The new technology combines the latest high resolution mega-pixel industrial cameras and ultra-strong LED illumination units running on a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) network with upgraded software. GigE is the newest generation of Ethernet, with improved data communication rates of up to 1000 Mbps, or 1 gigabit per second, providing high-speed, highly reliable, transmission of video images and related control data from computer vision systems.
HTS 3G systems can also handle significantly higher volumes of data and information provided by the OCR imaging units. The use of new camera and LED technologies also means that 3G systems can reliably capture high-quality images in a wider range of climate and environmental conditions. This includes better management of the transition from day to night operations, as the new systems are programmed to automatically adjust to differing light conditions.
The implementation of the 3G systems on an IP platform also reduces infrastructure costs for interfacing and networking OCR systems with remote servers. For port and terminal operators with fibre infrastructure already installed, no additional cost will be incurred to place gate lane PCs in an on-site server area, as a direct Ethernet connection to a remote server is more cost effective.
