Container Damage Detection (CDD)

Ability Intelligent’s Container Damage Detection (CDD) system uses AI and computer vision to automate inspection of container exteriors, identifying dents, cracks, deformations, and seal issues more quickly and accurately than manual checks. With high-resolution imaging and deep learning analysis, it marks damage locations, generates instant reports, and operates reliably under varying lighting and weather. The system integrates with port and warehouse platforms for centralized tracking, historical records, and improved maintenance and logistics efficiency.

AI Recognition Items

Dent and Deformation Detection

Uses deep learning image models—artificial intelligence algorithms trained on large numbers of images—to automatically detect dents, deformations, or bends on the container surface and determine the location and severity of damage.

Scratch and Fracture Identification

The system automatically analyzes surface images to identify scratches, cracks, and holes, distinguishing between new and existing damage.

Seal Integrity Detection

The system automatically inspects container seals to determine integrity and detect signs of replacement or tampering, ensuring secure transport.

Stain and Corrosion Inspection

The system automatically detects stains, rust, or corrosion on the container surface, helping to prevent long-term damage and support maintenance planning.

Label and Container Code Recognition (OCR)

Through AI Optical Character Recognition (OCR)—a technology that converts images of text into computer-readable characters—the system automatically reads the container numbers, labels, and logistics information, minimizing human reading errors.

Damage Classification and Risk Assessment

The system automatically analyzes damage characteristics and classifies them by severity, providing repair or claim recommendations for management.

Historical Image Comparison

The system compares the current container image with historical records to automatically detect new damage or changes.

Anomaly Alerts and Real-Time Reporting

The system automatically issues alerts and generates inspection reports when damage exceeds thresholds to support management decisions.
