BLOG: What features do I need on an Crane OCR?

CERTUS Crane OCR automatically captures every container move during the loading and discharge at the vessel operations. But what data should it capture? This mostly depends on the type of container terminal and whether it is mostly transshipment or import/export. In general, we often see the following:

MOST COMMON FEATURES

Of course, the most basic feature of our Crane OCR system is the ability to recognize the Container Code and ISO Code. Other features which are most commonly applied are:

TERMINAL
TRACTOR ID

5-SIDES
DAMAGE IMAGES

SEAL DETECTION

HAZARDOUS LABEL RECOGNITION

MORE ADVANCED FEATURES

The higher the automation at the container yard, the higher the requirements are on the OCR system. Features we see often with customers with an automated yard are:

DOOR
DIRECTION

WEIGHT
RECOGNITION

TWIST LOCK DETECTION

DAMAGE ALARM

Besides above features, CERTUS also offers recognition of hatch covers and other special moves like moving gear boxes. We believe every move shall be identified!
