OCR technology enhances efficiency, safety and sustainability at VICT

Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) continues to push the boundaries of innovation, leveraging technology to optimize terminal operations and deliver superior service to customers. One of the key advancements at the terminal is the implementation of optical character recognition (OCR) technology at all truck entry and exit gates.

Revolutionizing the management of container movements, the OCR technology system seamlessly scans and verifies both truck and container details against pre-registered bookings without requiring a stop. This fully automated process ensures a smooth and uninterrupted flow of traffic, significantly reducing delays and improving the overall experience for transport operators and cargo owners.

Beyond efficiency, OCR is also key to enhancing safety and operational integrity. The system detects damaged containers upon arrival, allowing proactive measures to address potential hazards before handling and loading, ensuring a safer work environment for all stakeholders.

With an average truck turnaround time of just 40 minutes from entry to exit, VICT’s OCR technology also contributes to sustainability. Reduced idling times for trucks translates to lower emissions and a minimized environmental footprint, reinforcing the terminal’s commitment to sustainable port operations. 

By continuously investing in smart solutions like OCR, VICT remains at the forefront of modern container handling operations, setting new benchmarks for efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility across the industry.
