Carmen® OCR ContainerCode – Automatic Container Code Recognition
Carmen® OCR ContainerCode is a software development kit that recognizes standardized container codes from still images. Supporting ISO 6346 (BIC), ILU, and MOCO formats, it reads shipping container IDs from photos taken in ports, terminals, rail yards, or airports.
The engine delivers high-accuracy results with character-by-character confidence levels and optional best-image tracking. The SDK runs on Windows and Linux systems, and supports both x86_64 and ARM platforms. It is ideal for integrating into logistics, surveillance, and gate automation systems where automatic identification is essential.
Key benefits:
- Recognizes ISO 6346 (BIC), ILU, and MOCO container codes
- Input from still images (BMP, PNG, JPEG, RAW)
- Output includes code text, location, and per-character confidence
- Compatible with hardware triggers for video-to-still extraction
- Runs on Windows 64-bit and Linux 32/64-bit (x86/ARM)
- Supports C/C++, Java, C#, and Visual Basic .NET
- Easy integration with demo apps and developer libraries
- Includes NNC (Neural Network Controller) for performance boost
- Updated four times a year to ensure accuracy and compliance
Whether automating port operations or integrating into custom logistics software, Carmen® OCR ContainerCode helps reduce manual work, minimize errors, and speed up container processing across global supply chains.
