Gorilla Technology Enters Strategic Relationship with British Telecom for AI-Powered Innovative Smart Port Solution
July 20 2023 - 8:00AM
Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (“Gorilla”) (NASDAQ: GRRR), a global
provider of AI-based edge video analytics, IoT technologies, and
cybersecurity, today announced a strategic relationship with
British Telecom (BT) to deliver an innovative Container
Identification and Container Damage Detection solution. This
groundbreaking collaboration, which is being actively deployed and
tested at the Port of Tyne in Northern England, combines Gorilla’s
expertise in video analytics with BT’s extensive network
infrastructure, enabling a comprehensive solution that addresses
the critical needs of the logistics industry.
With the global container shipping industry
experiencing unprecedented growth, it has become increasingly
challenging for stakeholders to efficiently manage container
identification and detect potential damages. Traditional manual
inspection methods are time-consuming and prone to human error,
leading to significant operational inefficiencies and financial
losses. To tackle this industry-wide challenge, Gorilla and BT have
joined forces to develop an intelligent, automated solution that
leverages advanced video analytics technologies.
The container identification and container damage
detection solution developed by Gorilla harnesses the power of
Artificial Intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze
video footage captured at various stages of the container
management process. By leveraging BT’s robust network
infrastructure and Gorilla’s state of the art video analytics
platform, the solution can accurately and rapidly identify
containers, track movements, and detect any signs of damage or
tampering.
The solution is currently being deployed at the
Port of Tyne, one of the UK’s most innovative and efficient deep
sea ports. Located on the River Tyne in Northern England, the Port
of Tyne handles cargo from five continents and serves a network of
sea routes, major roads and rail.
"Our relationship with British Telecom marks a
significant milestone in the evolution of container management
solutions,” said Dr Rajesh Natarajan, Chief Innovation Officer of
Gorilla. “By leveraging the power of video analytics and BT's
robust network infrastructure, we can revolutionize how containers
are identified, tracked, and monitored. Our solution will empower
logistics companies to streamline operations, reduce costs, and
improve the overall integrity of the global supply chain."
"We are thrilled to work with Gorilla on this
groundbreaking solution, which we believe has the power to
revolutionize the logistics industry,” said Brian Jackson, Director
- Surveillance & SMART Solutions, British Telecom. “This
collaboration showcases our commitment to driving innovation and
delivering transformative solutions that empower our customers to
optimize their operations and enhance supply chain integrity."
The key features of this solution include:
- Automated Container Identification: The solution employs
advanced computer vision algorithms to identify containers
alphanumeric codes. This eliminates the need for manual
intervention and significantly reduces identification errors,
whilst enabling container tracking within Port.
- Container Damage Detection: Leveraging AI-based video
analytics, the solution can detect and flag any potential damages
to containers, including dents, scratches, or signs of tampering.
This enables prompt actions to be taken to prevent further damage,
facilitating the rapid tracing of damage liability whilst
mitigating operational risks.
- Safety monitoring: automated monitoring of the Port environment
to enhance site safety by alerting for PPE breaches, such as for
persons not wearing high visibility jackets or hard hats.
- Advanced Reporting and Insights: The solution generates
comprehensive reports and analytics, offering valuable insights
into container conditions, transit times, and potential bottlenecks
in the logistics process. This empowers stakeholders to make
data-driven decisions, optimize operations, and enhance overall
supply chain efficiency.
"We are delighted to work alongside BT, a globally
recognized leader in telecommunications, to bring this cutting-edge
solution to the market,” said Will Addison, Gorilla Vice President
of Operations Europe and MENA. “Together, we aim to set new
industry standards in container management and strengthen the
competitiveness of the logistics industry in the face of mounting
challenges."
Gorilla and BT are actively engaging with logistics
providers, shipping companies, and other stakeholders to integrate
the Container Identification and Container Damage Detection
solution into their operations. This collaboration is a testament
to the commitment of both organizations to drive technological
advancements and deliver tangible value to customers across the
logistics ecosystem.
