The global supply chain increasingly depends heavily on intermodal train operations. Utilizing the tracking technology solutions put in place by many European and North American railroads and freight operators, many shipping companies and their partners have started to use intermodal transport options in an effort to lower costs to their customers and the environmental impact of cargo traffic.

Utilizing tested automation methods to boost productivity and reduce operating costs, Suraj Informatics Rail OCR Portal helps manage this recent growth. The Rail OCR Portal is the following step in offering substantially better tracking and identification of containerized freight being transported by rail.

How Does IT Work–

How IT Operates

It has been built to process every train passage using railway OCR software. Using saved photos, operational and input issues can be fixed. The Train OCR program verifies all the data before sending it to the system, creating a completely integrated system that produces a quick, accurate, and secure rail handling system.

An advance list of all loaded trains and cargo is provided by the departing Rail terminal. This list is compared to the information gathered by the cameras on the rail ocr portal in order to correlate a certain train number to a particular path under the rail portal and determine the precise location of each container on a given railcar.

Using trackside AEI scanners, high-resolution CCTV cameras, and other Train OCR software, this recognizes, monitors, and archives the picture and equipment number information of a passing train. This data is collected, aggregated, and used to build a fully automated container-to-railcar association that does not require manual train inventories or Track Standing Orders (TSO). Additionally, Rail OCR Software is able to record photographs of damage inspections, enabling the verification of equipment condition and damage both during arrival and departure.
