EAIGLE, PortCity partner to scale AI-native gate and yard automation across high-throughput, high-pace port facilities

EAIGLE, a provider of AI-native gate and yard automation technologies, announced a long-standing, strategic partnership with PortCity, a port-focused logistics provider offering warehousing, drayage, brokerage, transload and over-the-road services.

The companies said that the partnership looks to expand deployment of its proprietary gate and yard automation platform across PortCity's high-velocity distribution network.

Automating port logistics

EAIGLE and PortCity said that the collaboration focuses on eliminating manual operational friction at the gate and in the yard, enhancing driver experience and establishing true real-time visibility across complex high-throughput and high-pace logistics operations.

EAIGLE said that the partnership highlights its accelerating technology adoption and scaling. By utilizing EAIGLE's flagship Automated Vehicles Access Control (AVAC) system, the company said that PortCity is digitizing its physical entry points, utilizing computer vision AI to automate asset identification and tracking directly from existing facility camera infrastructure without costly hardware overhauls.

The companies said that port operations and high-throughput intermodal hubs face distinct challenges with manual facility auditing, gate congestion and fragmented gate and yard coordination. They added that the integration of EAIGLE's AI-native computer vision and data orchestration platform allows incoming drivers to navigate PortCity hubs easily, significantly lowering turnaround times and boosting overall operational profitability.

"Before implementing EAIGLE, our facility management relied strictly on traditional gate paperwork, which introduced natural visibility gaps in a fast-paced environment," said Chris Somerville, CIO of PortCity. "EAIGLE's technology is helping us shift how we track assets. By capturing data automatically using our existing cameras, it provides our dispatchers and yard crews with much-needed real-time tracking at our entry and exit points. It is helping us automate the gate check-in and check-out process, giving us significantly better visibility and greater confidence in what is currently on the yard."

Accelerating technology adoption and enterprise scaling

EAIGLE said that its collaboration with PortCity marks a key milestone in its broader technology adoption and scaling initiative. As enterprise supply chain operators face increasing pressure to modernize logistics infrastructure, EAIGLE said that it is rapidly deploying its suite of computer vision-based automation offerings across the retail, CPG, manufacturing, transportation and port logistics sectors.

EAIGLE provided the following key highlights of the scaling roll-out:

• Rapid infrastructure deployment: Utilizing EAIGLE's AVAC technology to transform existing camera networks into active data capture points, instantly identifying trailers, containers and seals.
• Seamless gate optimization: Enhancing driver check-in speed and yard navigation, allowing facilities to increase daily gate volume and mitigate operational bottlenecks.
• End-to-end enterprise data orchestration: Connecting real-time gate and yard insights and digital freight records directly with existing TMS, WMS, YMS, ERP and warehouse environments to maintain a unified data stream. 

"True gate automation and yard visibility is an operational necessity for high-throughput and high-pace logistics hubs like PortCity," said Amir Hoss, founder and CEO of EAIGLE. "Our work with the PortCity team demonstrates the immediate, high-impact value that computer vision brings to facility gate operations. This partnership is a success story of EAIGLE's technology adoption and scaling in high-throughput and high-pace logistics."
