Reading the Container
Number at the Gate
Every gate movement at QISW is now recorded with a photograph, and the software behind the gate lane reads the container number out of it. A truck arriving at Gate IN or leaving at Gate OUT has the number on its door located in the frame, the reading is checked against the number the appointment expects, and the controller is told the answer while the vehicle is still at the camera — a clean match ticks the confirmation they would otherwise make by hand, and anything doubtful asks for a retake on the spot.
That turns the photograph from a record made after the fact into a check made at the gate. The number is read the way it is actually stencilled — including numbers running vertically up a container's corner post, which no ordinary text reader gets right — and it is validated against the ISO 6346 check digit built into every container number, so a misread almost never survives as a plausible one. The check advises the controller; it never blocks a truck from moving, and the number it reports is always compared with the one already on the booking rather than trusted on its own. A licence plate is photographed alongside it as evidence, and every photo is filed against the appointment, the driver, the vehicle and the cargo.
Number Read Automatically
The container number is located in the photo and read, corner-post verticals included, then validated on the ISO 6346 check digit.
Checked Against the Booking
Compared with the number the appointment expects — never trusted on its own, so a misread can't quietly become a record.
Answer While the Truck Waits
Match, mismatch or unclear lands on the lane screen immediately, so a retake costs seconds instead of a second trip.
Evidence, Filed Once
Plate and container photos are stored against the appointment and stay visible on the cargo record for either leg of the visit.
