Track container codes with utmost accuracy

The Carmen® Container Codes software supports shipment tracking by extracting and reading ISO/ILU/MOCO container codes. The extracted information can be saved to a database or transferred to an IT system, as the software integrates seamlessly with any end-user application through API.

Carmen® Container Codes collects and processes image sequences from multiple sources to guarantee the best OCR results. We recommend a 3-camera setup.

The automatic reading of ISO 6346 (BIC code), ILU (European Loading Unites) , and MOCO (Montan Container) codes of intermodal shipping containers simplify road, railway, and harbor operations significantly, in which BIC codes serve as the primary identification for containers.
