Say goodbye to misplaced trailers forever

Outrider Inc. has added computer vision and deep learning technology to its autonomous distribution yard features for tracking trailers and containers in yards.

• The new patent-pending trailer inventory technology allows real-time tracking of trailers, including those missing radio frequency identification tags.

• Misplaced trailers, containers, and chassis have long been a major pain point of yard operations and over-the-road trucking, and Outrider's trailer inventory solution aims to bring visibility and insight to maximize productivity and yard throughput.

• The technology uses sensors and proprietary deep learning-enabled computer vision algorithms to detect vacant or occupied parking spots, capture trailer identification numbers, standard carrier alpha codes, and other characteristics.

• The cloud-based management software enables, manages, and records trailer inventory, providing improved decision-making and efficiency for yard dispatchers, warehouse operators, and transportation managers.

• The real-time data is shared with customers' warehouse, yard, or transportation systems via Outrider's application programming interface.

• Outrider's trailer inventory solution is the latest addition to its advanced yard technology, which also includes deep-learning-based robotic brake line connections, high-precision articulated backing, and autonomous hitching for diverse trailer weights and orientations.
