Superlinear & Port of Antwerp-Bruges: Leading the Smart Port Revolution with APICA

Superlinear is driving AI-powered innovation at Port of Antwerp-Bruges, one of the world’s largest ports, through the APICA (Automated Port Infrastructure Condition Analysis) project. This initiative leverages computer vision, machine learning, and automation to transform infrastructure monitoring, improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

The Challenge

With over 200 km of quay walls, locks, and bridges, maintaining infrastructure is critical. The port relied on time-consuming manual inspections, leading to delays, inconsistencies, and increased costs. APICA was designed to automate this process, ensuring faster, more accurate, and scalable infrastructure assessments.

The Solution

Superlinear developed advanced AI models that analyze high-resolution drone and vessel-based imagery to detect structural damage, wear, and anomalies. This solution integrates seamlessly with the port’s digital infrastructure, providing:

✅ Automated Condition Monitoring – AI-driven detection of cracks, corrosion, and damage.

✅ Predictive Maintenance – Data-driven insights to optimize repair schedules.

✅ Operational Efficiency – Faster, cost-effective inspections with reduced human intervention.

The Impact

The APICA project is transforming port management:

🚢 Enhanced Safety – Early detection of infrastructure issues reduces risks.

📊 Data-Driven Decision-Making – AI insights improve maintenance strategies.

🌍 Sustainability – Optimized maintenance reduces resource waste and environmental impact.

Superlinear’s expertise in computer vision, AI-powered automation, and predictive analytics is helping Port of Antwerp-Bruges set new industry standards for smart port management. By harnessing AI to improve infrastructure monitoring, we are shaping the future of efficient, safe, and intelligent port operations.
