ioimage Intelligent Video to Protect Over a Billion Shipments Per Year

HERZLIYA, Israel, November 4 /PRNewswire/ — ioimage, the pioneer of
intelligent video appliances designed for simplicity announced today its
video analytics solution has been implemented at several DHL Express sites
throughout Europe, including Heathrow Airport in the UK and Leipzig Airport
in Germany, as well as ground hubs, terminals and other facilities in Bonn,
Germany, Genk, Belgium, and Budapest, Hungary. DHL locations in Spain and
Italy are also currently being equipped with ioimage intelligent video
while similar projects are in the pipeline in a number of other European
countries.

DHL Express is the leading 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
in order to enhance the security of its facilities and 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 are crucial to secure DHL’s ground
operation and airport sorting hubs, where thousands of packages are
delivered every hour. Furthermore, once the cargo has been screened, EU
security regulations stipulate it must be constantly monitored until
take-off.

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 48000 sqm, 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.

After rigorously testing head to head several analytics vendors and
sensor products, DHL selected ioimage intelligent video to monitor these
critical sites. ioimage’s solution proved to be the most effective and the
most efficient in dealing with environmental challenges and overcoming the
problem of multiple false alarms, significantly reducing the number of
human guards required to perform security tasks. ioimage’s intelligent
video appliances were also able to seamlessly integrate with existing DHL
security system components.

DHL European security management works closely with ioimage in
developing security solutions, expressed with uncompromising support from
ioimage in finding pragmatic and cost effective solutions in demanding
field conditions.

“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 Sales & Customer Services. “Our video analytics solutions are
proving to deliver the highest measurable Return on Investment for complex
installations such as these.”
