HMM plans to strengthen its ship safety management by introducing DeepEyes, an artificial intelligence (AI) video analysis solution.
aAccording to the description, DeepEyes is designed to recognize sudden events such as fire, smoke, lack of worker safety equipment, and falls, and immediately alert managers. Traditionally, shipping companies relied on CCTV systems for surveillance, but these lacked warning capabilities, creating safety management challenges.
To address this, HMM entered into a supply agreement with GlobeAI, a startup founded by a Chuo University professor. With the introduction of DeepEyes, ships will be able to respond quickly to safety incidents, prevent secondary incidents, and strengthen overall safety measures.
AI applications in the shipping industry
- Fleet management: AI can be used to optimize fleet operations and improve the efficiency of transportation routes by analyzing data from GPS, weather, and traffic information.
- predictive maintenance: Use AI to predict when equipment or vehicles need maintenance. This helps reduce downtime and save costs.
- autonomous ship: AI will enable the development of autonomous ships that can navigate, dock, and make decisions on their own, making the industry safer and more efficient.
- Freight optimization: AI can be used to optimize cargo loading and unloading by analyzing data about cargo weight and volume, vessel stability, and port infrastructure.
- crisis management: AI-based risk management systems can analyze data from various sources to identify and mitigate risks in the shipping industry, such as weather, traffic, and piracy.
- supply chain management: By utilizing AI, the entire shipping process, from order management to logistics and inventory management, can be optimized.
According to international news, HMM plans to install DeepEyes next month on one of the world's largest container ships with a capacity of 24,000 TEU. This system will be installed in 15 locations onboard the ship, including the engine room and deck. We will consider expanding the introduction of DeepEyes in the future after verifying its effectiveness.
