EAIGLE's AI Cuts Gate Dwell to 30 Seconds
EAIGLE's AI automation platform reduces gate processing times from up to 18 minutes to under 30 seconds using existing security cameras, enabling unmanned
EAIGLE has cut gate dwell times to under 30 seconds using AI and existing camera infrastructure. The automation company reported 350% year-over-year revenue growth and recently closed a growth funding round, CEO Amir Hoss told FreightWaves.
Gate congestion and poor yard visibility are persistent inefficiencies in distribution. EAIGLE's computer vision platform automates the entire check-in and check-out process. It validates bills of lading, purchase orders, appointments, and USDOT numbers in real time. The system then feeds clean data directly into yard, warehouse, and transportation management systems via APIs.
Operational Impact
At one active facility processing about 1,100 trucks daily, EAIGLE's system replaced 18 full-time staff across three shifts. The site now runs a fully unmanned, paperless operation. Hoss recalled a security guard's admission from years ago: "We didn't validate here, we just log." That manual approach, he said, led to unreliable data downstream. "It becomes garbage in and garbage out." Hoss said.
Product Suite
EAIGLE markets two core products. Automated Vehicle Access Control (AVAC) manages gate entry and exit using camera-based validation. YardSite uses cameras mounted on light poles, walls, and shunt trucks to continuously scan the yard. It updates the yard management system in real time. Some high-pace manufacturing customers, like automotive plants, require updates every four minutes or less to maintain dock efficiency.
Security and Theft Deterrence
The platform also acts as a security layer. Hoss stated it stops an average of two to three cargo theft attempts monthly at high-risk distribution centers. It flags mismatched or expired bills of lading, documents issued for the wrong facility, and carriers with prior theft history visible in USDOT data. Hoss cited rising empty-trailer theft as a concern, noting fake or outdated paperwork is the most common method for unauthorized loads leaving a yard.
Future Expansion
Hoss said the company has a product announcement expected within two weeks. It is fielding requests for faster expansion across North America and internationally. Within months, certain customers will begin testing autonomous truck acceptance into fully automated yards. This is a step toward operations where "neither the truck nor the shunt truck nor the yard itself is operated" by humans, with people handling only exceptions. EAIGLE's platform is already deployed at facilities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
