PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avathon, provider of the leading AI platform for industrial operations, has partnered with BlackBerry, enhancing the BlackBerry® AtHoc® critical event platform with its computer vision AI tool.
BlackBerry AtHoc helps organizations securely collect, validate and share information across channels to activate an immediate coordinated, multi-departmental response. Independent from enterprise IT networks, BlackBerry AtHoc provides operational resilience and secure messaging, even when primary communication platforms are compromised.
"AtHoc is the single source of truth for crisis management; we're making sure all relevant parties have every bit of critical information as soon as it is available, providing a best-in-class streamlined approach to incident response," said Jamie Mills, BlackBerry's senior director of global channel partners, carriers and MSPs. "Our use of Avathon's visual AI helps ensure that customers have all the data needed to make informed decisions in real time."
When integrated with existing CCTV cameras, computer vision AI technology provides real-time insights that allow users to understand and act upon whatever is happening in their environments. The product detects and classifies objects, scenes, and situations, enabling proactive decision-making based on real-time video data. With Avathon, BlackBerry AtHoc users can also anticipate challenges, mitigate risk, repair problems, and decide upon next-best actions once a current issue/situation has been resolved.
"With its capacity to identify, analyze, and alert in real-time, 24 hours a day, our solution amplifies AtHoc's next-generation proactive crisis-management capabilities," Pervinder Johar, CEO of Avathon, said. "Avathon's Industrial AI platform drives rapid response to critical Incidents."
