UIC & Container
Detect UIC wagon and container numbers in motion, track wagons across yards and corridors, and get real-time alerts when a specific wagon appears where it shouldn’t.
Key Features & Advantages
Up to 99% recognition accuracy in calibrated installations
Reliable OCR reads at speed thanks to high-quality optics and tuned algorithms
Recognition in motion - read UIC and container numbers without stopping wagons or tank cars
Supports all wagon & container types: freight, passenger, locomotives, platforms, tank cars, and various container sizes/fonts
Flexible search & filtering by UIC number, timeframe, camera, or track
Business logic constructor - set rules like “If UIC X seen in Zone Y → alert Security/Dispatch”
Multiple video sources supported - IP cameras, DVR/VMS streams, and archive footage
Enterprise database compatibility: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Oracle
Import/export support for CSV, Excel, PDF, and JSON
Role-based access and audit trail for operators, admins, and auditors
How It Works
Capture
Cameras (fixed or portal-mounted) record wagon sides and container faces as trains pass. A short pilot to adjust mounting height and shutter speed reduces false reads significantly.
Pre-processing
Image enhancement (de-noise, WDR/HDR, perspective correction) prepares frames for OCR, handling motion blur and reflective surfaces.
OCR & Validation
Advanced OCR models (CNN/LSTM hybrids) detect UIC/container numbers, apply checksum validation, and normalize formats - reducing false positives by a large margin.
Indexing & Search
Recognized entries are indexed with timestamp, camera ID, and track/zone metadata. Operators can search easily and generate exportable reports.
Alerts & Integration
Real-time notifications, triggers, or API/webhook events integrate with downstream systems (TMS, WMS, VMS, dispatch).

Why UIC & Container Number Recognition Matters
Rail logistics is a chain - and one missing link (a mis-identified wagon or container) can delay the whole train. Container number recognition and wagon number recognition automate what used to be manual, slow, and error-prone:
- Reduce manual scanning at yards and terminals.
- Enable real-time rail wagon tracking and location alerts.
- Improve inventory accuracy for inbound/outbound containers.
- Speed customs, border, and operational checks.
Use Cases of UIC & Container Number Recognition System
Safe City
UIC & container recognition helps cities monitor rail corridors, detect unauthorized cargo, and ensure compliance with safety standards.
Industry
Factories and plants use wagon recognition to confirm arrivals, cut errors, secure goods, and improve supply chain efficiency with real-time alerts.
Public Transportation
Passenger rail and metro operators optimize fleet use and safety with UIC recognition, reducing delays, ensuring compliance, and improving passenger experience.
