Gate automation: OCR, RFID and barrier

The camera sees. PreGate verifies.

Plate, container number and visible markings are read; low-confidence reads and exceptions go to a clerk.

In product

Target One pre-validated lane transaction with no exceptions. Not the total port visit, not a guarantee, and not yet measured in the field.

A truck at an automatic gate: overhead OCR cameras, an RFID antenna, an information display and a barrier

OCR, RFID and automatic gate

From vehicle identity to controlled passage

  1. 01 Overhead OCR cameras

    Container number, ISO code and visible markings

  2. 02 RFID antennas

    The vehicle tag and registered identity are matched with the booking

  3. 03 Information display

    Shows the route to the truck park or the terminal

  4. 04 Automatic barrier

    Opens on PreGate approval and safety conditions

What it does

  • OCR reads front and rear plates, container number with ISO 6346 check digit, ISO type code, IMO hazard labels and seal presence.
  • Damage detection: dents, holes and tears, with photo evidence attached to the Visit ID.
  • Line agent detected automatically from the owner code (BIC prefix) and matched to the TOS record.
  • RFID matches the tag to the truck and the booking; a tag alone is not a permit.
  • Weighbridge, barrier or turnstile control, kiosk, printed or digital EIR.
  • Event classes: Critical stops the barrier, Warning is flagged, Cleared is recorded.
  • If read confidence is low, a remote clerk screen opens.

OCR

Visual data

Cameras on the inverted-U gantry and at the sides read the plate, container number and visible markings. Low-confidence reads go to review.

RFID

Identity match

Matches the tag to the truck and the booking. RFID alone does not authorise a driver or a load.

PLC

Controlled barrier

A timed passage command goes out when eligibility and safety conditions hold. A sensor confirms the physical passage.

Seal presence is not the same as reading a seal number. The content of a closed container cannot be determined for certain by an outside camera. Modules such as damage and weighing are chosen per site.
