ISD develops AI solutions and remote sensing capabilities for defence, aerospace, space and biosecurity objectives.
The problem:
- Millions of Shipping Container Imports each year
- Between 2016 17, 5.7 million containers were released uninspected. 42,000 of these were highly contaminated
- Manual inspections require personnel, are potentially dangerous, costly, interrupt the logistics stream, and only cover a small fraction of imports
- $5.4 Billion cost to Agriculture Industry every year from hitchhiking.
The solution:
- Portable device + Hyperspectral Sensing + Artificial Intelligence
- Reduces recourses, personnel, cost & time
- Improves reliability, speed & decisions making process
- Protects Australian Agriculture, Natural Resources & Economy
- Can be deployed on vessels before entry, in warehouses, for all types of cargo, container internals and product
- Provides certification of pest free exports.
