Visual AI
In modern supply chains, the gap between physical reality and digital data drains thousands of dollars daily through detention fees, excess labor costs, and rushed expedites. FourKites bridges this divide by integrating Visual AI deeply into your yard, dock, and inventory operations. By turning standard cameras into intelligent sensors, we connect physical operations to digital decision-making, providing verified ground truth that prevents waste and strengthens supply chain intelligence.
This isn’t about watching your operation. This is about connecting what AI sees to what your supply chain needs.
Visual AI transforms gate operations by automatically and consistently capturing truck and trailer information. As vehicles approach, the system identifies assets, validates appointments, and updates arrival records — all without manual intervention. This verified data provides accurate check-in/check-out timestamps to help dispute detention charges while giving you real-time visibility of yard movements.
Cameras at your docks do more than monitor activity — they provide real-time intelligence about trailer positions, loading status, and dock utilization. This continuous stream of verified data turns variable dock productivity into consistent peak performance, eliminating costly bottlenecks, ensuring your facility runs at peak efficiency without overtime costs.
Visual AI eliminates manual yard checks by maintaining an accurate, real-time map of your yard. When critical orders need specific inventory, Visual AI and the FourKites platform work together to locate the right trailer and mobilize it immediately, preventing shortages and eliminating rush shipping costs and disappointed customers.
Visual AI provides the critical foundation for safe, efficient yard automation. The system monitors yard conditions and validates vehicle paths while maintaining accurate asset tracking – essential capabilities for both today’s operations and tomorrow’s autonomous yard trucks.
Most visibility systems rely on manual inputs and gate records to guess what’s in your yard. Visual AI provides constant verification of asset locations and movements, eliminating costly blind spots.
When time-sensitive orders need specific inventory, our system doesn’t just know which trailer it’s in — it knows exactly where that trailer is and can trigger moves automatically to prevent shortages.
Visual AI isn’t a standalone camera system. It’s deeply integrated with yard, dock, and inventory operations, using verified facility data to drive immediate cost savings and efficiency gains.
While traditional YMS solutions struggle with manual processes, Visual AI provides the reliable facility data needed to support everything from detention dispute prevention to automated yard operations.
