Automating RTG/ASC crane operations with vision technology increases efficiency, safety, and control in container handling. Visy imaging applications automatically recognize the container IDs and verify that each is being recorded and the lift event information exchanged with TOS. The system has also functionality to prevent accidents by detecting lifting events where twistlocks have been mistakenly left attached to the container.
Visy Automatic Container Damage Detection System (ADDS) is the first commercially available solution for automatic container damage inspection. The solution uses modern AI software with line scan camera technologies in the gate area and PTZ-cameras in quayside to digitize the container condition.
Visy ADDS automatically recognizes structural and surface deformities in containers, such as dents and bulges, when trucks drive through detection portals or containers are being handled by STS cranes. Trucks no longer need to stop for manual damage inspections, which cuts the time spent at gate transactions and significantly decreases turnaround times. Automated inspection also allows terminal operators to move manpower from the yard to the office.
Visy ADDS can be inserted as a feature for Visy Truck OCR portals and Visy Crane OCR if automatic detection of other features such as container IDs, ISO codes, dangerous goods labels, door orientation, or seal presence are desired.
Visy RMG OCR images and identifies containers while they are being handled by RMG cranes. The system captures images of both short sides of containers to acquire identification data such as container IDs and ISO codes.
Fixed camera system is mounted on the legs or beams of the cranes in favorable height for the spreader’s flying paths and connected with PLC/CCS to trigger the imaging events. The camera system captures high-quality images, and the Visy container OCR software recognizes the attributes with high recognition rates of 98-99%. The digitized container data is exchanged with TOS in real-time to get the advantages of more accurate and efficient operations.
Visy Rail OCR Portal automatically images train traffic and extracts data from wagons and containers that are visiting the terminal. The imaging environment automates the whole management procedure by providing information and images of each wagon and cargo to the operating system in real time.
With Visy Rail OCR system, you can move manual work from rail tracks to the office. For instance, checking mechanical parts like brakes or chemical tanks’ covers can be automatically done by Visy OCR software. Each Visy Rail OCR system is customized with OCR features to support customer’s unique operations, including features such as wagon ID, wagon length, container ID, container length (20ft/40ft), cargo type, dangerous goods labels, and brake position.
Visy Rail OCR Portal utilizes Visy’s AI-powered container OCR software with line scan cameras, laser scanners, and efficient illuminators to capture high-quality images of all train sides in any environmental condition, regardless of possible dirt or damage, and even with speeds of up to 70 km/h. The system validates the captured data to hit high recognition rates of 97-99.5% and the high-quality images keep a record of container conditions, therefore helping rail terminal operators shed liabilities for containers that arrive damaged.
Visy AREA is an intelligent Real-Time Location System (RTLS) that tracks all vehicle movements and locations in real-time, making it an essential tool for efficient port operations. Powered by AI and vision technology, this advanced solution enhances existing surveillance by providing full transparency of vehicle and visitor movements, helping businesses optimize operations, reduce bottlenecks, and improve customer service.
For container terminals and ferry/RoRo terminals, Visy AREA’s Real Time Location System technology streamlines vehicle and container management by enabling real-time tracking of assets across the facility. It enhances security, minimizes the risk of misplaced containers, and reduces wait times by optimizing traffic flow. By monitoring vehicle and container locations continuously, operators can plan and execute operations with greater precision, ensuring smoother loading and unloading processes, and reducing downtime. The technology also improves safety by providing accurate, up-to-the-minute location data to avoid collisions and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Visy Alarm Gate is a system module with nonstop 24/7 operation for traffic control in law enforcement, customs, and border control. The system automatically images vehicles and recognizes license plates (supports multiple nationalities) with a system feature to notify of vehicles of interest.
Visy Alarm Gate can cover an unlimited number of checkpoints and cameras within a single centralized system solution. The solution supports recognition of vehicles, trains, containers, and dangerous goods labels with numerous identification and device options, including in-car cameras. Visy Alarm Gate is a flexible solution with various configurations and can be adjusted according to customer requirements.
Visy Access Gate is a highly versatile access and area control environment designed to automate and manage all traffic of visitors, vehicles, and personnel in industrial facilities and logistics centers. Automated recognition of vehicles, container IDs, and visitors, alongside personalized area guidance, complements production, ensures well-functioning traffic processes, and enhances the safety and security of the area. All of this is handled by our Smart Traffic Management System.
Visy Access Gate covers all access and area control needs with a large selection of recognition technologies and software tools. Access control features and equipment includes options such as RFID devices, self-service kiosks, intercom devices, and info displays. The desktop and web-based user applications provide tools and reporting functionalities for managing access permits and reviewing traffic events, helping to maintain efficient management of cargo and a smooth flow of traffic.
Visy TopView, a leading spreader OCR system, revolutionizes container handling by automatically identifying container IDs from the roofs of containers. This compact camera system is compatible with all types of equipment, making any spreader a smart device. Whether using container cranes or other container handling equipment, TopView seamlessly integrates with single, tandem, twin, and quad spreaders.
All components of Visy TopView are directly installed on the spreaders, including cameras, illuminators, and a recognition PC. Our intelligent container OCR software achieves recognition rates of up to 98%, ensuring that every cargo movement is accurately recorded. This reliability makes Visy TopView an essential tool for terminal operators, enhancing real-time data capture and smooth communication with other systems such as PDS or TOS.
Entrance Kiosks are self-service transaction checkpoints designed to streamline terminal visits by enabling visitors to manage all entry-related tasks, including registration, identification, and mandatory safety and security training. Entrance Kiosks reduce time spent in the gate area, minimize the need for gate clerks, and lower operating expenses. This results in shorter processing times, congestion-free gate areas, and an overall better visitor experience.
A smart gate process starts with a pre-gate event where Gate OCR Portals capture critical data, such as container IDs and license plates, using advanced imaging technology. Before reaching the main gate and interacting with the entrance kiosks, the Visy Access Gate processes the pre-gate data to prepare for validation. At the kiosk, the driver enters their booking number, scans their identification card, and completes mandatory safety training. Finally, Visy Access Gate validates the details and determines whether to grant or deny access.
