Manual gate verification throttled throughput at peak hours and produced data-entry errors.
A container terminal automates its gate and separates people from machines
LPR plus truck recognition on XCORE-32 appliances cut gate processing time, while zone alarms keep pedestrians out of vehicle lanes.

Challenge
The challenge
What the site was dealing with before deployment.
Trucks and pedestrians shared the same lanes with no reliable way to keep them apart.
Solution
What we deployed
The configuration and how it was rolled out.
- LPR and vehicle-type recognition installed at all 16 lanes on XCORE-32 appliances.
- Pedestrian-lane alarms raise an alert whenever a person enters a vehicle-only zone.
- Helmet and vest checks applied at the gate and around the quay.
- Container yard perimeter protected with intrusion and loitering detection.
Outcome
Results
Measured outcomes after go-live.
- Gate processing time reduced 38%, easing peak-hour queues without new gate staff.
- No pedestrian-vehicle collisions recorded since go-live.
- Gate data feeds the terminal operating system directly, removing manual entry.
