Optical Character Recognition (OCR) solutions from ABB, whether at the gate or the quay cranes, enable you to reach three major improvements in one:
- Automatic recording of container weight and submitting the information to other systems
- Automatic identification of the container and terminal tractor, ensuring that the right container finds its way to the right place
- Safer container handling as people will be relocated from under the quay crane or gate complex to a remote exception handling desk.
Translated into numbers, our OCR solutions have resulted in:
- Three more container moves per hour at the quay
- 22 % increase in throughput
- 83% decrease in truck turnaround time
- Return on investment in as little as 3 months
OCR solutions are available no matter which weighing method or where in the process you choose to weigh the containers.
