Truck-OCR Gate

When every truck movement becomes instantly usable

Where many trucks come and go, wait times, manual inspection efforts, and unclear data records can quickly arise. With VITRONIC Roadgate, you make vehicle movements automatically visible: relevant vehicle and load unit data are detected as the truck passes and provided directly for processing, control, and documentation.

More transparency for processing, yard, and plant logistics

You gain a reliable data foundation for the entire vehicle process: from registration, to drive-through, to further processing in the terminal, port, logistics area, or on the factory premises. Your teams can quickly see which vehicle is in transit with which load unit—and can better manage processing, documentation, and follow-up processes accordingly.

Challenge

When gate processes need reliable data under time pressure

At heavily frequented gates, license plates, container data, hazardous goods signs, and pre-registrations often have to be checked, cross-checked, and forwarded quickly. If this information is collected manually, media discontinuities, sources of error, and delays occur. It is therefore crucial for operators to translate drive-throughs early, clearly, and systematically into digital process data.

Processing

Identify vehicle and load unit in a single pass

During drive-through, truck and trailer license plates, container numbers, as well as BIC and ILU codes are automatically detected. Hazardous goods numbers and symbols can also be recorded with VITRONIC Roadgate. Each entry or exit generates a structured data point that you can use for registration, control, management, tracking, and documentation—without any additional manual steps at the gate.

TOS integration transfers data from automatic vehicle identification into operational systems
Integration

From the gate directly into your operational systems

Captured data is transmitted via standardized interfaces to existing systems—such as TOS or plant control systems. This way, information is available where processing, terminal management or tracking take place, without manual transfer. Your teams work with up-to-date data instead of manually compiling information retroactively.

Records

Document every drive-through traceably

Numbers, date, time, direction of travel, and transmission status are documented and can be specifically retrieved later. High-resolution video recording additionally supports condition and damage documentation. This supports clarification processes, reduces uncertainties, and makes drive-throughs traceable for operators, service providers, and customers.

Operation

For real-world traffic conditions at ports, terminals, and factory premises

VITRONIC Roadgate is designed for continuous outdoor operation. Sensors and lighting are adapted for the drive-through; LED lighting is only activated as needed and remains glare-free for drivers. The system operates bidirectionally and detects vehicles traveling at speeds up to 60 km/h. As a modular and expandable Truck-OCR solution, Roadgate can be combined with additional infrastructure—from barriers and displays to kiosk or weighing systems. VITRONIC supports implementation as a system partner with service expertise.
