Challenge
A strategically important seaport—central to the movement of autos, refrigerated produce, fertilizer, and project cargo—plays a significant role in the U.S. logistics chain. Despite a compact physical footprint, it handles millions of tons of freight annually and shares a perimeter with a military installation, requiring elevated levels of security, coordination, and operational precision.
As the port’s responsibilities have grown in scope and complexity, so too has the need for more advanced video intelligence. While the port had invested in a large, diverse network of IP cameras, increasing demand for real-time situational awareness, regulatory compliance, and operational agility made it clear that a more scalable, intelligent layer of analysis was needed—one that could work with its current infrastructure
Impact
As external demands grew—from federal safety guidelines to CARB’s 2025 rules—the limitations of the port’s video capabilities became increasingly clear. To maintain high standards of safety and responsiveness, a better approach to video monitoring was needed.
Solution
Systems integrator DataStew partnered with Vaidio to deliver an AI-powered video analytics platform tailored to the port’s operational and compliance priorities. The deployment used Vaidio’s open, containerized architecture to run AI engines directly with cameras from the port’s existing camera network—minimizing equipment replacement and reducing overall project cost.
Results
By layering AI on top of the port’s existing camera infrastructure, the team achieved significant improvements in operational intelligence and regulatory readiness
