OCR Technology

Fewer errors, faster processing, improved efficiency for yard operators. With automatic recognition of container numbers, license plates, ISO codes, and chassis, the integrated OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on tablets transforms manual data entry into a fast, accurate, and reliable digital process.
Say goodbye to errors, delays, and duplicate entries as information is instantly captured and transmitted to your system.

Benefits

Each automated capture saves valuable time for gate agents, reduces truck driver wait times, and streamlines the overall depot workflow.

  • Faster: save up to 5 minutes per container at the Gate
  • More accurate: 98% accuracy rate—even at night or in harsh weather conditions
  • Smoother flow: less queuing for transporters means more truck rotations per day
  • More comfortable: operators stay efficient and focused, even during peak periods

Where is OCR used?

  • At the depot gate: automatic reading of truck license plates, container numbers, chassis IDs, ISO codes, and more
  • In emergency or mobile situations ( at the terminal or on board ): ensures data accuracy during mobile or time-sensitive operations
  • During EMR processes: used during Washing, PTI, or any workflow requiring container number verification

Real-world use case in an ICD

Before

Operators manually typed container numbers

After

With tablet-based OCR, data is captured in under 2 minutes with 98% accuracy and instantly integrated into the system. Time saved: 75%

“Before, we had to type the same number three times and still made mistakes. Now, one photo is all it takes—everything is filled in automatically.”
