Container tracking must not be the weakest point in supply chain
"The gate is a constant bottleneck for our throughput.”
1.
Trucks are queuing at the gate because staff must manually record container IDs. Every minute of delay ripples through your entire supply chain, leading to frustrated drivers and missed shipping windows.
"One typo leads to a 'lost' container and a logistical nightmare."
2.
Transcription errors lead to incorrect stacking, "missing" inventory, and expensive insurance claims. Relying on human eyes to read weathered codes in a high-speed environment is a massive liability.
"Sending staff into active traffic lanes is a permanent safety issue."
3.
Operational safety is compromised every time a worker has to walk into a high-traffic lane to read a dented or obscured code.
"The system gives up as soon as a container is dirty or it starts raining."
4.
Standard OCR tools often fail when containers are dirty, dented, or the day is is rainy. These failures force a fallback to slow manual processes exactly when your operations are already stressed by the weather.
Intelligent recognition is the future of asset tracking
Container code recognition is an automated technology, often using OCR and AI-based deep learning, that identifies ISO 6346 shipping container numbers including owner, serial, type codes or hazardous goods symbols in real-time. By moving beyond the limitations of manual recording, Isarsofts video analytics bridges the gap between physical arrival and digital verification. Our software approach eliminates terminal chokepoints and human error, transforming raw video into a fast and accurate logistics engine that keeps your terminal moving.

Integration
Infrastructure
Manual / legacy OCR
High risk of "typos" and misread characters
Slow; requires trucks to stop or staff to walk into lanes
Personnel must enter high-traffic areas; high risk of injury
Often fails in rain or low light, requiring manual fallback
Captures the code only; no visual audit trail
Difficult to sync with modern Terminal Operating Systems
Requires expensive, fixed "OCR Portals"
Container code recognition with Video Analytics
Trained to recognize "distorted" or dirty ISO codes
Captures codes at full speed without stopping the vehicle
Staff remain in the control room; remote detection
Optimized for 24/7 operation in severe weather
Pairs the ISO code with LPR and high-res images
Syncys to TOS, VMS, or ERP via MQTT and REST API
Uses existing IP cameras and scales across the terminal

FAQ
Can't find the answer to your question?
Contact us now!
Do I need to install an "OCR Portal" to use Isarsoft Perception?
No. One of our core advantages is being hardware-independent. Isarsoft Perception works with any standard IP camera that supports RTSP or ONVIF streams, allowing you to turn your existing security infrastructure into a high-performance container code recognition system without additional hardware investment.Learn more about supported cameras.
Which Video Management Systems (VMS) does Isarsoft integrate with?
We offer seamless integration with industry-leading platforms like Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Qognify VMS. This ensures that license plate data, vehicle metadata (MMR), and automated alarms are delivered directly into your existing operational dashboard. Learn more about VMS.
Does Isarsoft integrate with my existing Terminal Operating System (TOS)?
Yes, Isarsoft is designed with an API-first approach. We provide seamless data handovers via MQTT and REST API, ensuring that recognized codes are instantly matched against your manifests in your TOS, ERP, or VMS.
Is Isarsoft Perception privacy compliant?
Yes, Isarsoft Perception complies with relevant privacy policies such as the GDPR. Additionally Isarsoft is ISO 27001 certified by TÜV Süd, underscoring our commitment to the highest standards of privacy, information security and risk management.
Where is the data processed?
Depending on the version, Isarsoft Perception can be installed on cameras, edge and server hardware. Data processing takes place locally and does not require an Internet connection. The collected, anonymous metadata can be transmitted to third-party systems for further processing.
Can the Isarsoft Perception read codes on moving trains or high-speed trucks?
Yes. The system is optimized for "Free-Flow" environments. It can capture and digitize codes in seconds as vehicles pass through the gate, eliminating the need for trucks or trains to come to a complete stop for manual recording.
Can Isarsoft Perception low-light or bad weather conditions?
Our software is trained on diverse, high-density datasets. The system maintains high-precision tracking even in challenging environments or varying weather conditions. Generally speaking, when a human can detect an object under extreme conditions, a camera and Isarsoft Perception can as well.
How does Isarsoft handle dirty, dented, or faded container codes?
Our AI is specifically trained on "industrial grit." Unlike traditional OCR that requires clean, flat surfaces, Isarsoft Perception recognizes ISO 6346 codes even when they are partially obscured by dirt, scratched, or viewed at difficult angles.
How does Isarsoft help with insurance and liability claims?
For every container recognized, the system can pair the ID code with the vehicle’s license plate and an image of the container’s condition, providing a digital audit trail for damage claims.
How does Isarsoft Perception help improving on-site safety for my staff?
By automating the recognition process, you remove the need for "boots on the ground." Staff no longer need to enter dangerous, high-traffic lanes or climb structures to read codes; all data is captured remotely and monitored from the safety of the control room.
