From paper and radio to digital operations.

On a bonded warehouse site, there are dozens of small steps between a truck arriving at the gate and leaving after unloading: recording the plate, placing it in the queue, the driver waiting, being directed to the right gate, the gate opening, the security check, loading and exit.

When these steps are managed with paper lists, radios and disconnected Excel files, waiting times grow, drivers are sent to the wrong gate, and a security officer has to perform manual checks at every gate.

The system we developed turns this scattered process into a single digital flow. IP cameras positioned at each gate read the plate automatically (ANPR), the system matches the plate against the trusted plate list and opens the gate automatically for authorized vehicles. When the next vehicle is called, the driver instantly receives an SMS, and the digital board on site shows which plate should go to which gate.

From the security checkpoint to the management dashboard, the whole team sees the same data at the same time. The result: waiting times are shortened, manual errors are eliminated, and the need for staff waiting at every gate is minimized.

Features that transform bonded warehouse operations from start to finish

From license plate recognition to automatic gate control, and from the SMS invitation system to multi-role management, it brings all critical points of bonded warehouse operations together on a single platform.

Automatic License Plate Recognition

IP cameras positioned at each gate read plates in real time. Manual records and typing errors become a thing of the past.

Automatic Gate Opening & Closing

When an authorized plate is recognized, the gate opens automatically and closes after the vehicle passes. No manpower is needed at each gate.

Trusted Plate Pool

Regularly entering vehicles are added to the whitelist; the system verifies them automatically. Unauthorized plates are flagged instantly.

Instant SMS Notifications

When a vehicle is called, gate information and directions are sent to the driver instantly. No more need for loudspeakers and radios.

On-Site Digital Board

Which plate should go to which gate is shown live on the on-site screen. An end to driver confusion.

Role-Based Access

Security, warehouse staff, managers and ANPR operators: every role works in the same system with its own permissions.

Smart Queue Management

Queue entry, call, check-in and exit: the stage of every vehicle is visible on a single screen.

Multi-Warehouse Management

Multiple warehouses and gates are managed from a single platform. A separate supervisor and queue can be defined for each warehouse.

Monthly and Yearly Reports

Waiting times, vehicle density and gate performance become measurable. Excel output is just one click away.

All Devices from a Single Panel

Cameras, digital boards and gate control boards are managed, monitored and configured from the same interface.

Technology Stack

A modern software stack that talks to industrial hardware

Solving the challenges of bonded warehouse operations takes more than software; it requires an integrated technology architecture. Every layer, from image processing to industrial control boards and from real-time data transmission to enterprise reporting tools, was chosen to match the pace and reliability expectations of the site.

  • .NET 6.0 & WPF
  • LiveCharts & EPPlus
  • Hikvision & OEM IP Camera Support
  • MJPEG Snapshot Stream
  • SMS Gateway Integration

Emgu.CV (OpenCV)

Using an industry-standard image processing library, it processes the stream from each camera independently and recognizes plates within milliseconds.

IO Control Board Integration

Communicates with relay-based industrial control boards to open and close gates directly from the software. No external automation box required.

Display (Telnet Protocol)

Communicates with Linux-based on-site boards over the lightweight Telnet protocol, delivering a professional information display on low-cost hardware.

Token-Based REST API

All system components come together on a central REST API that works with encrypted payloads and x-api-key authentication.
