Built for the Demands
of Container Logistics

The Vidar Container Code Reader is specifically designed to excel at reading container codes, optimizing your operations. It supports the tracking of intermodal shipping containers through fast data processing, and reading ISO, MOCO, and ILU codes, regardless of container size and surface.  

The innovative dual-lens design delivers unmatched versatility: this container code recognition tool simultaneously captures container codes for efficient tracking and functions flawlessly for general CCTV surveillance – saving valuable resources.

The Container Code Reader
that Recognizes Everything

The Vidar Container Camera seamlessly integrates into your workflow, eliminating the need for manual code identification – which is often a challenge on knurled container surfaces. Leveraging multiple cameras and an external illuminator, this container code reader maximizes efficiency and saves valuable time. 

The camera’s unique 79° horizontal viewing angle allows for close-up installation in tight spaces, like between rail tracks or on cranes, while still capturing the entire container. The built-in laser trigger guarantees the capture of every event. This weatherproof and vandal-resistant camera delivers the expected ARH quality you can rely on.

FAQ

  • Which industrial codes can the Vidar Container Code Reader identify and read?

    The Vidar Container Code Reader can read and recognize ISO container codes, UIC codes, AAR codes, Brazilian railway codes, Russian railway codes, and American US DOT codes.

  • Can the Vidar Container Code Reader camera read codes at a close distance?

    Yes, the camera is equipped with a special wide optic that ensures proper image capture for code reading at close distances (OCR - ACCR range between 1.5 to 8 meters / 5' to 26'3"), allowing for close-up installations between the camera and the container or railway wagon.

  • Is it possible to capture and read codes from 20ft and 40ft containers?

    Yes, it is possible. The key factor is proper triggering to capture images when the code is in the camera's field of view. Our team is happy to provide guidance on managing proper triggering of the camera.
