AI video analytics for warehouses and logistics: forklifts, docks and trucks on your existing CCTV
AI video analytics for warehouses and logistics turns the cameras over aisles, docks and yards into alerts and records a shift supervisor can use. SquintPRO, the video analytics platform Interkey builds and supports in Riyadh, watches for the conditions you name, such as a person too close to a moving forklift or a vehicle in a walkway, and sends each event with video evidence to a record you can search and count.

Why AI video analytics for warehouses and logistics starts with the cameras you have
Distribution centres in the Kingdom often run around the clock, with forklifts, agency staff and drivers sharing the same aisles and docks, under cameras that are opened only after something has gone wrong. Computer vision for warehouses and logistics changes what those cameras are for: software watches each stream and raises an alert when a defined condition occurs in a defined zone, during the shifts you set. It does not replace the shift supervisor or the safety officer; it tells them in time to act, and keeps the evidence. For permits, KPIs and the wider safety practice, see our industrial safety work.

Warehouses and logistics CCTV analytics: what SquintPRO watches
Pick one or two for a pilot; the survey establishes what each camera can see.
| Use case | What SquintPRO detects | What it needs from the site |
|---|---|---|
| Forklift and pedestrian proximity | A person too close to a moving forklift; a person in a forklift-only aisle; a vehicle in a walkway | Cameras that see both the person and the truck; zones and shifts per aisle |
| Loading docks | A person in a dock lane during loading; vehicles at each bay, logged by time | Cameras over lanes and bays; the loading schedule |
| Counting movements | People, vehicles or a defined object crossing a line, counted per zone and shift | A clear view of the line; the object tested on your footage |
| Trucks in and out | An entry and exit record at the gate; plates read on cameras placed for it | Gate cameras positioned for plate reading |
| Restricted areas and PPE | A person in a chemical store, charging area or yard zone out of hours; a missing hi-vis vest | Zones per view; the PPE rule per zone |
| A searchable record | Every event logged with time, camera, zone and type; footage searched by description or image | Recordings from connected cameras |
Warehouses and logistics safety monitoring: forklifts and people
Shared aisles, blind corners and crossings are where forklifts and people meet. SquintPRO applies zone rules both ways: a person in a forklift-only aisle raises an alert, and so does a vehicle in a walkway. It also alerts when a person comes too close to a moving forklift, on views where the camera sees both, all the time or only during set shifts. It is an alerting and evidence tool, not a collision-avoidance system: barriers, marked routes and speed rules stay in place. Our guide to forklift and pedestrian detection on CCTV compares cameras with tags, radar and mirrors.
Loading docks and gates
Dock-lane rules can follow the loading schedule (loading dock monitoring), and gate cameras placed for it log trucks in and out (plate reading at gates).
What Saudi warehouses add: heat, light, shifts and data
Yards in the Kingdom bring dust on camera domes, midday glare and heat haze; large sheds bring dim aisles and backlit dock doors, so the survey and the pilot run in those conditions. Tell staff and drivers what is watched and why; SquintPRO does not use face recognition and does not identify people. On-premise, footage stays on your own servers; in the cloud it is kept for 3, 6 or 12 months. Interkey's engineers carry out the survey, integration and support from Riyadh, in Arabic and English.
How a warehouse pilot runs
-
Camera survey.
Each camera is sorted into usable, usable after adjustment, or needing new hardware; our camera compatibility guide explains the checks.
-
Pilot scope.
One building or dock, one or two use cases, and success criteria written first, including the false alerts per shift the team accepts.
-
Integration.
Alerts go into the VMS, control room or incident system the site already runs.
-
Tuning.
Zones, shift windows and thresholds are adjusted to how the site actually moves.
-
Measurement and rollout.
Results are measured on your cameras against the criteria; more docks or sites follow once the pilot passes.
What drives the cost
SquintPRO is licensed per camera stream, with unlimited use cases on a licensed stream, so adding dock rules or counting to a camera already licensed for forklift alerts adds no licence. Each quote is built from the number of streams, the deployment model and any new cameras or servers the survey finds are needed. The inputs behind a SquintPRO quote are set out on their own page.
Questions warehouse and logistics teams ask
Can our existing warehouse cameras warn us when a forklift gets too close to a worker?
Usually yes, on views where the camera sees both the person and the truck at a workable distance; the survey says which qualify. The alert does not stop the truck, so physical controls stay in place.
Can SquintPRO count pallets or stock in our warehouse?
It can count what crosses a line or enters a zone in view, including an object you define, such as a loaded pallet at a dock door, once tested on your footage. It does not replace the stock count in your WMS: it cannot see inside racking or read carton labels.
Can it log which trucks came in and out of our distribution centre?
Yes, on gate cameras positioned for plate reading: each read becomes an entry and exit record with the image. Saudi plates carry Arabic and Latin characters, so we agree how the record matches your gate list.
How is SquintPRO licensed for a warehouse in Saudi Arabia?
By quote, per camera stream, with unlimited use cases on a licensed stream, so forklift alerts, dock rules and counting on one camera need one licence. The deployment model and any new cameras or servers also shape the quote.
Does warehouse footage have to leave the Kingdom?
No. On-premise, SquintPRO runs on servers you control and footage stays on site. In the cloud, recordings are kept for 3, 6 or 12 months. Interkey carries out the survey, integration and support from Riyadh.
How long does a warehouse pilot take before we see results?
It depends on the number of cameras, how many need adjusting, the use cases and how quickly alerts connect to your systems. We agree scope and success criteria in writing first, then estimate the timeline.
