Overview
Our Automated Container Damage Detection Solution uses AI-powered cameras, OCR, and image recognition technologies to automatically identify and log physical damages to containers during gate entry, exit, or yard transfers. The system captures high-resolution images from multiple angles, detects dents, cracks, or door misalignments, and tags them with location, timestamp, and container ID. Integrated with the Customer TOS or Inspection System, our Solution generates automated damage reports, reduces manual inspection time, and minimizes disputes with shipping lines. Our solution improves safety, ensures cargo accountability, and speeds up decision-making for repairs or rejections.
Challenges
Manual Inspection Limitations
- Time-intensive manual checks create gate and yard delays.
- Inconsistent assessments due to human fatigue or error.
- Disputes over responsibility for damages due to lack of visual records.
Operational Inefficiencies
- Bottlenecks at inspection points affect container throughput.
- Incomplete or delayed reports slow down clearance and repair actions.
- High labor cost associated with round-the-clock inspections.
Data & Documentation Gaps
- Lack of photo evidence or timestamped reports for auditing.
- Difficulty tracking damage trends across fleets or locations.
- No integration with TOS or maintenance systems.
Solutions
Our Container Damage Detection Solution is an end-to-end automated inspection system built for terminals, depots, and yards. It uses AI-enhanced camera gates, machine vision, and integrated analytics platforms to detect and report container damage with precision—saving time, reducing labor, and improving reliability.
Key components:
✓ Multi-angle HD/IR cameras mounted at gates or inspection lanes.
✓ AI software engine trained on thousands of container damage types.
✓ Integration with TOS to auto-tag containers requiring hold, repair, or clearance.
✓ Cloud dashboard with container history, damage mapping, and reporting tools.
✓ Mobile app access for inspectors, supervisors, and maintenance teams.
With our solution, you gain not just faster inspection—but a smarter, traceable, and dispute-proof damage detection system that enhances container lifecycle management and customer satisfaction.
