In today’s logistics, port operations, container yards, warehouses, and industrial supply chains, a weighbridge system is no longer just a tool for measuring weight. It is a critical part of digitalisation, automation, tracking accuracy, and operational efficiency.
Sin Huat Hin Machinery (M) Sdn Bhd now offers a powerful enhancement to modern weighbridge systems: Automatic Container Number Reading (OCR Container Recognition).
Traditional methods rely heavily on manual entry or drivers reporting the container number. These methods are prone to:
Typing errors
Inconsistent data formats
Delays during peak hours
Limited traceability and weak evidence
Difficulty in integration with ERP/WMS/TOS
Automatic container recognition eliminates all these issues.
Container numbers combine letters and digits (e.g., MSKU1234567), and manual input is extremely error-prone.
OCR provides over 99% accuracy, ensuring the container number matches the weighbridge record perfectly.
The system recognises the container number automatically as the truck enters the weighbridge – no manual recording needed.
This allows your operation to:
Reduce queue time
Improve weighing speed by 30–50%
Increase truck throughput capacity
The system captures container number, licence plate, timestamp, weight, and photos automatically.
This creates a strong audit trail for future dispute resolution or compliance checks.
In ports, logistics hubs, oil palm mills, construction materials and manufacturing plants, container numbers are essential tracking identifiers.
OCR ensures:
Each container is linked to the correct weight
No container switching or manipulation
Compliance with customs, port, and internal SOP requirements
The automatic container number can be easily integrated with systems such as:
SAP
Oracle
WMS
TOS (Terminal Operating System)
Any proprietary database or server
This eliminates redundant manual entry and accelerates digital transformation.
High-resolution cameras capture container images, vehicle photos, and weighing scenes automatically.
This enhances visibility, auditability, and operational transparency.
We provide industry-proven container recognition technology with:
Industrial-grade cameras for outdoor and low-light environments
AI engine capable of reading damaged, dirty, or reflective containers
Compatibility with all weighbridge brands
Support for single, double, and skeletal trailers
24/7 heavy-duty operation
Local installation, support, and maintenance
Applicable for ports, logistics hubs, factories, warehouses, transporter fleets, mining operations, and more.
Automatic container number reading is becoming a standard requirement for modern logistics and weighbridge digitalisation.
With this upgrade, your operation becomes:
Faster
More accurate
More secure
Fully automated
Competitively advanced
