Camco Technologies has been selected gate and rail automation partner at the Wolfurt, Wels and Vienna-South TSA intermodal terminals. The three terminals currently make use of manual gate systems. Each of the terminals will integrate 2 truck video gates as well as in and outbound kiosk for automated checks of trucks and cargo. For train wagon and cargo registration, the 3 transshipment facilities will rely on the Camco Technologies rail camera portal. One rail video gate will be deployed at each end of the terminal. Hardware, GOS and rail portal software will integrate in the KLV 2000 TSA terminal operating system.

The Camco Technologies truck and rail portals are equipped with AI embedded cameras, capable of registering container, trailer and rail wagon ID, ISO code, weight info and door direction.
