Narrative:

While working all the arrivals into clt; aircraft X was descending via the bankr into clt during a north operation. Aircraft X crossed opals at 13;000 ft and showing 350kts. I was relatively busy during this time so I was unable to verify his speed and the reason for not making the crossing restriction. This is dangerous because the restriction at opals is there to force arrival traffic below the climbing southbound departures. Have ZTL ensure short side arrivals are delivered at the bottom of the altitude restrictions. We have drafted a LOA change that has restrictions; which were developed in agreement with pilot's descent profiles; and will help ensure aircraft meet their restrictions in this critical airspace. Whether it be controller errors at ZTL or clt or the surrounding centers; or even the pilots themselves; it does not matter. High aircraft on the short sides are dangerous. These restrictions will push the aircraft down so they can make the restrictions the whole way down; not just the first window before clt lateral boundary.until something is in writing; this will continue to happen. Every day and each time it happens adds risk to the NAS. Sooner or later I hope there is enough data to see what we work every day.
