Scaling Automation Across ASEAN

As global supply chains shift, logistics software providers and terminal operators across Southeast Asia face rapid expansion. Deploying automated gate checks and inventory tracking across diverse countries requires a flexible, universally compatible tech stack. Traditional on-premise OCR limits scalability and introduces heavy maintenance overhead, while generic APIs struggle with 180-degree inverted texts and harsh weather conditions. For a deeper dive into evaluating underlying engine performance, see our core Container OCR capabilities.

StructOCR: Cloud Infrastructure for Regional Scale

We provide a borderless, high-performance REST API designed for rapid enterprise integration without SDK lock-in. Powered by our Logistics Container OCR pipeline, this engine handles immense concurrent volume and features native rotation invariance. It guarantees data hygiene by strictly enforcing ISO 6346 validation before delivering results back to your cloud architecture.

Built for Regional Logistics Integrators

Cross-Border Fleet Management

Track containerized freight seamlessly as it moves via truck between Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore using centralized API intelligence. Ready to scale? View flexible pricing, fully supporting crypto settlements (USDT/USDC) to eliminate regional fiat friction.

Regional TOS & WMS Development

Empower your local SaaS development teams to build proprietary port management tools by consuming our API natively via standard HTTP.

Mobile Yard Auditing Solutions

Leverage our support for direct file uploads to build progressive web apps (PWAs) that depot workers can use to log inventory from standard smartphones across any regional yard.

Automated River Terminals

Log container movements accurately at vital inland waterway terminals along the Mekong, bypassing the need for expensive localized servers.

Technical Specs

  • APAC Edge Deployed: Hosted on Cloudflare's global network, guaranteeing ultra-low t1/t2 latency for API requests from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and beyond.
  • Input Versatility: Fully supports raw Base64 strings and direct multipart file uploads, eliminating data transit friction across variable 4G/5G networks.
  • API over SDK: Provided as a lightweight REST API endpoint, removing the need for continuous local library updates.
  • Frictionless Global Billing: Native support for crypto gateways (USDT/USDC) alongside traditional processing via Paddle.

Key Features

  • Extreme Rotation Invariance: Automatically corrects and extracts container strings that are tilted or inverted 180 degrees from overhead cranes.
  • ISO 6346 Master Logic: Advanced built-in checksum calculators ensure misread serial digits are mathematically verified and corrected.
  • High Concurrency Processing: Architected to handle intensive, concurrent multi-lane requests during high-density port operations.

Developer-Friendly Integration

Unlike providers that restrict you to image URLs, our API is deeply versatile. It natively accepts direct multipart file uploads and Base64 strings, ensuring optimal performance across varying ASEAN mobile networks.

import requests
import base64

# Evaluate the API using a raw Base64 string for faster edge transmission
with open("asean_logistics_capture.jpg", "rb") as image_file:
    base64_image = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')

url = "https://api.structocr.com/v1/container"
headers = {
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
payload = {
    "img": base64_image
}

try:
    print("Evaluating StructOCR API...")
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
    result = response.json()

    if result.get('success'):
        print("✅ Extraction Complete!")
        print(f"ISO 6346 Result: {result['data']['container_number']}")
    else:
        print(f"❌ Error: {result.get('message')}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Network timeout: {e}")

Standardized JSON Payload

Evaluate our structured response. The API securely isolates the container prefix and serial data for instant integration into enterprise databases.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "container_number": "EMCU8504730",
    "is_valid": true,
    "confidence": "High",
    "parsed": {
      "owner_code": "EMC",
      "category": "U",
      "serial_number": "850473",
      "check_digit": "0"
    }
  }

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I evaluate your OCR accuracy for my specific region?

You can perform a free image test immediately. Upload your most challenging operational images directly into our sandbox to see the API's real-time accuracy and JSON structure.

Do you require us to install proprietary SDKs into our server environment?

No. We believe in an API-first approach. We provide a pure REST API that accepts standard HTTP payloads, allowing your development team to integrate without vendor lock-in.

Can regional logistics platforms pay using cryptocurrency?

Yes. To eliminate Southeast Asian cross-border financial friction, our payment systems fully support USDT and USDC settlements for enterprise API subscriptions.
