ISO 6346 is the international standard for the coding, identification, and marking of intermodal shipping containers. It consists of a 4-letter owner code, category identifier, 6-digit serial, and a check digit.
Yes. Our specialized model handles common real-world yard conditions including partial occlusion, sharp perspective distortion, and weathered paint.
The owner code is the first four characters of an ISO 6346 container number — three letters identifying the company plus "U" for freight containers, "J" for detachable freight container-related equipment, or "Z" for trailers. Our OCR returns the owner code as a dedicated field to enable automated owner lookup.
Yes. Our Container OCR API returns structured JSON results per image and supports webhooks for real-time processing pipelines. Many logistics operators feed results directly into their TMS or port operating systems without any intermediate data entry.
The model detects and extracts all visible container codes within a single image, returning each as a separate object in the results array. This is useful for yard photography where multiple containers may appear in the same frame.
