MatchMaker Tractor ID System

The MatchMaker Tractor ID System
automatically identifies internal yard tractors during the container load/discharge process. Operating at nearly 100% accuracy, MatchMaker enables work instructions to be released and confirmed in real time providing a dramatic increase in productivity, efficiency and inventory accuracy, while reducing resource requirements, vehicle wait time and congestion in the yard.

The system, which is designed for use on most container handling equipment including an STS crane, RTG/RMG, top loader, etc, leverages proven OCR camera technology to identify low-cost 2-D optical tags applied to the top and sides of the tractor. Unlike GPS and RFID systems that are expensive to install and maintain and struggle to operate consistently within a dense container yard, MatchMaker leverages simple proven OCR technology and provides dramatically lower Total Costs of Ownership (TCO). To learn more about MatchMaker, click here.

  • Real-time work instruction release and confirmation
