The Future of AI In Terminals

With companies scrambling to incorporate artificial intelligence in almost every facet of their business, is it too soon for critical infrastructure to make use of this tech? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being widely used in almost all industries. Digital tools have been on a steady incline in terminals for the last few years, facilitating training, streamlining work and even predicting maintenance issues ahead of time, but does AI have a place in the tank storage sector? Dijam Panigrahi, co-founder and COO of GridRaster thinks so: ‘The role of artificial intelligence is driving a fundamental shift, moving beyond the digital realm and into the physical world of tank storage terminals. This convergence of advanced robotics and generative AI is ushering in the era of physical AI, transforming it from a software utility into the operating system for infrastructure, and fundamentally reshaping the management of bulk liquids.' He continues, explaining how AI can be used to improve operations at terminals: ‘AI enhances safety and compliance by monitoring for hazardous anomalies, offering leak and spill detection, and streamlining regulatory reporting.
