OCR Studio Releases Fast and Accurate Logistics Technology with Shipping Container Recognition on Mobile Phone

OCR Studio has launched new shipping container recognition technology to increase the speed and automation of international logistics and global supply chains. The solution provides recognition of the ISO container numbers and automates the number registration, verification of compliance with the transportation document data, accounting and compilation of summary and settlement statements. Installed on smartphones or tablets, OCR Studio’s software allows real-time container location tracking, eliminating errors by service personnel during processing container cargo.

The new technology is poised to redefine efficiency across a wide range of logistics applications. At ports and terminals, where thousands of containers are processed daily, manual data entry has long been a bottleneck. By deploying OCR Studio’s AI-powered recognition, operators can now scan ISO 6346-compliant container numbers in real time, even under challenging conditions such as poor lighting, weathered labels, or angled views, reducing vehicle downtime while waiting for clearance. 

The system enables deciphering alphanumeric codes of intermodal containers with the highest accuracy, regardless of font variations, dirt, or damage. Beyond ports, the solution integrates seamlessly with warehouses, rail yards, and trucking networks, providing end-to-end visibility as containers move through complex multimodal routes. 

By automating container identification, companies can drastically reduce processing times while minimizing labor costs associated with manual checks. This efficiency gain translates into faster turnaround times for ships, trucks, and trains, easing congestion at critical nodes and improving asset utilization. Customs agencies and border control authorities can also leverage OCR Studio’s technology to streamline inspections, reduce delays, and enhance security by cross-referencing container data against global databases instantly.  

OCR Studio develops cutting-edge software for fast and secure data analysis and extraction. The company offers a range of products as standalone software development kits (SKDs), allowing seamless integration with mobile apps, web applications, desktop systems, and server environments. OCR Studio's innovative technology efficiently recognizes various document types, including passports and ID cards, and can read barcodes, payment cards, shipping container codes and more.
