Hi-Tech Solutions Awarded World's Largest Container OCR Project (04/10/2002)

Hi-Tech Solutions was recently awarded a massive 56-lane container, truck plate and chassis number OCR project, reported to be the world's largest container OCR installation.

Hi-Tech Solutions' SeeContainer products will be installed at the entry and exit gates of all 56 truck lanes of the new APM Terminals Pier 400 container terminal in the Port of Los Angeles. The systems will read container numbers, chassis numbers and truck plate numbers. The information is then fed into a database operating system which fully automates the flow and data of every aspect of the terminal.

Five companies took part in a tneder for the project, which involved implementing a trial system. After posting the best performance, Hi-Tech Solutions won the tender and was awarded a contract.

The project is expected to be completed by January, 2003.
