    Crane Operator Application
    Web-based tool for swift exception handling
    Accuracy is a key-advantage of Camco Technologies pow-
    erful OCR solutions. Focusing on exception rates instead of
    success read rates enables terminal operators to better plan
    resources.
    Operators can use the Crane Operator Application for
    further exception handling. Processing OCR correction jobs is
    easy with this intuitive web-based application, where oper-
    ators can validate data based on high-res container images.
    Exceptions are defined for each customer: incorrect or miss-
    ing container numbers, exceptions relating to seal presence
    and dangerous goods labels.
    As the number of exceptions is limited, a single operator can
    be assigned for handling 6 up to 8 cranes, depending on the
    complexity of the crane operations.
