Rail OCR
Container Identification
CERTUS Rail OCR systems create a closed loop to all tracks at an intermodal or on dock rail facility in order to identify and trace all containers as well as rail cars throughout the facility.
C-Train is a fully integrated rail OCR system that automatically reads and records the container ISO code numbers as the train travels on its tracks. It works well as a portal system either at the entry and/or exit rail tracks of the terminal or any other intermodal facilities.
Proprietary integrated hardware and software systems are included in C-Train. It incorporates the Container Code Recognition (CCR) software engine and utilizes rugged high-resolution camera systems with pulsed solid-state LED illuminators.

Rail Car Identification – Rail Car Identification uses RFID tags on cars and OCR of Rail Car numbers. It combines this with existing car data. This provides a complete picture of car size, type, and capacity.
Container Identification – Container Identification uses OCR of containers at key entry and exit points. A portal system provides data including:
- Container Number
- Container size / type
- Container Position – Well location, Top, Bottom
- Validated information against the railroad consist (EDI 418)
Location of Rail Cars – The CERTUS system provides both track number and order of cars on each track. It uses a series of wheel counters, system logic, and RFID tag readers.

C-Train shares the container and rail car identifications with a central server system. One or more client applications can intercept the messages on the server for data recording and/or further processing. It can also interface with the terminal load-lists and manifests for enhanced recognition performance.
