One of the symbols of continually increasing international trade is the container. In order to cope
with the increased traffic at container terminals, it is necessary to increase the automation of container handling.
Automated systems require each
and every container to be unambiguously identifiable. Metaphorically speaking, every container
needs a number plate. This is the
purpose of the labeling, as specified in ISO 6346.
Industrial cameras record these
labels at four strategic points in
the container terminal: the ship-toshore gantry cranes, the stockyard,
the train entrance and the truck
entrance.
This approach allows the handling
of containers to be highly auto-
mated throughout the duration
of their transit through the container terminal. Consequently, the
terminal‘s capacity can be increased and costly expansions can be
avoided.
Security is another key aspect:
Containers may contain „undesirable“ goods. The complete registration of containers makes it almost
impossible to avoid customs and
security checks.
On the other hand, containers that
are members of the C-TPAT
p
­ rogram (Container Trade
P
­ artnership Treaty) can avoid the
time-­ onsuming security checks.
