Automated Damage Inspection (ADI)

Automated Damage Inspection (ADI)

Camco’s Argus Automated Damage Inspection (ADI) identifies container damages in real time, without extra hardware or manual checks, speeding up claims handling and keeping operations safe and efficient. Its available for all camera based products as OCR portals and Crane OCR solutions

Prevent damaged containers from disrupting operations

Every day, thousands of containers move through terminal gates, quays, and rail tracks. When damaged containers enter the yard, they can trigger accidents, disrupt workflows, and cause costly downtime. Even small issues such as dents, rips, or holes can spoil cargo and erode customer trust. With Argus ADI, terminals can detect and address container damage early, preventing operational risks and safeguarding customer relationships.

Automated damage flagging

The Argus ADI system automatically scans container images for multiple types of damage.

Damage flagged

  • Rib deformation
  • Corner post damage
  • Holes and rips
  • Bulging and dents
  • Open doors or broken locking mechanisms

Upcoming features

  • Tank containers
  • Open-top containers
  • Trailers
  • Chassis

Focus on critical issues without slowing down the gate

Argus ADI can be configured to match each terminal’s specific priorities. The system automatically flags severe damages for immediate action, while minor issues are stored for later review. Nothing is lost, as every image is archived in The Bridge for detailed inspection and efficient claims handling.

Boosting safety, efficiency, and claims handling

Improved safety

Stop hazardous containers before they cause accidents.

Operational efficiency

Detect damages automatically without slowing the gate process.

Streamlined claims

High-quality images speed up resolution and reduce disputes.

No extra hardware

Fully embedded in Camco gate, crane, and rail OCR systems.

Smarter damage detection starts here

With Argus ADI, your terminal gains safer operations, faster gate processing, and smoother claims handling. All without extra equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Argus Automated Damage Inspection

How does Argus ADI enhance safety without slowing down container flow?

Argus ADI automates damage detection at entry points like gates and rail terminals, identifying dangerous containers before they disrupt stacking or transport operations. This proactive approach protects workers, preserves cargo integrity, and keeps container flows moving efficiently, without unnecessary inspection delays.

Can Argus ADI be customised to suit specific terminal requirements?

Yes, the system is highly configurable. Terminals can adjust settings to flag only severe damage types, allowing staff to prioritise safety-critical issues while reducing delays. All inspection data is securely stored for future review and damage claim verification, offering both flexibility and accountability.

Is additional hardware required to implement Argus ADI?

No, Argus ADI is fully embedded within Camco’s existing gate, crane, and rail OCR camera systems. There’s no need for extra hardware or third-party integration, making it a cost-effective and scalable solution for automated container damage inspection.

How does Argus ADI improve operational efficiency at terminals?

By automating the inspection process and flagging only critical damage types, Argus ADI speeds up the gate process without compromising safety. It reduces manual inspections, prevents operational disruptions, and supports faster, more accurate damage claim handling, leading to smoother and more efficient terminal operations.

What types of container damage can Argus Automated Damage Inspection detect?

Argus ADI can identify a wide range of container damage types, including rib deformation, corner post damage, holes, rips, bulging, dents, and issues with doors such as bent bars or broken handles. Detection for tank containers, open-top containers, trailers, and chassis is also being developed to ensure comprehensive inspection coverage.
