With the rapid development of port logistics, the scale of operations and the number of equipment are expanding, and the use of heavy lifting equipment, such as frontal cranes and forklift trucks, is also increasing. These pieces of equipment are often large, operate in narrow spaces, and have limited driver visibility, making it difficult to perceive the surrounding environment comprehensively and accurately. Failure to operate in a standardized manner in the complex port environment—especially when handling high-risk cargo—can lead to collisions or other safety incidents, resulting in significant losses. Additionally, issues like driver fatigue, distraction, or unauthorized driving pose serious safety risks.

To address these challenges effectively, the introduction of intelligent technologies has become a crucial method for enhancing the safety and management efficiency of port operations. For instance, STONKAM's intelligent solutions, which combine 360° surround view panoramic image system and Driver Monitoring System (DMS), can provide active safety monitoring and early warning both inside and outside the vehicle, significantly improving the safety management level and emergency response capability in port operations.

1. 360° Panoramic Image Monitoring

The port operation environment is complex, and equipment blind spots are one of the main causes of accidents. STONKAM 360° surround view panoramic image system improves port operation safety in the following ways:

● HD On-board Camera Real-time Image Acquisition

Four 1080P full HD ultra-wide angle waterproof cameras are installed on heavy equipment such as cranes and forklifts to capture real-time images around the equipment, ensuring full coverage.

● Image Synthesis Technology to Generate 360° Bird's-eye View

Using advanced STONKAM panoramic image synthesis technology, multiple images are seamlessly stitched together to form a complete 360° panoramic bird's-eye view. The driver can view the entire vehicle and its surroundings in real time through a display screen, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the environment.

● Accurate Pedestrian and Vehicle Detection Algorithms

The built-in pedestrian and vehicle detection algorithms can intelligently recognize pedestrians, vehicles, and other obstacles in the surroundings, dynamically monitor environmental changes, identify potential collision risks, and issue timely warnings.

2. DMS Driver Status Monitoring

The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) is one of the most important technologies for enhancing port operation safety. The following points explain how STONKAM's DMS works effectively:

● Recognition Based on Deep Learning Technology

The DMS system uses deep learning algorithms to capture real-time images of the driver's face, analyzing head posture and facial features for more accurate and intelligent recognition.

● Fatigue and Distraction Detection and Warnings

STONKAM's DMS system identifies potential safety hazards such as fatigue and distracted driving. If abnormal behavior is detected, an immediate alarm will alert the driver to stay alert, helping to prevent accidents caused by distraction or fatigue.

● Face Recognition for Effective Driver Management

The DMS system uses face recognition and identity verification to regulate driver management. This prevents confusion caused by poor control over people and vehicles, improving operational safety and standardization.

3. Remote Monitoring and Management

STONKAM's solution also provides a platform connection for remote management of port machinery and vehicles:

● Real-time Monitoring of Abnormal Driving Behavior

The operation monitoring center can track the driver's behavior and status in real time to ensure safe operations.

● Automatic Alerts for Abnormal Events

If the system detects abnormal driver behavior, it will automatically send an alarm to the monitoring center, allowing managers to respond quickly and avoid major losses.

● Remote Viewing and Uploading of Alarm Videos

The monitoring platform supports remote viewing of alarm videos, providing a detailed basis for post-event investigations, accident tracing, and responsibility determination.
