Grup TCB orders Orbita gate OCR

Due for completion this November, the project includes installation of truck lane gantries equipped with  Orbita’s automated container identification and truck licence plate reader system, GateOCR.  The company will additionally supply its GateOS software to integrate gate OCR data with ARGOS, Grup TCB’s terminal operating system (TOS).  It will also supply the hardware and QR Code and RFID readers to enable truck drivers to interact with the TOS.

The project also covers the removal and relocation of TCB’s existing Megaports radiation detection portals and infrastructure to the new terminal gates.

TCB, which handled close to 800,000 teu in 2012, is one of Spain’s longest established and largest terminals.  As a predominantly import-export facility, 80% of its container traffic enters or exits on the landside by truck and rail, making the gates critical to overall terminal performance.
