703 Hi-Tech Solutions (HTS), a developer and provider of optical character recognition (OCR) computer and vision systems, has announced the establishment of HTS Brazil along with its partner 5167 Ergos Tecnologia. This new extension of HTS, which will be headquartered in Santos, will focus on answering the needs within the Brazilian markets including traffic, port automation and security, enforcement and safe city opportunities.

"The decision comes at an important moment," says Alex Mendes, who has been appointed CEO of the new company, referring to the legal requirement in Brazil for automation of ports that must be met by the end of the year. "By December, the port terminals must be equipped to scan 100 per cent of containers, using OCR for the identification of containers and trucks, on arrival and on departure, without human intervention, and will also need to increase the resolution of the monitoring cameras in the courtyards. Those who fail to comply with these three requirements will not be able to operate."

HTS Brazil has already secured orders in the targeted markets with awards from the Tecondi terminal as well as a major project awarded by Dersa for the HTS LPR solutions which will be used in monitoring vehicles using the water ferry crossings.

Networked video brings a whole host of advantages, such as the
