Our OCR system NUMBERCheck - Rail & Truck Gate can be supplemented with a location-independent fault reporting system and is used for automatic information in case of failure of system-relevant components. These messages are displayed on a separate PC. It is thus a proactive maintenance/maintenance component.

With the stitching* function, complete trains can be analyzed quickly and comfortable. The train formation is displayed on the screen in small format and can be moved or enlarged as desired with a mouse click. Just click on a specific wagon to display it in large format to view details (numbers, danger signs, damage, position of brake levers, etc.).

Video technology can make a highly versatile contribution toward rationalization of production processes. Remote from the process, you are able to view important process sequences, evaluate the actual product state, direct the flow of goods, check areas which are difficult or even impossible to access, and much more.

A new high-speed transshipment facility, the MegaHub Lehrte, was built on the site of the former Lehrte marshalling yard. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in May 2018. With high-performance portal cranes, a new type of sorting system and an automatic consignment registration system for trains and trucks, goods will be handled much more faster and efficiently here in the future.

Did you know ... A particularly unique selling point is the fact that our system records and processes all train data even when the train stops and continues its passage, without this data being lost due to this interruption in the passage. This distinguishes us significantly from our competitors, for whom continuous passage is a must. 

Linz Service GmbH operates the connecting railway at the port of Linz. Until now, the registration of trains was carried out purely manually. The entire train had to be walked through by one employee in a time-consuming process and all relevant vehicle numbers and characteristics had to be recorded individually. In order to automate this process, the "installation of a photogate" at the access track to the port area was put out to tender and realised by ASE GmbH.

Most companies are going through difficult times, only a few are not effected by the current corona crisis. Doctors, nurses, the food trade and drugstores are some of the system-relevant professions and industries that currently support our society; they deserve our thanks and respect.

Up to now, hazardous goods have been recorded using the ADR/UN codes for both rail and road transport. By order of a renowned customer, we have now been able to add another feature to our NumberFinder software: NUMBERCheck Video gate now also recognizes dangerous goods signs, so-called placards.

In addition to the detection of common characters, such as UIC wagon numbers, container codes or dangerous goods signs, other possibilities of automated image recognition and processing are increasingly in demand.

In summer 2019, not only the temperatures caused hot days, but also the two major trade fairs for the transport and logistics industry.

We want to expand and increase our sales activities both in Germany and in other European countries.

To strengthen our team we are looking for an experienced Sales Engineer / Sales Manager (m/f/d) for the next possible date.

NUMBERCheck - Rail Gate offers interfaces to other measuring systems for rail and freight traffic. Our system can also be connected to a flat detection system (FOA) of various manufacturers. Wheel flats are caused by blocked wheels, causing noise and damage to rails and track beds.

TOC Europe is one of the world's largest expert exhibitions for port, ship and terminal technology.

Transport logistic 2019 opens its doors again in Munich from 04 - 07 June 2019. As a specialist for camera-based identification systems, we use the leading trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management to present information on automation and digitisation using OCR technology.

Halle/S. is an important hub for rail freight traffic. In a project lasting until 2018, the train formation system Halle/S.-Nord was converted into one of the most modern in Europe and upgraded to a central system in Central Germany.

The Oskar Patzelt Foundation's Grand Prize for Medium-Sized Enterprises is Germany's most prestigious economic award." ( DIE WELT ). The competition is already being announced for the 25th time in 2019. Only every thousandth company in Germany reaches the nomination list. ASE GmbH is one of them.

For a static or dynamic weighing system in rail traffic, the automatic optical recognition and identification of the UIC wagon numbers during train passage is an important functional addition. NUMBERCheck offers the corresponding interfaces to track scale measuring systems of leading manufacturers. Based on the recognized UIC numbers, determined weights can be assigned to the individual wagons. Here we explain how this works:

Following an initial installation in Duisburg's Logport III port, we can now look forward to a framework contract that includes the installation of up to ten rail gates. These are to be located at various sites on the approx. 14 square kilometer port site within the next 3 years.

DB Regio AG has numerous locations in Germany where they provide services in the field of maintenance, repair and cleaning of rail vehicles.

The world's leading trade fair for transport technology presents new ideas and technologies in the fields of Railway Technology, Railway Infrastructure, Public Transport, Interior and Tunnel Construction.

ASE is pleased about the successful financing campaign with Companisto; it confirms the fact that digitisation processes also include intelligent image processing.

The first symposium "Maritime rail freight transport" will take place on 13.09.2018 in Stralsund. It deals with the topic "Mastering rail transports - how digital is it allowed to be".

As a specialist for intelligent image processing, ASE also designs video surveillance systems for safety-relevant areas in the process industry, chemical/petrochemical industry, power plants and many other branches.

For many rail infrastructure operators it is not only an enormous challenge to advance the locating and as-is-monitoring of freight wagons at their own expense. Until now, there has also been no central theme for achieving a uniform exchange of data for all actors.

The German Institute for Standardization e.V. (DIN) has meanwhile prepared a document which defines requirements for the data structure, data groups and interface definitions for the exchange of information in combined transport between the actors involved.

Intelligent image processing is one of the basic technologies for automation and digitization in the transport and logistics industry. The automation of logistical processes along the value chain includes, among other things, the fully automatic monitoring and registration of incoming and outgoing goods.

Our camera-based OCR gate notonly records wagon, container or vehicle numbers, but also provides vehicle condition documentation.

High detection rates with area scan cameras 

The market for OCR gates in the logistics industry is dominated by a few suppliers. In contrast to our competitors, who rely on one-dimensional line scan cameras and gain the 2nd dimension by as uniformly as possible movement of the vehicle, we work with high-resolution 2-D area scan cameras. We would like to explain why in this news.

Brussels North and Brussels South stations are linked by a six-track tunnel. This tunnel also houses the heavily frequented Brussels Central Station with three island platforms. Up to 1,100 trains pass through the tunnel every day and almost all passenger trains circulating in Belgium, including ICE, Thalys, TGV and Eurostar, pass through the tunnel.

The BMW plant in Regensburg also uses NUMBERCheck, our automated number recognition system for rail & road.

The Regensburg plant produces eight different vehicle variants. Flawless processes are the prerequisite for building automobiles of the highest quality and inspiring customers.
Reliable and transparent logistics play a major role in production, both in the delivery of components and in the removal of production waste.*

Transport tracking using RFID technology is well known to most players in the transport and logistics industry. The abbreviation RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and means identification by radio frequency. This method belongs to the group of automatic systems for the identification of goods and functions via a contactless signal exchange. The transponders or RFID tags play a central role in this process. They are very small and light and can be attached directly to the goods, transport containers and loading equipment in the form of a sticker *. (Source: www.logistikbranche.net)
