From our workshop to the Old City Harbour.
Every vehicle boarding a ferry in Tallinn’s Old City Harbour is read, measured and weighed on the way in. Plate recognition and weigh-in-motion data go straight into Nortal’s Smart Port system, and the moment that data is ready, the driver’s gate, terminal and place in the queue appear on an Ampron LED board in front of them. No radio call and nobody waving from a booth.
About 170 of our boards do that job across Terminals A and D, in five formats: overhead portals, check-in and direction boards, lane boards in the collection area, loading-area boards and roof-edge lane lightboxes. Terminal A went live in 2016 and Terminal D during 2017. Since 2022 our DR Series units have been the replacements.
The hard part was never the pixels. It was taking live data from someone else’s software without anyone touching it, and staying readable in Baltic harbour weather, winter after winter.
“Ampron has kept our boards running reliably for close to 10 years.” Rego Säde, Project Manager, Port of Tallinn Smart Port
