GreenPort Congress & Cruise	Green Ports & Shipping Congress	Coastlink Conference	GreenPort Congress Oceania

GreenPort Congress is a meeting place for the port community to discuss and learn the latest in sustainable environmental practice. It offers ways to reduce their carbon foot print and be more sensitive to environmental considerations, both of which are vital to future success.	The Green Ports & Shipping Congress will identify and prioritise the areas that ports-based organisations and shipping companies need to collaborate on to reduce emissions.	Coastlink is a neutral pan-European network dedicated to the promotion of short sea and feeder shipping, and the intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector. It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss future innovation, economic and environmental considerations – and develop partnerships that will help build a sustainable future.	Greenport Congress Oceania will bring together environmental managers from port authorities, terminal operators, shipping lines and logistics operators to learn about the latest sustainable developments and environmental practices in the Oceanic region and beyond.

Visy Topview – Enhanced handling visibility with spreader OCR

2023-07-27T11:00:00

Visy TopView – the spreader OCR camera system automatically identifies container IDs from the tops of containers, transforming spreaders into smart devices with Visy’s in-house recognition software.

Visy TopView accelerates container handling processes and prevents time-consuming false lifts, which instantly helps to increase a terminal’s operating capacity and stack accuracy. With Visy TopView, no container is being stacked to a wrong location regardless of whether the operation commences over vessel, truck, train, or yard.

Multifaceted benefits
Visy TopView recognizes container IDs while crane operations are ongoing, providing efficiency and accuracy in container handling. The agile solution also enhances safety and security by reducing the need for manual work in the immediate vicinity of the cranes. Visy TopView utilizes state-of-the-art vision technology to prevent lift accidents: A deep neural network determines the container formation from the spreader camera images and compares it with the spreader setting. An alert is sent to the crane operator if the selected lift type does not match the images, thus preventing accidental twin lifts when the spreader is in single lift position.

Smart implementation
Visy TopView is a compact system in which all equipment is installed directly on the spreaders, including cameras, illuminators, and the recognition PC. Intelligent OCR software selects the best results to achieve recognition rates of up to 99.5% and thus verifies that each movement of cargo goes as planned. The system is a reliable partner for terminal operators in container handling processes, as it gathers recognition data while cranes are in action, regardless of the time of day or environmental condition.

TopView can be installed to any type of container handling equipment, including single, tandem, twin, and quad spreaders.
