This Week In Jacksonville News

Business Edition,Podcasts

Jacksonville continues advancing as a region full of innovative technology companies. One of those is Duos Technology Group, led by CEO Chuck Ferry.

– Ferry said Duos Tech has about 75 employees and is headquartered in Jacksonville.“The company basically specializes at this moment in a cutting-edge technology called the Railcar Inspection Portal,” Ferry said. “And what the railcar inspection portal does is basically a large car garage.”

Ferry said the product sits on a set of railroad tracks, but it’s got machine vision cameras, lighting lasers and speed sensors. It takes images topside and bottom of a speeding train at 70 miles an hour plus and then creates those images so they can be viewed on a computer screen.“We also apply machine vision and artificial intelligence that then automatically finds mechanical defects which are then used by the railroads to repair those cars. We have ten patents on that.

Ferry and Recker describe the innovative technology, the opportunity for expansion, and how the workforce is adapting to the needs of the industry. “And then we started another company called Edge Presence, which we sold last year and we’re starting it again under Chuck,” Recker said.Kent Justice co-anchors News4Jax's 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts weeknights and reports on government and politics. He also hosts "This Week in Jacksonville," Channel 4's hot topics and politics public affairs show each Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
