Camco Technologies builds vision-based process automation for container, intermodal, and rail terminals—OCR portals, crane systems, kiosks, and position detection hardware. The tech stack is anchored in C# and .NET with heavy embedded systems work (STM32, FreeRTOS), paired with modern web layers (Angular, React, TypeScript). The engineering-dominant hiring profile and active projects in image processing and AI-based OCR signal a shift toward algorithmic automation; paired with stated pain points around SLA compliance and global service operations, Camco is scaling both the software intellectual property and the distributed support footprint required to serve multi-site terminal operators.
Camco Technologies, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, supplies terminal automation hardware and software to port and rail operators. Their product suite spans optical character recognition (truck and rail portals), crane-mounted vision systems, kiosk interfaces, and position detection sensors—all integrated with terminal operating system (TOS) platforms. The company operates across six hiring countries (Belgium, Germany, France, UK, US, Israel) with a headcount of 51–200, reflecting a globally distributed engineering and support operation. Internal challenges around payroll coordination and local compliance suggest scaling pains typical of European hardware vendors expanding internationally.
Primary stack: C#, .NET, and ASP.NET for backend; TypeScript, Angular, React, and Vue for frontend. Embedded systems leverage C/C++, STM32, FreeRTOS, and Zephyr. Development tools include Jira, Confluence, and Azure DevOps.
Core projects include AI-based OCR and optical field reading (OFR) solutions, computer vision and image recognition algorithms, image processing for terminal automation, and full-stack product development. Ongoing work spans terminal installations, international deployment, and payroll system optimization.
