Container OCR software for automated container identification

In modern container logistics, speed and accuracy are essential. Manual container identification slows operations, increases the risk of errors, and creates unnecessary administrative work. ConPDS provides advanced container OCR software designed to automate container identification and improve operational efficiency across depots, terminals, and logistics hubs.

Our solutions use AI‑powered vision and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to automatically read container numbers and codes from images or video streams. This allows logistics operators to eliminate manual data entry and gain real‑time visibility into container movements.

With ConPDS solutions such as ConPDS Checker and ConPDS Tracker, companies can streamline container handling processes and significantly improve accuracy in container identification.

What is container OCR and how it works

Container OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that allows software to automatically read and interpret container numbers, BIC codes, and other markings from images or video footage.

When a container moves through a gate, depot, or terminal, cameras capture images or video streams. The OCR system analyzes these visuals and converts the container code into digital text that can be used within operational systems.

This automated process enables:

  • Automatic container ID recognition
  • Faster gate processing
  • Accurate container tracking
  • Reduced manual data entry
  • Improved operational transparency

By implementing container OCR software, logistics facilities can drastically improve both efficiency and data accuracy.

ConPDS Checker for container OCR in depots

ConPDS Checker is a SaaS solution designed to simplify container inspections and identification within container depots and repair facilities. The system uses advanced container OCR technology to automatically recognize container IDs during inspections.

Key capabilities include:

  • Automated container ID recognition using OCR
  • Timestamped container photos
  • Secure cloud storage for inspection data
  • Standardized inspection documentation
  • Integration with depot management systems

With ConPDS Checker, inspectors can capture container photos while the software automatically records container numbers and associated data. This ensures accurate documentation and eliminates the need for manual input.

The platform is already used by container depots across Europe, processing thousands of containers every day.

ConPDS Tracker for real‑time container OCR

For high‑volume operations such as terminal gates and rail yards, ConPDS Tracker provides real‑time container OCR and container tracking.

Using AI‑powered video recognition, the system can identify containers automatically as they move through operational areas.

Key features include:

  • Real‑time container identification from video streams
  • AI‑powered vision for accurate container recognition
  • Automated logging of container movements
  • Integration with terminal operating systems
  • Support for multiple camera setups

Because ConPDS Tracker processes video streams in milliseconds, it enables logistics facilities to maintain smooth traffic flow while automatically recording container events.

This technology reduces delays at gates and provides reliable operational data for container management systems.

Benefits of container OCR software for logistics operations

Implementing container OCR software provides several operational advantages for logistics companies managing container flows.

Key benefits include:

  • Eliminating manual container number entry
  • Increasing accuracy of container identification
  • Speeding up container gate operations
  • Improving container tracking and documentation
  • Reducing operational costs and human errors
  • Enabling real‑time operational visibility

ConPDS container OCR solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing logistics systems and infrastructure. This ensures that organizations can adopt automation without disrupting existing workflows.
