Automatically read container codes.
Tracking ISO intermodal shipping containers requires not simply reading the container code, but making associations with other key data that tells you where the container is in your yard, what's in it, where it's going, and how it will get there. Container code readers from Perceptics automatically capture codes from our high resolution imagers, and convert that information via our multi-expert OCR into machine- and human-readable content. Perceptics offers both rear and side container code readers for optimal ISO code reading in the event there are damaged codes on the container. Pair the rear and side imagers together for maximum container data capture.
