EAIGLE and PortCity Deploy AI Vision for Automated Gate Operations
Computer vision platform transforms existing cameras into real-time asset tracking systems at high-volume logistics facilities.
AI-native platform eliminates manual gate processes
EAIGLE has established a strategic partnership with PortCity to deploy computer vision-based gate and yard automation across PortCity's distribution network. The collaboration centers on EAIGLE's Automated Vehicles Access Control (AVAC) system, which converts existing facility cameras into automated asset identification and tracking infrastructure without requiring hardware replacements.
According to details first reported by PRNewswire, the deployment addresses persistent operational challenges at high-throughput logistics facilities, including manual gate auditing, congestion at entry points, and fragmented coordination between gate and yard operations.
Why it matters
Port and intermodal facilities process thousands of daily vehicle movements, making gate efficiency a direct driver of operational profitability. Traditional paper-based check-in systems create visibility gaps that ripple through yard management, dispatch coordination, and asset tracking. Automating these processes with existing camera infrastructure offers a lower-cost path to digitization compared to ground-up technology overhauls—particularly relevant as supply chain operators face pressure to modernize without major capital expenditures.
From paperwork to real-time visibility
Chris Somerville, CIO of PortCity, described the operational shift enabled by the technology. Before implementation, facility management relied on traditional gate paperwork, which introduced visibility gaps in fast-paced environments. The AVAC system now captures data automatically using existing cameras, providing dispatchers and yard crews with real-time tracking at entry and exit points. The automated gate check-in and check-out process delivers improved visibility and greater confidence in current yard inventory.
The system identifies trailers, containers, and seals directly from camera feeds, transforming passive surveillance infrastructure into active data capture points. This approach allows facilities to increase daily gate volume while reducing turnaround times for incoming drivers.
Enterprise integration and scaling
EAIGLE's platform connects gate and yard data with existing transportation management systems (TMS), warehouse management systems (WMS), yard management systems (YMS), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) environments. This integration maintains a unified data stream across previously siloed operational systems.
Amir Hoss, founder and CEO of EAIGLE, characterized gate automation and yard visibility as operational necessities for high-throughput logistics hubs. The company is expanding deployment across retail, consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, transportation, and port logistics sectors.
EAIGLE is rolling out complementary modules including an electronic bill of lading (eBOL) workflow system and YardSight Mobile for shunting trucks. These technologies work together to create what the company describes as a touchless facility ecosystem addressing security, compliance, and throughput requirements simultaneously.
PortCity, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Savannah, Georgia, provides warehousing, drayage, brokerage, transload, and over-the-road services with a focus on port logistics operations.
