REMOTE PHYSICAL-CHECK SYSTEM (RPS) FOR CARGO HANDLING
Westports Malaysia’s Remote Physical-Check System wins the Malaysia Technology Excellence Award for Infrastructure Technology in Cargo Handling hosted by Singapore Business Review.
Previously, stowage clerks physically inspected the loading and unloading of containers onto vessels at the wharf. With the RPS, it allows stowage clerks to perform verification processes remotely using Video Analytic Cameras installed on the Quay Cranes structure through networking devices installed at the Stowage Cabin.
