Speaking on behalf Strata Worldwide, Adam Beauchamp, the head of the company’s maritime division commented, “Strata’s role is to protect workers involved with the operation of heavy machinery across a number of industry sectors. Within the global port environment, we deploy an artificial intelligence-based machine vision system to provide proactive accident prevention with early danger detection and warning. Such dependable monitoring enhances safety and ensures optimum productivity. We see engagement with ICHCA members, and its influence across the industry and regulatory regimes as ideal in helping to perfect Strata’s future enhanced offerings.”

All involved in this pursuit are welcomed to help share innovation, knowledge, experience and best practice.
