Outpost has announced its gate automation platform with the technology now available to transportation, organizational fleet and terminal operators across the United States, the Truck Terminal and Automation Company has announced more than 20 truck terminals and the yard.
The Gate Outpost automation platform uses Vision Computer and artificial intelligence to reduce the operating costs of 70 % while capturing 99.9 % of gate events with its data. Before bringing the platform to the market, the company tested the technology and imported more than 1 million gate events in its places.
“The outpost is pulling the pain out of the gate,” said Ryan Gus, Vice President of Safety, Terminal Management, Security and Facilities in Werner. “Our drivers are getting faster, our teams have better visions and our equipment is safer,” he said.
Gate operations have long been treated as a cost center in the supply chain and estimates that employees of a 24 -hour gateway a day can spend about $ 25,000 a week seven days a week. Despite the costs, most of the facilities fight with accurate vision and inventory measuring and equipment conditions.
Handmade checks and yard checks are for the yard operation. Another challenge is the guard turnover, which is estimated at 100 % to 300 %, according to the International Union of Services.
Across the country, a press statement said it could spend more than $ 6.7 billion a year. The estimate was collected with a combination of analysis of the cost -of -work facility and the national terminal counting from government data.
According to a report of cargo robbery in 2024, one -third of the cargo that occurs in warehouses and distribution centers in 2024 is also mentioned in warehouses and fraud.
“The mission is to build the spine,” said Greg Exalod, a senior technology director for the checkpoint. Expanding our technology traces of our own characteristics to our customers’ terminals is the next logical step to achieve this mission. ” “By linking the carrier terminals and releasing the yard into a single operational network, we are activating a new level of coordination and coordination in the transport ecosystem and turning the gate from a cost center to a strategic control point.”
