TREX-CONTAINER


Automatic Container Code Recognition (ACCR),
Container Damage Inspection (CDI) and
Automatic License / Number Plate Recognition (ALPR / ANPR) solution.

TREX-CONTAINER incorporates state-of-the-art high-resolution digital cameras, LED illumination technology and image processing algorithms.

Then, as a truck arrives at a checkpoint (gate, barrier, weighbridge…), the solution automatically captures :

  • The code of each container.
  • The number/license plate of both the truck and the trailer transporting the container.
  • High-resolution images of the truck and container.
TREX-CONTAINER is the ideal solution to ensure the automatic and efficient control of container transport and storage.

Actually, the solution TREX-CONTAINER is designed to :

  • Automatically recognize the license plate of the truck and trailer as well as the code of each container.
  • Capture high-resolution inspection images for container damage detection (inspection version).
  • Integrate and manage road traffic control equipment: traffic lights, barrier, VMS, sensors…
  • Manage access permissions to traffic lanes.
  • Export all collected data to an SQL database, an XML file, a web service…
  • Interface easily with external systems: weighbridge, X-ray inspection, TOS…
  • Be flexible, scalable, adaptable to any infrastructure
  • Simplify, accelerate and secure the control of the trucks and cargo.
  • Allow remote maintenance.
  • Be fully automatic and efficient 24/7

Benefits

benef - accelerate

Accelerates traffic
through the automatic identification of convoys without having to stop the trucks.

benef - reduce-costs

Reduced management costs
resulting from automatic container code and truck/trailer license plate recognition.

benef - suppr

Increases human safety
due to clerks no longer being required to go into lanes to check trucks.

Benef - reduce

Reduces risk of claims
by capturing high-resolution images of container and cargo.

benef-simplify

Simplifies the control
of container transport.

benef - integrate

Easy integration
with external systems such as weighing systems, TOS (Terminal Operating System), kiosks…

benef-security

Enhances safety
when interfaced with cargo X-ray inspection systems…

Technical CHARACTERISTICS

  • Automatic Container Code Recognition per international standard ISO 6346, regardless of the size of transported containers (20, 40, double 20 feet).
  • Automatic License/Number Plate Recognition (ALPR/ANPR) of truck and trailer. OCR compatible with license plates from over 80 countries, including Latin, Arabic and Cyrillic plates.
  • Capture of high-resolution images of the surfaces of the containers for damage detection with details of less than 2mm (Inspection version).
  • Exportation and importation of all data collected during each passage through an XML file, an SQL database (PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server …) and its web service, or via a specific protocol : date and time, site, lane, code of each container, plate number of the truck and trailer, container inspection high-resolution images, images of the passage…
  • Fully automated and efficient system 24/7.
  • Integration :
    • with external host systems : TOS, X-ray inspection, weighbridge…
    • with traffic control equipment : traffic lights, barriers, variable message sign (VMS), sensors …
  • Maximum truck speeds up to 20 km/h.
  • Equipments :
    • Industrial high-resolution cameras and high-performance
    • LED illumination for maximum performance.
    • Pre-wired outdoor connection box for simple and fast deployment of the equipment (circuit breaker, industrial switch, Ethernet I/O module, power supplies, industrial connectors…).
  • Softwares :
