Visy Truck OCR
Advanced container OCR and cargo data collection for automated gate operations.
Capturing and digitizing road cargo traffic at the gate, automatically and without interruption.
The Visy Truck OCR Portal images and digitizes road cargo traffic as vehicles drive through the portal – without interrupting traffic flow. Combining Visy’s proven machine vision and AI-based OCR software with high-performance line scan and area scan camera technologies, the system recognizes container IDs, ISO codes, IMO and ADR labels, seal presence, license plates, and door direction with market leading accuracy of 97–99.5%, even at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Recognized data is instantly shared with terminal and logistics systems – TOS, GOS, ERP, or other third-party platforms – ensuring that only authorized vehicles and cargo pass through the gate. The system operates reliably 24/7 in all weather conditions, from -40°C to +50°C, making it a dependable backbone of automated gate operations at container terminals, logistics centers, industrial sites, and border control points.

All data captured at the portal is instantly available across connected systems, making the OCR event a starting point for a broader automated workflow – not just a gate record.
When a vehicle passes through the portal, the recognized identifiers are matched against booking data in the Terminal Operating System. If everything checks out, access is granted automatically without manual intervention. If there is a mismatch – a wrong container, an unexpected seal, or a missing booking – the event is flagged for exception handling directly in the Visy Access Gate interface, where operators can review the images and resolve the issue without leaving the system.
Weight and dimension data captured by the optional Visy Measurement Portal flows into the same transaction record, supporting vessel loading planning and eliminating the need for separate weighing steps elsewhere in the process.
For sites with Visy ADDS enabled, container condition images are captured and digitized at the point of entry or exit – creating a documented record of the container’s state that can be shared with carriers, customers, or customs without additional inspection steps.
Utilizing vision technology in gate automation ensures that each enter and exit is verified and recorded
