Automatically matching 80% of Dangerous Goods Declarations to containers
Dangerous Goods Declarations automation with OCR
One of the world’s largest shipping companies specialising in international container transport.
The client ships containers from one corner of the world to another. When they transport dangerous goods, the law requires them to use Dangerous Goods Declarations (DGDs). These should ensure that authorities can easily check that the goods transported are correctly packed, labelled and declared.
The solution: Capture
By combining existing and new OCR technologies, we were able to configure our Capture software to customer needs.
DGDs are drawn up by local agents at departure ports, usually under high time pressure and with no fixed structure. Lack of structure, authorities don’t like to hear that. Therefore, the client went looking for a way to link DGDs and containers more efficiently.
By automating the processing of DGDs, our software can automatically match the right DGD to the right container in 80% of cases.
This ensures more accurate reporting of dangerous goods, without agents having to work harder – quite the contrary. Moreover, for the customer, our software acts as a lever for further change management in their organisation.
