In companies that are actively working with the delivery of raw materials, semi-finished products through railway transport, there is often a question of quickly identifying wagon numbers, reconciling them with the consignment note and entering data into the company’s accounting system.
One of the automation methods is the use of a system with video cameras to identify railway cars and tanks.
