U Mobile, Enfrasys Solutions, and Transocean Logistics have successfully concluded a proof-of-concept (PoC) that showcases the power of private 5G networks and artificial intelligence (AI) in the logistics industry. This pioneering initiative has automated Transocean Logistics’ container inspection process, marking a significant milestone for Malaysia’s logistics sector.
The PoC leveraged U Mobile’s private 5G network capabilities and Enfrasys Solutions’ Container Vision industrial application, supported by multi-access-edge computing (MEC) and ZTE Corporation’s 5G RAN and 5G Core infrastructure. This technology has empowered Transocean Logistics’ inspectors to scan and detect container defects in real-time using AI at their Butterworth, Penang depot.
Key benefits of the PoC include:
- Improved Efficiency: Transocean Logistics witnessed a remarkable 70% reduction in the time required to complete the detection process compared to existing practices.
- Seamless Digitalization: U Mobile’s low-latency, high-bandwidth private 5G network supported Enfrasys Solutions’ Container Vision application, enabling end-to-end digitalization of the container inspection process.
- Enhanced Data Processing: MEC technology moved heavy AI processes closer to the application usage source, accelerating data processing and enabling instant defect detection and logging.
- Streamlined Supply Chain: Integration of various upstream business applications promoted transparency among depot operators and container owners.
“Enfrasys Solutions is able to help bridge and accelerate modern-day business automation by leveraging on cutting-edge technology through our partnership with U Mobile and using their 5G private network. We believe that multi-access-edge computing (MEC) will revolutionize applications within enterprises of the future,” said Enfrasys Solutions CEO Tengku Razmi.
