A container may change location and custody several times in a terminal; entry and exit scans alone miss intermediate moves.

Record internal movements. At each handover, pair container identity with scan point, status and receiving party.

If a label cannot be read, compare the manually entered identity with the paperwork and flag the exception.

Handover record

  • Scan point
  • Container identity
  • Status
  • Receiving party

Record unloading, receipt, security release, pallet build and carrier handover as your workflow requires.

Review missing or duplicate scans at shift end; the chain should show location and custody.
