Dangerous Goods Declaration data extraction
An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract data from DGDs.
Uploading DGDs to the API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a Dangerous Goods Declaration to our API. This is typically done from a mobile app or a web application.
The document can be sent cropped or uncropped (with background). If the scan is sent uncropped, the Klippa API will automatically crop the document. The Klippa DGD scanning SDK can also be used in mobile apps.
Image to text using OCR
As soon as a picture or PDF is received, it is converted to a TXT file by our engine. In this step all the text from the document is extracted, but not yet structured.
Getting JSON output from the API
The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. From here the DGD can easily be processed into your database. Whether you are processing Dangerous Goods Declarations for international shipping, customs declarations or compliance checks, Klippa is here to help.
