SeeCrane Container Recognition System

 

 

 

SeeCrane is a fully integrated OCR system that automatically reads and records the container ISO code number as it is handled by a crane. The system integrates with the crane control system for triggering and data processing purposes, and reports the resulting recognition information and image to the port's information network. This process establishes real-time automatic tracking of all handled containers.

Features

The system includes an array of high-performance camera units mounted on the crane structure. The camera configuration captures images for different combinations and sizes of containers as they are handled by the crane.

The Container Code Recognition (CCR) software analyzes the images, determines and verifies the resulting identification string ("TSGU1068635"), records the results and an image (selects the best image in the sequence), then transmits the results to a port computer. The entire process is automatic, and performed in real-time in a few seconds.
