STS crane OCR system enhances automation in quay operations to streamline container tracking and boost efficiency

STS crane OCR system enhances automation in quay operations by leveraging advanced optical character recognition. Crane OCR system for ship-to-shore (STS) cranes automatically images all container sides and recognizes container IDs, ISO codes, dangerous goods labels (IMDG, ADR), and other targets of interest such as seal presence and door direction, while containers are being handled by cranes, additionally, it can recognize level of damage for a container before being handled by the STS crane.

With years of industry experience, our team handles every aspect of the construction process, your project runs smoothly and efficiently. We prioritize open communication, timely delivery, and quality workmanship to exceed your expectations. Trust us to provide innovative solutions that.

Exceptional performance

Due to a harsh operating environment and multiple parallel functions, the STS Crane OCR system setup and equipment environment utilizes special cameras mounted on the portal beams and crane legs without moving parts to enhance system reliability and durability. The PTZ cameras are easily controlled to provide an optimal view for all lifting cases and interface with PLC to accurately calculate flight paths to optimize the imaging moment. Visy container OCR software digitizes the required attributes of captured high-quality images and brings the data available in real-time in Visy Crane Gate application and TOS.

STS Crane OCR features according to your operations

All our Crane OCR applications are designed according to the operational needs of each customer. The system setup is chosen case by case to support all container handling cases, lifting types (twin, single, tandem, quad, tank), and spreader flying paths, as well as backreach and platform operations. Container OCR features and other recognitions (for example terminal tractors / license plates) are set and customized according to the customer requirements to support and cover the entire container handling process. TOP View Image identifies container IDs from the roofs of containers. The solution consists of robust cameras installed in the middle and both ends of spreaders with efficient illuminators to capture high-quality images regardless of the time of day or environmental conditions. Visy TopView prevents time-consuming false moves and incorrect stacking locations thus verifying that loading and unloading processes proceed as planned.
