DHL locations in Spain and Italy are also being equipped with ioimage intelligent video, while similar projects are in the pipeline in a number of other European countries.
DHL Express is a global provider of international road, air and rail-based courier and express services. In a project spanning the past three years, the company has been upgrading its security systems in Europe, helping it to comply with EU regulations.
A key component in the upgrade is the incorporation of video analytics, serving to detect intruders and perimeter breaches, protect against theft and identify suspicious activity around the aircraft and in the facilities. These applications help to secure DHL’s ground operation and airport sorting hubs, where thousands of packages are delivered every hour. And once the cargo has been screened, EU security regulations stipulate it must be constantly monitored until take-off.
Unique challenges
All of the sites presented unique security challenges with regards to size and structural and operational complexity. For example, the new aviation hub at Leipzig/Halle Airport, DHL’s main distribution hub measuring 48,000sq m, entails surveillance of up to 1,500 tons of freight and up to 60 aircraft daily. Pinpointing only relevant incidents out of thousands of activities monitored by immense CCTV array, ioimage’s video analytics enables DHL to conduct practical and effective surveillance.
“Ioimage is pleased to have been selected to help secure the shipments moving through some of DHL’s major European hubs,” said Zeev Farkash, ioimage VP of sales and customer services. “Our video analytics solutions are proving to deliver the highest measurable Return on Investment for complex installations such as these.”
