Improving Yard Accuracy

With Stacker OCR on the empty handlers, the terminal can automatically capture container codes during yard operations, herewith eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors.

The solution combines advanced optical character recognition (OCR) with precise location tracking from the terminal’s positioning detection system. This powerful integration ensures that the exact location of every container in the stack is confirmed. As a result yard visibility is improved, downtime reduced, and workplace safety enhanced.

Seamless Integration with Terminal Systems

The solution integrates effortlessly with Maher's terminal systems by transmitting container identification data directly to the Terminal Operating System (TOS), the positioning detection system, or both at the same time.
