\"2013-07-08_0957\"Intermec<\/a> has many software-based Imaging Solutions that enable automated data\u00c2\u00a0collection when only letters and numbers are present. These imaging solutions take advantage of the enhanced scan engine, camera and optical character recognition(OCR) capabilities present in many Intermec mobile computers<\/a>. Imaging Solutions are designed to promote the paperless workflow process and improve yard operations.<\/p>\n

Scanning Intermodal Container or shipping container codes is one of the imaging\u00c2\u00a0solutions offered by Intermec. The ultra-rugged Intermec CK71<\/a> mobile computer, with\u00c2\u00a0the extended range EX25 scan engine, can withstand the harsh port conditions and\u00c2\u00a0long distance scans. The underlying OCR engine was developed in a common language\u00c2\u00a0for ease of integration with other applications.<\/p>\n

Problem:<\/strong> A large European shipping company manages 7000 containers each week\u00c2\u00a0which are often stacked five high. Tracking the location of each container is mandatory.\u00c2\u00a0Each evening after the port closes the company issues \u00e2\u20ac\u0153walkers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d throughout its yard\u00c2\u00a0to manually record each container\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s code. Half of the containers have codes printed\u00c2\u00a0vertically which they believe are unreadable using any type of scanner. This assumption\u00c2\u00a0has prevented them from automating.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong> Intermec introduced the idea of using its software imaging to capture\u00c2\u00a0both the vertical and horizontal codes and digitally convert them without any issues.\u00c2\u00a0The EX25 scan engine in the mobile computer<\/a> is capable of scanning the 20-ft. plus\u00c2\u00a0range that results when multiple containers are stacked on one another. With these\u00c2\u00a0combined capabilities, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153walkers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d have sped up the daily process by driving by the\u00c2\u00a0containers and scanning from inside a van.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> The shipping company resolved issues associated with their manual\u00c2\u00a0recording process of container codes and estimates considerable man-hour savings\u00c2\u00a0and improved container code recording accuracy.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
