Man, ever stressed about your belongings during a move, or wondered if your movers are 100% focused? I’ve been there! For moving companies, it’s a constant battle to keep things safe and costs down.
So, check this out: one moving company, 3 Men Movers, was staring down the barrel of rising insurance costs and too many accidents. Fischer, the person leading the charge, said they had to tackle safety and liability head-on to survive in this tough industry.
Enter AI: The Game-Changer
They didn’t just wish for things to get better; they made it happen with some seriously smart tech. Fischer is quick to point out:
“There is a big misconception that AI was born in 2020… machine learning and data analytics… were already used in pioneering industries.”
So true! This stuff has been brewing for a while.
AI Keeping Drivers Safe
First up, they installed cameras right in the driver’s cabin. But here’s the awesome part: an AI system keeps an eye on the live video. It’s trained to spot if a driver is:
- Using a smartphone (a huge no-no!)
- Eating or drinking
- Doing some personal grooming (yep, really!)
- Smoking
- Or even yawning a bit too much!
If the AI catches any of this distracted behavior, WHAM! Both the driver and their supervisor get an instant alert. Super smart for keeping everyone on their A-game!
AI for Super-Smart Routes
But they didn’t stop there! 3 Men Movers also uses advanced open-source routing tech. This isn’t just your basic map app, folks. This AI powerhouse helps their drivers:
- Dodge those soul-crushing traffic jams
- Steer clear of high-crime areas or accident hotspots
- Avoid restricted zones and even environmental nasties
It’s all about finding the most optimal routes to slash risks and avoid liabilities. Fischer says:
“route in the most optimal way that will avoid liability and reduce risks.”
Genius!
So, AI isn’t just for coding wizards or chatbots anymore. It’s out here making everyday services like moving safer, smarter, and way more efficient. How cool is that?!
