EAIGLE, PortCity expand strategic partnership to accelerate AI-powered gate and yard automation across logistics hubs
BOSTON/SAVANNAH: AI-driven logistics technology provider EAIGLE has expanded its long-standing strategic partnership with PortCity to deploy advanced gate and yard automation solutions across the company’s high-throughput logistics network, reinforcing efforts to improve operational efficiency, asset visibility and supply chain digitisation.
The collaboration will see EAIGLE’s artificial intelligence-powered platform integrated into PortCity’s distribution facilities to automate vehicle access, streamline gate operations and deliver real-time visibility across complex logistics environments without requiring major infrastructure upgrades.
The initiative reflects the growing adoption of AI-native technologies within the logistics industry as operators seek to reduce manual processes, improve cargo movement and enhance overall supply chain performance.
At the centre of the deployment is EAIGLE’s proprietary Automated Vehicle Access Control (AVAC) platform, which leverages computer vision, artificial intelligence and real-time data orchestration to automate gate operations using existing surveillance camera infrastructure.
Rather than relying on traditional manual inspections and paper-based processes, the system automatically identifies and tracks trailers, containers, seals and other logistics assets as they enter and leave facilities, providing operators with instant operational insights.
According to EAIGLE, the solution eliminates many of the inefficiencies associated with manual gate management while significantly improving the speed and accuracy of asset monitoring.
PortCity, which operates high-volume logistics and distribution facilities, said the technology will help transform the way cargo movements are monitored throughout its operations.
Chief Information Officer Chris Somerville said the company previously relied heavily on conventional paperwork and manual gate procedures, which limited operational visibility in a fast-moving logistics environment.
He said EAIGLE’s platform now enables automated asset tracking through existing camera systems, providing dispatchers and yard personnel with real-time information on vehicle arrivals, departures and asset movements.
The digitalisation of gate check-in and check-out processes is also expected to improve confidence in inventory visibility while reducing turnaround times for drivers entering and leaving PortCity facilities.
The partnership addresses several longstanding operational challenges faced by modern ports, distribution centres and intermodal logistics hubs, including gate congestion, fragmented yard coordination, manual auditing and limited real-time visibility across logistics assets.
By combining computer vision with intelligent data orchestration, EAIGLE enables logistics operators to automate routine workflows while providing a unified operational view across gate, yard and warehouse activities.
The enhanced automation is expected to improve facility throughput, optimise yard utilisation and reduce delays associated with manual verification procedures.
Beyond gate automation, the collaboration also forms part of EAIGLE’s broader expansion strategy as demand grows for AI-powered logistics technologies across multiple industries.
The company said it is accelerating deployments across sectors including transportation, manufacturing, retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG), warehousing and port logistics as organisations increasingly invest in digital supply chain transformation.
Among the key capabilities highlighted under the expanded rollout are rapid deployment using existing camera infrastructure, AI-driven vehicle identification, automated gate processing, enhanced yard navigation and seamless integration with enterprise software platforms.
EAIGLE’s technology is designed to integrate directly with transportation management systems (TMS), warehouse management systems (WMS), yard management systems (YMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms and digital freight management solutions, creating a single source of operational data across the logistics chain.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer Amir Hoss said automation has become essential for modern logistics operators seeking to increase throughput while maintaining operational accuracy.
He noted that the collaboration with PortCity demonstrates how computer vision technology can rapidly modernise facility operations by replacing labour-intensive manual processes with intelligent, real-time automation.
According to Hoss, the successful deployment also represents another milestone in EAIGLE’s strategy to expand the adoption of AI-native logistics technologies across high-volume freight and distribution networks.
As part of its wider digital transformation roadmap, EAIGLE is also introducing complementary technologies including its newly launched Electronic Bill of Lading (eBOL) workflow platform and YardSight Mobile, a solution developed to support shunting truck operations within logistics facilities.
Together, these technologies are designed to create a fully connected, touchless logistics ecosystem capable of strengthening operational security, improving regulatory compliance and increasing cargo throughput.
EAIGLE believes the combination of AI-powered computer vision, automated documentation and real-time logistics intelligence will play an increasingly important role in helping ports, warehouses and distribution centres improve efficiency while supporting the continued digital transformation of global supply chains.
