A Better Method for Container Identification in Freight Forwarding

OCR has the ability to significantly enhance the process of international shipping. OCR technology may be used by all parties, including producers, middlemen, and recipients of shipments, to precisely scan container numbers utilizing mobile devices. Shippers may avoid errors and the consequent interruptions by automating the lengthy number scanning procedure.

The serial number scanning solution from AI OCR provides strong functionality and error-free data collection even under challenging circumstances like dim illumination, strange angles, or damaged shipping labels. To help logistics workforces improve freight forwarding visibility, the technology may be used to scan container identification and seal numbers, vehicle registration plates, barcodes, and other serial numbers.

Increase efficiency by automating the processing of transport orders.

Any logistics and transportation firm may greatly benefit from vlnnovate's AI-powered OCR. Just forward all incoming transportation orders to the AI OCR either via an API or just by forwarding the original email with an attachment. All papers are automatically processed, which entails the extraction of the necessary fields and their placement in a structured format, such as a spreadsheet. The next system, such as the route planning system, is then ready to import that information.

With prescription information gathered and saved in customer databases, pharmacy employees may rapidly access customer histories for greater service and consultation.

A better overview with identification of transport and bill of lading documents

The bill of lading, a list of the items, and an examination of the transshipment procedure are always included with cargo when it is shipped abroad. Companies may settle on a certain standard operating procedure, especially when they do business often. Working with barcodes or QR codes seems to be the most practical, and in some areas, firms use EDI. However, around 30% of the cargo is irregular, in which case the sender and the receiver have never collaborated before.

People are still in charge of processing the data in the relevant papers in these circumstances. Efficiency determines whether businesses succeed or fail in comparison to their rivals even when there is no time constraint. A cargo officer on the ground must still verify the recipient's identification and determine whether the transport is in accordance with the list of items. There are still a lot of manual operations that can be automated. An image of a list of items, for instance, might be used to automate the customs clearance procedure. Physical protection of the goods can be replaced by a scan of the Bill of Lading.
