The conference allowed thought leaders to engage in dynamic discussions, sharing insights and best practices pertinent to Motive's expanding product portfolio, as it introduced its AI Omnicam, Motive Beacon and Driver Safety Solution.
AI Omnivision is a computer vision platform that can be used across the physical economy sectors to deploy custom AI models. For waste services, it can help detect overflowing bins or hazardous materials. For construction, it monitors job sites in real time to prevent accidents, and for transportation, it can help identify unauthorized cargo movements and plan for other security and compliance issues.
Bluetooth-based Motive Beacon, consisting of its Gateway and Mesh Network offerings, helps manage and track assets of all sizes.
While indoors, the Gateway forms a wireless network, helpful for warehousing and construction sites, enabling workers to locate tools and equipment quickly through the Motive Fleet app. Outdoors, the Mesh Network utilizes over 2 million active Gateways and app users to track assets in transit outside facility boundaries.
Motive's Driver Safety Solution helps detect and report on collisions. Its AI models detect unsafe driving behavior like drowsiness, lane swerving and forward collisions. Upon collision, its First Responder feature automatically dispatches vehicle data to emergency services while notifying safety managers, especially helpful for assets in remote areas.
FreightWaves' enterprise fleet expert Thomas Wasson attended the 500-customer event and particularly enjoyed the focus on safety across the physical economy.
"It was all about safety, but not just in trucking" said Wasson. "Construction was a big topic, especially using computer vision to identify everyday problems like workers not using hard hats."
