Automatically stop wrong trailers from leaving your site
Product update
09.10.2025
Trailers come and go in yards. Drivers arrive, swap trailers, and leave with the right load. However, trailer verification is often a point of tension. Most sites rely on drivers to report which trailer they pick up or drop off. They type in licence plates at the gate or on a kiosk. That process is simple and good, but it’s fragile. Drivers can make typos. Some might even intentionally leave with the wrong trailer. And because most systems only compare planned data with what’s typed in, there’s no real check that the physical trailer matches the records.
By the time someone realises, the driver is long gone. The result? Mismatched paperwork, security gaps, and costly mistakes. Wrong trailers can go unnoticed, causing delivery errors, compliance issues, and time-consuming investigations. Any lost trailer is expensive.
Introducing trailer plate verification
Peripass now closes this gap with Trailer Plate Verification: a simple, reliable way to ensure every truck leaves with the right trailer.
Using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, the system reads the plate on the trailer itself and checks it against:
The truck’s licence plate
The driver’s access PIN (which is connected to the license plate that was put in during registration)
At entry, it confirms that the driver’s input matches the plate captured by the rear camera. At exit, it verifies that the truck is leaving with the correct trailer, instantly flagging any mismatch.
If something doesn’t add up, the system can:
Raise an alert for gate staff, or
Block the exit until the issue is checked.
What used to be a manual, error-prone process has become an automatic, real-time security process.
Stay in control of your yard
No more guessing or chasing paperwork: the system confirms the physical trailer matches the plan.
Fewer mistakes: avoid delivery errors caused by incorrect trailers.
Stronger security: stop unauthorised trailers from leaving.
Less manual work: gate staff don’t need to double-check every truck.
With Trailer Plate Verification, your yard stays controlled, compliant, and secure without adding extra steps for drivers or staff.
