When your drivers and staff move in and out of the port, how can they experience clearance that is both rigorous and effortless? When your cargo arrives at YANTIAN, have you ever wondered how it is securely managed across such a vast terminal? Behind it all is the quiet strength of YICT Smart Security and Protection System (YSSPS).

Confidence in every move, powered by technology

• From queues to seamless access

Gone are the days of lining up for paper passes. Today, our fully digitalised system enables drivers and visitors to complete reservations and registration via mobile devices, with facial recognition granting access in seconds. Each year, this streamlined process saves over 40,000 visitors significant waiting time.

• End-to-end protection for your cargo

Since its launch, the system has delivered measurable results. It has been successfully intercepting unauthorized personnel and non-compliant vehicles, strengthening the port's security perimeter. Every container, from gate-in to gate-out, is monitored in real time through AI-powered video analytics, minimising risks and ensuring robust protection throughout the logistics chain.

AI-driven security, with no blind spots

• 24/7 AI vigilance, instant alerts

Our AI video analytics system operates as a tireless sentinel, monitoring every corner of the port around the clock. From perimeter breaches and illegal parking to traffic congestion and abnormal behaviour, potential risks are detected and flagged in real time—ensuring your cargo remains protected at all hours.

• Proactive protection through intelligent alerts

For high-risk operations, the system enables fully digital application and approval processes with complete traceability. Every step is recorded, transparent, and readily accessible, ensuring strict compliance with operational procedures and providing robust safeguards for sensitive cargo.

Data-driven intelligence for more precise security management

• A unified view, zero blind spots

Beyond real-time monitoring, the system harnesses big data analytics to anticipate risks. Overtime presence tracking helps flag anomalies at an early stage, while credential expiry alerts ensure that all personnel operate with valid authorization. These layers of refined control add yet another safeguard to your cargo.

• Digital mapping for pinpoint assurance

Our GIS-based mapping system visualises every security element across the port, enabling security teams to locate and respond to incidents with speed and accuracy. Wherever your cargo is positioned within the terminal, it receives the same consistent, high-standard protection.

• Layered oversight, protection everywhere

To further strengthen coverage, automated drone inspections have been deployed, leveraging their flexibility, efficiency, and wide-area reach as "aerial sentinels." For cargo with heightened safety requirements—such as the "new three" categories (including lithium batteries and new energy vehicles)—drones equipped with infrared thermal imaging conduct yard-wide temperature scans, accurately identifying abnormal heat signatures and mitigating risks that may escape ground-level detection.
Integrated with CCTV systems and on-the-ground security teams, drones form a coordinated air–ground surveillance network. Once an anomaly is detected, particularly involving sensitive cargoes, the system instantly triggers a ground response, significantly accelerating on-site handling and adding a robust layer of aerial protection for your high-value shipments.

Continuous innovation, always one step ahead

We never stop improving. Fourteen new capabilities are in development, including driver container-top Inspection and gate-out chassis–container verification, all focused on one objective: to continually elevate the safety and protection of your cargo through technological innovation.

We believe safety is not a cost, but a promise—one that matters most to our customers. Every enhancement to our smart security system is designed to give you greater peace of mind. 

Your cargo's safety remains at the core of everything we do.
