Real-time supply chain visibility provider FourKites announced a strategic partnership that brings AI-platform provider EAIGLE’s artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision platform to FourKites’ Dynamic Yard and Appointment ManagerTM solutions.
The integration of EAIGLE’s AI platform within FourKites’ yard management solution (YMS) and site schedule optimizer enables full automation in gate and yard operations and gives facilities managers new capabilities to streamline operations, optimize labour and reduce lost loads through continuous yard monitoring and data collection.
FourKites says the overwhelming majority of today’s supply chains lack any technology enablement in the yard, which, according to consulting firm McKinsey and Company, is costing the industry as much as $95 billion in losses. FourKites’ Dynamic Yard and Appointment Manager, augmented by EAIGLE’s out-of-the-box AI and computer vision capabilities, empowers facilities managers to automate key processes that:
- Enable an autonomous gate and computer vision-executed yard audits
- Significantly reduce inbound and outbound processing time at the gate
- Drastically reduce yard move times with greater location accuracy
- Improve coordination between the loading dock and yard operations
- Optimize labor via better, faster, and more efficient data collection and processing
- Slash the number of misplaced loads via continual monitoring of trailer locations
