Container Number Recognition System for Effective Loading and Unloading Management
VECON-THO is an automated container number recognition system which aims to enhance the operation efficiency of Yard Operations at Container Ports and Inland Container Depots (ICD). The Top Handler OCR (VECON-THO) System enables efficient and accurate container movements at yard and quay for the ports and container terminal industries.
It automatically captures, recognizes, records, and verifies the container ID numbers during the container loading or unloading operation, ensuring accurate containers movement and streamlining the operation at the yard. The system is able to perform under harsh conditions found in the marine terminal environment. It can be remotely monitored and/or controlled via WLAN connection.
System Operation
In the current operation, the system automatically performs real-time capture and recognition of the container number and verifies the container ID numbers when the Top Handler grabs a container. At the same time, the collected data is transferred to the back end system through wireless LAN.
