The Port of Livorno in Italy handles thousands of vessels yearly. Such a dynamic environment demands constant monitoring. Synchronizing the flow of goods and people requires strict attention from the operators, which Milestone video management software ensures. This security infrastructure provides an open platform for integrating all the system components into a unified, efficient solution that’s future-proof for adding constant innovations.
Environmental monitoring also helps manage evolving climate disasters, with flooded inland waterways bringing ship-threatening debris into the ports.
Modern port infrastructures are delicate and critical, always requiring extensive monitoring to ensure that operations are carried out safely and with absolute efficiency. The Northern Tyrrhenian Sea Port System Authority at the Port of Livorno handles more than 6,300 ships every year. In such a dynamic, fluctuating environment, being able to constantly monitor the entry and exit points of the port is truly essential.
Synchronizing this flow of goods and people requires strict attention from the operators. This focus is significantly enhanced when they can remotely monitor every single moment of activity within the port - a fundamental function for both port security and the safety of people.
At the Port of Livorno, security is ensured by 200 network video cameras monitoring the water areas, docks, and sensitive zones. Both optical and thermal devices assist with this vital function. The video data is managed by Milestone XProtect software, which has an open architecture design for integrating all the system components into one efficient, unified platform. Milestone’s XProtect Smart Wall provides an efficient, centralized overview of the ports’ activities.
When the security makeover started in 2017, they did not know what their needs would be today. And looking ahead to the next ten years, they cannot know what will be required.
