OCR operations on intermodal trains are becoming key components of the global supply chain. Various shipping companies and their partners have begun to adopt intermodal transport options in an effort to minimize consumer prices and the environmental effect of cargo traffic by using tracking technology solutions deployed by many European and North American railroads and freight operators.

Suraj Informatics Rail OCR Portal helps to deal with this recent surge by leveraging proven automation methods to boost productivity while decreasing operating expenses. The Train OCR Portal is the next stage in dramatically improving the tracking and identification of containerized cargo traveling by rail.

How Does IT Function-

Railway OCR software has been created, allowing operators to process each train passage. Using saved photos, operational and input concerns can be resolved. After checking all of the data, the Train OCR software delivers everything to the system, resulting in a completely integrated system that creates a speedy, precise, and safe rail handling system.

The leaving Rail terminal provides an advance list of all loaded trains and cargo. This list is compared to the data read by the cameras on the rail ocr portal so that a given train number can be linked to a specific channel beneath the rail portal and the exact position of each container on an identifiable railcar can be returned.

This identifies, tracks, and archives the image and equipment number information of a passing train using trackside AEI readers, high-resolution CCTV cameras, and other Train OCR software. All of this information is gathered and combined to create a fully automated container-to-railcar association that eliminates the need for manual train inventories or Track Standing Orders (TSO). Furthermore, Rail OCR Software can capture damage inspection images, allowing for the verification of equipment condition and damage during arrival and departure.
