Shipping Container Live - FAQ
🔍 Detection & Recognition
Does Shipping Container Live use the check digit (checksum) in its readings?
Yes, Shipping Container Live uses the check digit (checksum) according to the ISO 6346 standard as one of its detection steps. However, we don't rely solely on it, as there can be obstructions (illegible parts of the number) or cases where the identifier doesn't follow the standard format. Based on this scenario, the system uses the checksum to guide the OCR, choosing the reading that is in compliance. This increases the robustness and accuracy in container identification.
🌐 Connectivity
How does Shipping Container Live handle internet connection failures?
By default, when the internet connection is interrupted, the reading results from Shipping Container Live are placed in a queue (cached) and automatically resent as soon as the connection is restored. This ensures that no information is lost.
If you wish to disable this behavior, please access the caching section and change the setting.
