Problem

  • Manual data entry is slow and often inaccurate. Especially during peak hours at the gates. It causes shipment delays.
  • Incorrect container details disrupt real-time inventory systems and increase operational costs.
  • The absence of a container number recognition system leads to inefficient processing and tracking.

Solution

We developed a computer vision in logistics solution that automatically identifies container details in real time.

  • The system captures images using a high-speed camera and processes them with OCR container recognition. It is to read container and license plate data.
  • Works on fast-moving containers with high accuracy.
  • Allows manual correction in case of missed or false detection.
  • Extract container numbers, ISO codes, operational markings, CSC plates, IMDG codes and certifications.
  • Data is stored securely with access via a cloud-based portal by contributing to efficient logistics automation solutions.
