DESTINY workshop on OCR technologies (Mannheim) 17/10/13

Intermodal terminals are challenged by increasing requirements for checking and documenting their gate processes. It is not only that safety and security are relevant but also the liability change. The European Norm EN 13044 (2010) standardizes the identification of intermodal loading units. Against that background camera portals and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies have been implemented in numerous ports, but also some continental intermodal terminals.

Key users and their suppliers shared their experiences on a workshop on “Gate automation with OCR-technologies” on 17.October 2013 in Mannheim (Germany) which was accompanied with a visit to the KTL terminal in Ludwigshafen, where camera portals have been installed on the rail and road side, recently. This workshop has been organised in the framework of the Marco Polo project DESTINY.
