AI for Logistics & Warehousing — Dock, Forklift, ANPR & PPE Safety

Challenges

Five fronts where dock theft, forklift–pedestrian conflict, hi-vis slip-ups, ANPR gaps and after-hours perimeter breaches slip past a busy logistics site, and why CCTV watched by people alone cannot keep up.

A · Cargo & dock theft

Theft

A bare-headed worker without a hard hat among colleagues wearing helmets on a construction site

Dock cargo tampering

Tailgate

A worker in plain clothes without a hi-vis vest standing near a moving wheel loader

Trailer tailgating

Loitering

A worker at the unprotected edge of a high concrete slab without a fall-arrest harness

Loitering at trailers

B · Loading bay & parcel risks

Bay

Early-stage fire with small flames and smoke beginning among stacked site materials

Bay congestion & queueing

Door

Dock door left open

Parcel

An oil and water spill spreading across a concrete factory floor

Parcel drop & damage

C · Forklift & vehicle hazards

Proximity

A forklift operating close to a pedestrian worker inside a warehouse

Forklift–pedestrian conflict

Reverse

An open excavation trench with no barrier or fence around it

Vehicle in pedestrian aisle

Speed

A worker walking directly underneath a heavy load suspended from a tower crane

Speeding forklifts & trucks

D · PPE & the monitoring gap

Hi-Vis

A control room with one operator facing a large wall of many CCTV feeds

Missing hi-vis in yard

Night

Night shifts & blind docks

Feeds

A single worker isolated in a remote corner of a large industrial site at dusk

Too many feeds, too few eyes

E · Gate, ANPR & compliance

Plate

Outdoor workers under harsh midday desert sun with visible heat haze

Unrecognised plates

Reports

A cluttered site safety office desk covered with paper incident forms and clipboards

Manual gate logbooks

Access

A crowded site entrance at shift start with many workers entering at once

Restricted-zone breach

Solutions

Every gap above has an answer below: how the AI sees dock doors, forklifts, hi-vis vests, ANPR plates and parcels, what it detects, how alerts become action, the analytics you get, and a deployment that fits your existing yard and warehouse cameras inside the Kingdom.

AI Technology

Our solution is built on data-driven video analytics, computer vision that watches live feeds across yards, dock doors, aisles, racks and gates and understands what it sees. The same AI runs across any input you bring: your existing CCTV, drones, autonomous robot dogs and smart helmets, all connected into one platform and one app, and processed on-site inside the Kingdom. We keep the engine proprietary; what follows is how it works for your operation.

Any input, one platform

AI Video Analytics

The brain behind every source, computer vision analyses each frame in real time and flags dock tampering, forklift–pedestrian conflict, missing hi-vis and ANPR mismatches the moment they appear.

Existing fixed and PTZ CCTV cameras on an industrial building

Your Existing CCTV

Runs on the cameras you already have, fixed, PTZ and thermal, with no rip-and-replace in most sites.

A survey drone flying over a construction site

Drones & Aerial

Drones carry the same AI across large sites and hard-to-reach areas, from above.

An autonomous quadruped robot dog patrolling an industrial site

Autonomous Robot Dog

A four-legged robot patrols hazardous or remote zones on its own, taking the AI where fixed cameras cannot reach.

Smart Safety Helmet

Worker-worn helmets with an on-board camera add a first-person view and lone-worker protection to the same system.

On-Site Edge AI

All analysis runs on a secure unit at your site, so footage and data stay inside the Kingdom, in line with PDPL.

A unified safety app on a phone showing every connected camera and device

One Unified App, everything connected

Every camera, drone, robot and helmet feeds a single platform and one app, one place to watch the whole site, verify alerts and act. Add a new device and it simply appears in the same view.

Integration with Your Systems

We adapt to your yard, dock and warehouse setup, you don't rebuild for us. The AI runs on the cameras and gate-monitoring systems you already have: a small on-site unit pulls the video, your cameras and VMS keep running untouched, and in most sites nothing is replaced. Your WMS, TMS and gatehouse ANPR stay exactly as they are.

Works with what you have

A mix of existing fixed and PTZ CCTV cameras on an industrial building

No rip-and-replace

In 70–80% of sites your existing cameras are reused as they are. We connect over standard RTSP / ONVIF, compatible with virtually any IP camera.

Plugs in alongside

A small on-site sidecar unit pulls the camera streams. Your cameras and current VMS keep running exactly as they do today, no disruption.

Survey before spend

A pre-deployment camera survey (included) checks each camera's resolution, angle and lighting, so you know exactly what qualifies before buying anything.

Connects to your monitoring systems

Milestone XProtect Genetec Security Center Hikvision / HikCentral Dahua DSS Axis Camera Station

We integrate with the leading VMS platforms used in the Kingdom, pushing events and alerts straight into the system your control room already uses. Not on the list? The edge unit also runs fully standalone over direct RTSP, no VMS required.

Camera requirements

Parameter	Minimum	Recommended
Resolution	2 MP (1080p)	4 MP or higher
Frame rate	10 fps	15–25 fps
Low light	IR / night capable	True WDR
Detail on target	head ≥ 20 px	≥ 40 px for PPE
Compression	H.264	H.265 (½ the bandwidth)

Network & footprint

Light on bandwidth, a few Mbps per 1080p camera; H.265 halves it.
Only alerts leave the edge, short event clips and metadata, never full 24/7 video.
Processed on-site, a site VPN or private APN covers remote locations; data stays in the Kingdom.
No new software for your team, the dashboard is browser-based; nothing to install.
