Autonomy Virage Container Surveillance Management (CSM) is one of the world's leading vehicle and container number recognition systems. This highly sophisticated tool allows users to keep track of the ever-increasing volumes of cargo that flow through transport hubs such as seaports, inland container terminals and rail container terminals. By automatically capturing information such as vehicle license/number plates, container ISO numbers, and container type, Autonomy Virage allows users to keep an accurate record of exactly when and where containers pass through certain points in the transport network.
In addition, through high quality digital video recording and management, CSM can keep track of what condition containers are in at various stages of their journey throughout the world.
Autonomy Virage fully automates the recognition of both the vehicle and the container it is trailing in one smooth and simple process through the entry and exit lanes of either sea ports, inland container terminals and rail container terminals. Due to Autonomy Virage's open architecture design, the system has the advantage of being able to communicate and interface with on-site management systems, eliminating a wide range of manual processes leading to significant return on investment.
Autonomy Virage CSM not only provides world-class Optical Character Recognition (OCR) but with the aid of the Autonomy Virage's Security and Surveillance Suite offers users the ability to centralize all of this data, cross-reference it with, for example, container inventories and repurpose the information quickly and efficiently.
Functionality which can be provided includes automatic clustering, profiling, alerting and hyperlinking along with web distribution of the data and video.
