Transport & Logistics

Artificial Intelligence, DNN training and object recognition can be applied in transport and logistics to enhance efficiency, accuracy and safety. Here are several examples of how these technologies can be used in this sector:

Automated Sorting and Warehousing

Automated Sorting Systems

Application

  • Use Metrici AI to recognize and sort packages based on size, shape, barcodes and destination.
  • Identify boxes and pair each one with the designated delivery car/truck
  • Make regular inventory check after AI training to recognize products on shelves or read barcodes/ QR codes.
  • Example

  • A logistics company uses Metrici to scan and sort packages on conveyor belts. The system identifies the destination and directs the packages to the appropriate sorting bin, significantly speeding up the process and reducing errors. Complex database with each package and its delivery truck and destination
  • Warehouse management

    Application

  • Implement Metrici AI for inventory management, tracking, and placement within warehouses. Keep inventory automated or not.
  • Example

  • Drones or robots equipped with cameras navigate warehouses and Metrici recognize and place items in a correct order in database. Can also count inventory in real-time, ensuring accuracy and reducing the need for manual stock checks.
  • Stock-level optimization in logistics- dynamically adjust and maintain optimal stock levels using predictive analytics.
  • Analyze stock fluctuations to real-time demand and precisely predict future stocking requirements.
  • Automate the manual and time-consuming process of document processing by using Metrici OCR processing to read, understand, and extract crucial information from physical and digital documents. Faster data entry, reduced manual errors, and results in significant time and cost savings.

    Fleet Management and Monitoring

    Application

  • Use car recognition to trigger LPR reading and vehicle analysis in transport hub or on street
  • Check cargo, visual inspect vehicles reducing downtime and preventing costly repairs
  • Vehicle Tracking through the use of GPS to monitor performance and any potential maintenance issues. Adopt a video feature to record vehicles and behavior in traffic for both vehicle and driver.
  • Dynamic Route Planning: optimize transportation routes by considering real-time traffic data and delivery constraints
  • Route Monitoring by vehicle movement and schedules, plan out routes for optimal efficiency.
  • Example

  • A transport company installs Metrici and cameras in its fleet to continuously monitor and detect number of passengers or and observe abnormal behavior.
  • Driver Suppport Alert

    Application

  • Metrici AI analyzes video feeds to monitor driver behavior, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
  • Cameras placed outside can continuously monitor surroundings alerting driver for people or cars in blind spots
  • Example

  • A scrapyard uses Metrici for its trucks and excavators on site to monitor surroundings and alert driver when people are near by.
  • Metrici can also monitor drivers, detecting signs of fatigue, distraction, or aggressive driving. It alerts the driver and fleet manager, potentially preventing accidents and improving overall safety.
  • Route Optimization and Traffic Management

    Dynamic Route Optimization

    Application

  • Use Metrici AI to analyze real-time traffic data and optimize routes for different beneficiaries such as delivery or taxi companies.
  • Example

  • A local administration utilizes Metrici to process traffic data from various points and with different sources and detection engines, optimizing routes in real-time. This helps in traffic decisions and management and reduces travel time, fuel consumption, and improves efficiency.
  • Traffic Flow Analysis

    Application

  • Metrici AI analyzes video feeds from traffic cameras to manage traffic flow and reduce congestion. Metrici Line Counter and LPR can work to analyze streams and command traffic lights or barriers.
  • Recommend alternative routes. See history and take measures accordingly depending on day, time of the day or other data.
  • Example

  • A city’s transportation department uses Metrici to monitor traffic patterns at major intersections. The system adjusts traffic light timings based on real-time data to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
  • Use Parking Place Detector or LPR Parking Module throughout the city to monitor all parking lots and direct drivers to available spots.
  • Metrici analyzes vast amounts of data, compare historical trends to current conditions, and create real-time insights.
  • Aid in making decisions that result in decreased congestion, such as adjusting traffic signal timing at an intersection prone to bottlenecks.

  • Metrici cargo check

    Cargo and Load Monitoring

    Cargo Security

    Application

  • Use Metrici CCR to monitor cargo loading and unloading, ensuring security and accuracy.
  • Example

  • Metrici monitors the access points and loading docks in a port, recognizing and recording each container and codes and each package loaded onto a truck.
  • Does a LPR reading and a container code recognition for each truck associating container code with truck license plate.
  • This ensures that all items are correctly loaded and reduces the risk of theft or loss.
  • Build a complex database for each transport/ truck/ container and overall.
  • OCR reading for train cars or other transportation modes
  • Cargo Load

    Application

  • Metrici can analyze how cargo is loaded to ensure proper weight distribution and safety.
  • Also calculates how much is loaded and knows if any more merchandise can be placed in
  • Counts and keep track of containers.
  • Example

  • In a freight yard, Metrici analyzes the placement of cargo and shipping containers or on pallets to ensure even weight distribution, preventing accidents and improving stability during transport.
  • Automated Vehicles and Drones

    Autonomous Delivery Vehicles

    Application

  • Metrici may be used to develop autonomous delivery vehicles that can navigate complex environments.
  • Use it also to scan codes and make inventory.
  • Bar code or QR codes reading to do an inventory check- manned or unmanned with self guided drones.
  • Metrici bar codes reading

    Enhanced Security and Surveillance

    Facility Surveillance

    Application

  • Use Metrici AI and object recognition for surveillance of logistics hubs and warehouses.
  • Use Line Counter and Area Counter to detect/ count or track people or vehicles.
  • Use object recognition to monitor environment
  • Example

  • Metrici monitors a logistics center, detecting unauthorized access, suspicious behavior, or potential security breaches. The system can alert security personnel in real-time to prevent incidents.
  • Cargo Inspection

    Application

  • Metrici may inspect cargo for tampering or damage during transit.


  • AI, deep neural network training, and object recognition offer transformative potential in transport and logistics. These technologies can enhance operational efficiency, improve safety, ensure accuracy in handling and shipping goods, optimize routes, and elevate customer satisfaction. By integrating AI-driven solutions, companies can stay ahead of the competition, reduce costs, and meet the evolving demands of the industry.
