PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avathon, provider of the leading
AI platform for industrial operations, has partnered with
BlackBerry, enhancing the BlackBerry® AtHoc® critical
event platform with its computer vision AI tool.
BlackBerry AtHoc helps organizations securely collect, validate
and share information across channels to activate an immediate
coordinated, multi-departmental response. Independent from
enterprise IT networks, BlackBerry AtHoc provides operational
resilience and secure messaging, even when primary communication
platforms are compromised.
"AtHoc is the single source of truth for crisis management;
we're making sure all relevant parties have every bit of critical
information as soon as it is available, providing a best-in-class
streamlined approach to incident response," said Jamie Mills, BlackBerry's senior director of
global channel partners, carriers and MSPs. "Our use of Avathon's
visual AI helps ensure that customers have all the data needed to
make informed decisions in real time."
When integrated with existing CCTV cameras, computer vision AI
technology provides real-time insights that allow users to
understand and act upon whatever is happening in their
environments. The product detects and classifies objects, scenes,
and situations, enabling proactive decision-making based on
real-time video data. With Avathon, BlackBerry AtHoc users can also
anticipate challenges, mitigate risk, repair problems, and decide
upon next-best actions once a current issue/situation has been
resolved.
"With its capacity to identify, analyze, and alert in real-time,
24 hours a day, our solution amplifies AtHoc's next-generation
proactive crisis-management capabilities," Pervinder Johar, CEO of Avathon, said.
"Avathon's Industrial AI platform drives rapid response to critical
Incidents."
