Automated gate check-in

Check the truck, the container and the booking together at the gate, so approved arrivals move through without manual checks. Gate staff check the truck plate, container number and booking separately, often in different systems.

The problem

Why it matters.

Gate staff check the truck plate, container number and booking separately, often in different systems. Trucks queue, and wrong combinations get through to cause problems in the yard.

What it detects and measures

  • The truck’s number plate as it arrives
  • The container number on the truck
  • Whether the truck and container are an approved combination
  • Whether the arrival matches an expected booking or approved movement
  • Exceptions that need a person to check

How it works

Set up in four steps.

Self-service, in the browser, on the cameras you already own.

  1. 01Connect

    Uses the cameras already covering the gate lanes. No new hardware.

  2. 02Set the rule

    Connect your expected arrivals and approved truck and container combinations from your operational system.

  3. 03Measure

    Reads the truck plate and container number, and checks both against the approved list.

  4. 04Act

    Approved arrivals send an approval to the gate workflow. Mismatches are flagged as an exception for gate staff.

Alerts and results

What your team gets.

Alerts reach the person who can act, with the time, place and frame. Every event is kept for reporting.

No expected arrival for this truckHeld for a manual check

For operations

  • Fewer manual checks at the gate
  • Wrong combinations caught before entry

For the business

  • Shorter gate queues and faster truck turnaround
  • Fewer errors that cause problems later in the yard
  • One check instead of duplicate approvals across systems
  • Gate staff focused on exceptions, not routine checks

Demonstration footage. Some clips are AI-generated with Google Flow. Others are sample videos from Intel (CC BY 4.0; changes were made: clips are trimmed and overlaid), OpenCV sample data and Mixkit. Detection boxes come from an object-detection model run on each clip; labels and metric values are illustrative.
