It is possible to automate the border control process thanks to implementing technologies that define the sequence of mandatory intervention by control institutions between countries through artificial intelligence, IoT sensors, cameras, scales, and other technological tools.
This project directly impacts Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. More than 1,500 vehicles cross the border daily since 40% of trade occurs at night, and approximately 500,000 vehicles cross the border yearly.
Characteristics of the technological solution implemented
The main challenges are developing, installing, and configuring cutting-edge equipment for the border area. Specifically, it refers to establishing an "unattended station" that automatically identifies modes of transportation arriving at the border crossing and the circumstances of their travel to verify pre-declarations and other documents completed, transmitted, and registered in advance.
As part of this effort, more than 800 technological devices were put in place and implemented, including:
- 150 IoT cameras
- 15 barriers
- 25 RFID systems (technology that identifies and records data)
- Internet Protocol (IP).
- Datacenter monitoring center
- Digital posters
Our mission at SONDA is to develop agile, scalable, interoperable, and data-centered technological solutions that facilitate the creation of sustainable and efficient cities, improving citizens' quality of life.
