Detection pin position
In addition to the detection of common characters, such as UIC wagon numbers, container codes or dangerous goods signs, other possibilities of automated image recognition and processing are increasingly in demand.
Therefore our development department will deal with the design process of “detection pin position”.
The position of the pins on container wagons plays a major role in the logistical disposition in transshipment terminals. The earlier the dispatcher knows about the condition of the pins, the faster containers can be assigned to empty carrier wagons ready to receive them.
So what could be more logical than to generate this information when a train arrives and transmit it to the Terminal Operator System via image viewing and processing? Detection will be based on the principle of " pin down or ready for use".
