Safetytech Accelerator announces collaboration with DP World Europe and IronYun to reduce risk in ports through AI video analytics.
Ports are extremely busy places – with cranes, lorries, and people in constant motion, the risk of accidents is high. Safetytech Accelerator believes that modern artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms can help reduce this risk, and is working with two pioneers in their respective fields to show how this can be done.
