Quay

Improving waterside operations for a leaner, greener industry ready for increasing traffic

Camco’s groundbreaking BoxCatcher OCR effortlessly records every container movement during vessel loading and unloading. This advanced image capture and recognition system is seamlessly integrated into the crane, offering real-time exception management. But that’s not the end of our proposition: our Real Time Location System provides precise container tracking. Moreover, our proprietary software goes even further. Both our RT digital win THE TWINBRIDGE, unifying software THE BRIDGE and additional add-ons to existing hardware solutions deliver an unparalleled real-time and digital overview of your quay operations.

Innovative terminal automation solutions: Yard

Yard

From a step by step integration to full integration of terminal processes

The entire logistics process of container handling relies on data. Processing this data accurately is crucial for the efficient organization of logistical operations. Camco Technologies integrates camera systems, registration kiosks, track & trace technology, as well as software applications that make the automation of container handling perfectly possible. Today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Innovative terminal automation solutions: Rail

Rail

Start processing trains without delay and improve train turnaround time

Camco Technologies Rail OCR Solutions capture crucial data while trains approach the terminal, without hindering or delaying operations. Our systems preprocess, register and post-process all relevant data which optimizes planning and handling via the TOS. Our high quality images also deliver visual proof for damage claims or bulky loads on train cars.
