Glossar

A hazardous materials label is a standardized marking that indicates the presence of hazardous substances or goods. It provides information about the respective hazard class and enables the safe transport, storage, and handling of hazardous materials.

Hazardous materials labels comply with international regulations and are an integral part of hazardous materials legislation in road, rail, maritime, and air transport. Modern image processing and AI systems can automatically recognize these labels and cross-reference them with transport data. This enables the reliable identification of hazardous materials shipments, ensures compliance with legal requirements, and automates safety-related processes.

Practical example:

Before loading, a camera-based inspection system automatically detects the hazardous materials label on a shipping carton and confirms that the shipment is labeled in accordance with transport regulations.
