Case studies

Express, courier, logistics and distribution: environments where the parcel, the pallet and the flow are the unit of account, and where a minute of downtime has a price. Our tools were born there.

A parcel number, and the footage that goes with it

The gantry timestamps every read. C4u_Mining queries all connected sites, finds the event and opens the cameras of the site concerned at the exact moment of passage. An operator at head office can therefore search without knowing which site the parcel went through.

The same engine exists as a standalone client and as a tab inside the Milestone XProtect Smart Client: operators stay in the tool they already use.

  • Multi-site search
  • Gantry view + synchronised cameras
  • Milestone XProtect integration
C4u_Mining client: a parcel-number search shows the event found, the gantry view and the site cameras, synchronised to the timestamp.

Four families of use in live operation

Processing already proven in real logistics and industrial environments. Parcels on conveyors: counting and unit tracking, anomaly detection, correlation with the sorter. Virtual zones: entry authorisation per zone, headcount of people present, alerts on restricted areas. Forklifts: location within the warehouse, detection of people around a moving truck. Gestures and postures: analysis of handling movements, identification of risky postures, PPE compliance checks.

  • Analysis embedded on site
  • Faces masked during processing
  • Multi-camera deployment

Software built under a client's own brand

We also develop software that ships under a client's brand. For a German logistics software publisher, we built a multi-source data acquisition portal with automatic extraction of photographs and video footage as pallets are loaded.

It shows that our software building blocks are reusable and can be integrated into another company's offering.

  • Multi-source acquisition
  • Automatic extraction

Consolidated oversight for a group department

C4u_Sûreté moves a security department from running isolated sites to running a consolidated estate: monitoring that video, intrusion and access control equipment is working across every site, immediate alerts on failure, and measurement of resolution times.

  • Multi-site
  • Alerting on failure
  • Resolution time tracking
