OCR SOFTWARE FOR CONTAINER CODE RECOGNITION
CARMEN® AUTOMATIC CONTAINER CODE RECOGNITION (ACCR)
is created to extract and read the identification codes of ISO 6346 intermodal containers. This ISO code reading capability of shipping containers makes logistics environments more intelligent by building comprehensive databases tracking container movement, automating and simplifying railway or harbor logistics, assisting border control and container surveillance systems. CARMEN® ACCR reads the container codes from digital still images, digital image flow or live video signal. The unique serial number with check digit, owner, country code, size, type and equipment category as well as operational marks (if any) of every cargo container are returned with the highest accuracy available on the market.Additional Info

DESCRIPTION:
DESCRIPTION
CARMEN® ACCR offers the advantage to automatically recognize any vertically and horizontally aligned international standard container codes:
- ISO 6346 (BIC)
- MOCO (Montan Container)
- ILU (European Intermodal Loading Units)
- and dimension codes
The image source can either be analog or digital IP cameras. By adding illumination to the cameras, the software is able to adapt to the environmental changes for a smooth 24/7 operation. It is fast, easy and straightforward to use.
CARMEN® ACCR has the capability to receive multiple images from multiple image sources to process the same container code and ensure high recognition accuracy.
Its development libraries (DLL, SO) allow flexible integration on both Windows and Linux platforms. In server mode CARMEN® ACCR is able to perform parallel processing and handling of unlimited camera inputs.

ISO CONTAINER CODE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE LIBRARY AND SDK
 The dedicated OCR engine greatly assists in the management of container or freight logistic tasks and in the surveillance of transporter movements. |
 Effective automated license plate reading can simplify border surveillance in all environments and even of fast-moving vehicles. |
 The movements of all containers are followed by the assured reading of any type of code (ISO 6346, MOCO, UIC). |
 The software’s unique ability to read any label with characters and export the necessary data to any network or database, makes it a great tool for inventory management. |
 The OCR engine’s SDK allows easy integration with any database or management network. |
 The software can provide ITS or other patrol cars with live OCR-based surveillance updates about the transport of freight, HAZMAT or shipping containers. |
