Terminal Gate Operations Software

OCR handles gate-in. Drivers check in from their phone. Clerks step in only on mismatches.

AUTOMATION

Automated gate-in, no clerk in the booth

Cameras read the container, plate, and seal as the truck pulls up. If it matches the appointment, the barrier opens and the driver grabs a release slip at the kiosk. That is it.

99%+ OCR accuracy on ISO container numbers
Clerks only pulled in for mismatches
Barrier opens on a match, release slip prints at the kiosk
In short

The gate runs itself

Seven things it handles

Self check-in
By mobile or kiosk, no booth clerk
Pre-arrival routing
Notifications route trucks before they queue
Appointments
The Truck Appointment System keeps the gate predictable
Exceptions only
Clerks handle exceptions, not routine moves

OCR & RECOGNITION

License plate, container, and seal at the gate

The cameras read every container coming in or out. Mismatches get flagged at the lane, not after the truck is already inside the yard.

TRUCK APPOINTMENTS

Drivers book a slot, the gate knows when they're coming

Carriers book online. Each lane has its own per-hour capacity. Empties book into their own queue so they don't fight with imports.

PRE-ARRIVAL

The gate prepares before the truck shows up

The gate knows what is coming. EDI ETA messages and driver phone notifications give the system time to prep documents and assign a lane.

GATE KPIs

Every gate event is timestamped

Every gate event is timestamped, so ops directors watch processing time per shift and supervisors watch exception rate by lane.

Outcomes

What changes at the gate

Gate processing time
Drops because clerk verification gets skipped on the 95% of moves that don't need it
Driver wait time
Drops because trucks are pre-routed before they arrive
Documentation errors
Drop because OCR catches mismatches at the lane, before they hit paperwork
Throughput
Goes up. More trucks per hour, same gate footprint, often one fewer lane
“We had drivers queuing for an hour at peak. The gate was a clerk with a clipboard. Something had to change.”
