions. By enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of safety checks, we not only improve operational performance but also contribute to greater safety and reliability in air travel.

This partnership underscores our commitment to innovation and our ability to deliver impactful solutions that drive significant improvements in airport logistics. As we continue to expand our footprint, we look forward to attracting top talent and forging new partnerships to further advance our mission of revolutionizing airport operations with AI.
