Container number recognition
Read container numbers automatically at gates and yards, so fewer details are keyed in by hand. Container numbers are read and keyed in by hand at the gate, from markings that are often worn or damaged.
Why it matters.
Container numbers are read and keyed in by hand at the gate, from markings that are often worn or damaged. A wrong number means misplaced containers and disputes.
What it detects and measures
- The container number, from horizontal or vertical markings
- Numbers in different layouts, including worn or partly damaged characters
- Several markings on the same container, compared to confirm the number
- When each container passes the gate or enters the yard
- Numbers that can’t be read with confidence, flagged for a manual check
Typical applications
Set up in four steps.
Self-service, in the browser, on the cameras you already own.
- 01Connect
Uses cameras that see containers as they pass the gate or enter the yard. No dedicated gate hardware needed.
- 02Set the rule
Choose the gates and lanes to watch, and where the results are sent.
- 03Measure
Reads the container number from each visible side, compares them to confirm the number, and records it with the time and an image.
- 04Act
When a number can’t be confirmed, gate staff are asked to check it before the container goes through.
What your team gets.
Alerts reach the person who can act, with the time, place and frame. Every event is kept for reporting.
For operations
- Fewer numbers keyed in by hand at the gate
- An image record of every container that passes
For the business
- Faster gate processing with fewer staff
- Fewer recording errors and disputes about container movements
- An affordable option for smaller depots
- A complete record for audits, damage claims and billing
Often measured on the same cameras.
The same gate camera can read the truck’s plate and the container number together.
Automated gate check-in
Check the truck, the container and the booking together at the gate, so approved arrivals move through without manual checks.
