Urban micro-hubs, how computer vision ensures the profitability of the last mile.

In 2026, the explosion of e-commerce and the multiplication of low-emission zones (ZFE) have imposed a new model: local logistics. Urban micro-hubs are multiplying to meet the promise of ultra-fast delivery. But these spaces, often restricted and saturated, face a major challenge: profitability per square meter.

With its CORE computer vision SaaS, XXII transforms these potential congestion points into ultra-flowing, highly profitable goods flows.

1. The congestion challenge: optimizing every second of dock space

In a micro-hub, the slightest delay on an unloading dock can paralyze the entire urban distribution chain. Visual data becomes the driving force behind your operational performance.

• Real-time flow analysis: CORE instantly identifies saturated areas and measures average vehicle dwell times.
• Reduced friction: by detecting flow deviations or prolonged stops, AI enables you to dynamically adjust the layout of the space to maximize fluidity.
• Direct impact on ROI: Improved dock rotation increases the volume of parcels handled without enlarging the physical surface area, a crucial lever according toASLOG (Association Supply Chain Logistique) standards.

2. Modular automation: vision in the field

Unlike large automated sorting centers, micro-hubs require agile, minimally invasive technology. CORE connects directly to your existing video streams (RTSP, H264/H265) to transform your cameras into intelligent sensors.

• Automated counting and tracking: Track incoming and outgoing volumes to align your workforce with the actual workload.
• People-infrastructure interaction: Analyze how your teams use material handling equipment to optimize processes and reduce operational costs.

3. Safety and operational continuity in constrained areas

Urban logistics often involve a close cohabitation between handling equipment and operators. Safety is not just a human priority, it's a prerequisite for profitability.

• Proactive prevention: Detect unauthorized intrusions on docks or falls in transit zones, and intervene instantly.
• Simplified compliance: CORE helps maintain a safe working environment, in line withINRS (Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité) recommendationson occupational risk prevention.

4. Sovereign data for agile management

In a sector where reactivity is king, waiting for weekly reports is impossible. CORE offers interactive dashboards accessible in real time to site managers and supply chain managers.

All images are anonymized at source, guaranteeing total employee protection and strict compliance with CNIL guidelines.

Operational excellence at the heart of the city The urban micro-hub should no longer be seen as a constraint, but as a competitive advantage. By transforming your video flows into actionable intelligence, XXII enables you to master the complexity of the last mile and ensure sustainable profitability for your local logistics operations.
