How It Works

From Detection to Audit Trail

From camera feed to logged event in under a second. Container code, truck plate, GPS and photo — all captured automatically.

01
📷

Camera Captures

Any IP camera at a gate or inspection point captures the container as it passes. No special hardware needed.

02
🧠

AI Reads the Code

Metrici locates and reads the ISO 6346 code — horizontal, vertical or upside-down, any font, any colour, partial occlusion handled.

03
🔗

Cross-Check & Match

The container code is matched against the vehicle license plate (LPR) and any manifest or whitelist in the database.

04
💾

Log & Alert

Every event is saved with code, timestamp, GPS, direction and photo. Alerts fire instantly for missing codes or manifest mismatches.

ISO 6346 Compliant — Decodes the Full Container Code

Metrici reads and validates all four ISO 6346 components in real time: owner prefix (4 letters), equipment category (1 letter), serial number (6 digits) and check digit. Invalid checksums trigger an instant alert.

Codes can appear on the side, roof or door of a container, in any orientation. Metrici handles all of them without configuration changes.

Why Metrici CCR

Business Benefits

Transform container operations from manual data entry to fully automated, error-free tracking.

✏️

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

No more clipboard logging or keyboard entry. Every ISO 6346 code is read, validated and saved automatically — zero human intervention.

🛑

Prevent Cargo Mismatches

Cross-check container codes against truck plates and manifests in real time. Alert instantly when a container-truck pair doesn’t match expectations.

Accelerate Gate Throughput

Read codes at full vehicle speed. No stopping, no slowing down. Containers are identified and logged as they pass through the gate.

📑

Full Regulatory Compliance

Every event is logged with code, timestamp, GPS, direction and photo. Exportable audit trails meet customs and trade compliance requirements.

💰

Reuse Existing Cameras

Deploy on IP cameras you already own. No RFID tags, no barcodes, no container modification. Pure software on infrastructure you have.

Capabilities

Beyond Code Reading — Full Logistics Intelligence

Container OCR is the foundation. LPR cross-checks, GPS tracking, photo evidence and external integrations make it a complete logistics platform.

🔄

All Orientations

Reads codes horizontal, vertical and upside-down. Works regardless of font, paint colour or partial weathering.

🚗

LPR Cross-Check

Matches each container code to the license plate of the truck carrying it. Alert if the pair doesn’t match the manifest.

📍

GPS Coordinates

Every read event is stored with GPS coordinates for precise location logging across an entire port or logistics network.

📷

Photo per Event

Full photographic evidence saved for every container detected — timestamped and searchable in the Metrici interface.

⚠️

Mismatch Alerts

Instant alert when a container is not on the expected manifest, belongs to a watchlist, or when the code cannot be read.

🔗

External Integration

Sends read events via HTTP POST to port management systems, customs software or any third-party logistics platform.

Industry Applications

Deployed Across the Supply Chain

From port gates to rail yards, customs checkpoints to manufacturing sites — container OCR at every handoff point.

⛴️

Port & Terminal Gates

Log every container entering or leaving. Match to truck plate and manifest automatically at full vehicle speed.

🚛

Truck & Plate Cross-Check

Each container code is automatically paired with the license plate of the truck carrying it. Alert if they don’t match the manifest.

⚖️

Weighing Stations

Container code + weight + truck plate captured in one pass at the weighbridge. Fully automated, paperless record.

🏭

Logistics & Distribution Yards

Track containers from arrival dock to storage bay to dispatch. Photo evidence and GPS at every checkpoint.

🛃

Customs & Border Control

Flag containers on a watchlist instantly. Alert officers in real time. Full audit trail for every crossing event.

🔍

Cargo Inspection

Identify containers selected for physical inspection before they reach the dock. Pre-alert inspectors with decoded code and photo.

📋

Regulatory Compliance

Automatic documentation for every container movement. Exportable logs meet international trade and customs compliance requirements.

🚉

Rail & Intermodal Hubs

Read codes on containers as they are loaded onto rail wagons. Verify transfer manifests and log each wagon-container pairing.

🏭

Manufacturing & Warehousing

Track raw material containers through a production site. Know what arrived, where it went, and when it left.

🏗

Depots & Storage Yards

Automate container check-in and check-out at storage facilities. Full movement history per container unit.

🚧

Intelligent Transport Systems

Feed container read events into traffic management platforms for automated routing, slot booking.
