Challenges
With a large number of people, vehicles, and goods moving through the warehouse every hour, it is important to ensure the comprehensive security of the warehouse and personnel with enhanced efficiency.

Dock management
Challenges
Loading and unloading cargo at the docks of fulfilment or distribution centers is a key step in the logistics process. Traditional logistics companies lack sufficient video recordings, especially when there is damage or loss of goods. They are also unable to track the status of each dock, likely due to heavy workloads and large numbers of docks to be managed. Therefore, optimizing dock operations and management is of paramount importance for enhancing efficiency for any growing business.

Parcel tracking
Challenges
Every day, distribution center operators face challenges such as bad customer experience and complaints due to loss or damage of goods. Existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and video security systems are operated separately, which can result in a lack of video evidence and difficulty retrieving specific parcels or footage, along with difficulty tracking parcels on the conveyer belt due to its length and complexity.
