Fleet Yard Traffic Management & License Plate Recognition at Docks
An intermodal logistics hub managing 1,000 daily tractor-trailer arrivals across 80 loading docks and staging yards.
Run on Arjuna · Plant Operations & Safety
The challenge
Manual gate check-ins using paper logs created 45-minute truck queues on access roads during morning peak hours.
Yard hostlers spent hours driving around searching for specific trailers assigned to loading docks.
Unclaimed detention fees accumulated because gate arrival and departure timestamps were recorded manually.
How Arjuna solves it

Arjuna parses video feeds from standard gate security cameras, reading tractor license plates and shipping container codes automatically with 99.2% accuracy.
Automated Gate Barrier Opening
Cross-references recognized plate numbers against scheduled delivery appointments, opening automated gate barriers in 3 seconds.
Real-Time Yard Staging Map Updates
Tracks trailer movements inside the yard, updating digital yard maps with exact parking bay coordinates.
Automated Dock Assignment SMS
Dispatches automated SMS instructions to truck drivers directing them to open loading dock numbers upon gate entry.
Audit-Ready Detention Timestamping
Logs precise, tamper-evident gate entry and exit timestamps into transportation management systems (TMS).
