HONG KONG's leading independent air cargo handler, hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl), is introducing robot patrols to boost security measures at its SuperTerminal 1 facility, reports Lithuania's Aerotime.
Hactl announced that the first security robot is 'about to enter service,' and will mainly be patrolling during peak night-time hours, a period that typically faces workforce constraints.
The security robot is equipped with high-resolution cameras and will continuously patrol car and truck parking areas, as well as export goods-handling zones, to supplement the existing CCTV systems in place to monitor the premises.
'By reducing reliance on human patrols, we are freeing up valuable night shift security staff resources to focus on making our security regime even more proactive, flexible, and responsive to any incidents,' said Hactl CEO Wilson Kwong. 'This is a significant step forward in strengthening our overall security programme.'
One of the standout features of this robot is a thermal imaging camera that can detect humans and objects even in complete darkness. Complementing this is the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor for navigation and multiple ultrasonic sensors for collision avoidance.
Additionally, Hactl has recently launched a robotic Automated Parts Store to dispense urgent spare parts needed around the clock.
The implementation of technological advancements comes at a key moment, as the air cargo market is expected to grow further.
