Posted 19 Jul 2019 Hi there Does anyone have any experience or advice on how to integrate an ANPR Camera into a PLC control system? We are currently upgrading an Allen Bradley SLC500 to a CompactLogix system and our client would like the facility to read lorry number plates into the control system to allow automatic unloading of vehicles. I've scoured the internet with no success. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 28 Jul 2019 don't know about ready systems but this should be very straight forward for any (semi-decent) vision system, pretty much all of them should handle character recognition. this is much easier than tracking fast moving vehicles on a highway. challenges like motion blur etc can be eliminated with faster capture. low resolution can be solved by zooming into area that each truck/trailer must pass. There is still problem with possible variety of license plate formats so even if use score to identify culprits and tweak your program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number-plate_recognition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
