AI-based Instant Accreditation Platform
Background
A company providing services to the mining industry faced a critical operational challenge: the manual review of documents to authorize personnel access to operational areas.
This process included verifying documents such as IDs, driver’s licenses, machinery operation authorizations, employment contracts, and medical certificates, among others.
Due to the volume and variety of documents, accreditation for each person could take up to 9 business days, affecting efficiency in daily operations and causing delays in projects.
Challenges
The main challenges faced were:
- Document volume: The company had to analyze a large number of diverse documents for each person, making the manual process lengthy and complex.
- Variety of formats: The documents were not standardized, which made it difficult to automate their processing without human intervention.
- Accuracy and security: It was essential to ensure that only personnel with the appropriate permits and certifications could access operational areas, minimizing risks and complying with safety regulations.
- Slow process: The manual process took up to 9 business days to determine whether a person met the requirements to access operational zones, negatively impacting the agility of operations.
Results
The implementation of a software solution based on artificial intelligence and computer vision resulted in significant transformations:
- Drastic reduction in accreditation time: Document review time was reduced from 9 business days to just minutes, enabling faster and more timely access.
- 90% process automation: Through the combination of AI and computer vision, near-total automation was achieved in document verification, reducing the need for human intervention.
- Greater accuracy and security: AI ensured that only personnel with the correct permits, certifications, and authorizations had access to operational areas, improving safety in operations.
- Scalability and efficiency: The solution was able to efficiently manage the processing of large volumes of documents, scaling with the company’s growth and needs.
This project marked a before-and-after milestone in the efficiency and security of personnel accreditation in the mining industry, optimizing entry times and significantly improving personnel management.
