AI at ports of entry means making smart, more efficient customs inspections, but two challenges stand in the way: Culture and data. First, officers need to understand that AI isn’t replacing them—it’s enhancing their capabilities. Second, governments must prioritize access to curated, high-quality scan data to train AI effectively. Overcoming these hurdles will unlock faster, more accurate inspections and a more secure global trade system. The future is here—it’s time to embrace it.

Today’s global #economy involves complex #supplychains that span numerous countries and cross multiple #borders. This makes it essential that the passage of materials and products between countries is not impeded. However, countries still need thorough and effective #cargo #inspection to protect themselves and their citizens. Melissa Odegaard of S2 Global lays out this delicate balancing act in her latest article on Accelerate Secure Trade. https://lnkd.in/efRkxTdU #economy #supplychain #border #cargoinspection #S2Global

300 kilos of cocaine hidden in a shipping container full of pineapples—this was the latest smuggling attempt intercepted by Spanish authorities at the Port of Valencia. The shipment was tracked to Barcelona, where authorities moved in on the receivers, stopping the illicit cargo before it could hit the streets. This case is just another example of how traffickers exploit global supply chains, using false double-bottom compartments and other concealment methods to move illicit goods undetected. Without the right technology and training, these shipments slip through. Learn how we equip customs and security professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to detect, disrupt, and deter smuggling operations: https://lnkd.in/ghANQmf5 #SmugglingTrends #CargoSecurity #PortSecurity #Customs #BorderProtection #GlobalTrade #S2University

Our team at S2U has compiled some interesting seizures from around the world, Customs and Law Enforcement agencies continue to shine.
Customs uses canines and Non-Intrusive Inspection systems to discover contraband cleverly disguised in cargo and vehicles. See what they found in February.

While the use of advanced artificial intelligence solutions at official ports of entry is hugely beneficial for global governments, we continue to hear two major challenges standing in the way of adoption. Denis Dujmic of S2 Global lays out both challenges and explains why the largest challenge – the availability of cargo inspection data to help train AI models – is actually the easiest to solve.

Global ports of entry are essential cogs in modern, multinational supply chains. But as international trade and immigration increase, ports of entry can get easily overwhelmed. Denis Dujmic of S2 Global explains how advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can eliminate the delicate balancing act between speed and security at ports of entry – expediting the inspection of cargo and getting global governments closer to screening 100% of the products and materials entering their borders: https://lnkd.in/eHNyA_Wg Need cargo screening solutions that work? We're here to make that happen: https://lnkd.in/ghANQmf5. #supplychains #artificialintelligence #AI #portsofentry #cargo #governments

The evolution of global supply chains and the drastic increase in the amount of raw materials and finished products crossing borders is making global governments rethink how they scan and screen cargo. The old way of manually inspecting cargo containers has changed, but even ports of entry using today’s advanced non-intrusive inspection (NII) technologies can struggle to keep up. Melissa Odegaard of S2 Global explains how global governments are changing their operations to keep pace with global trade. https://lnkd.in/e3qGjhbz #supplychains #borders #cargo #NII #S2Global
