Blue Yonder's Yard Management system uses cameras and computer vision — AI that interprets what it sees in video feeds — to automatically identify and track trucks, trailers, and containers moving in and out of logistics yards, without relying on manual check-ins. This capability was introduced in the September 2024 product release.
Details
Computer vision is an AI technology that enables software to identify and classify objects in images or video — in this case, recognizing vehicles and assets in a logistics yard in real time. The system operates as part of Blue Yonder's broader yard management offering, reducing the need for manual yard checks or radio-frequency identification (RFID) scanning. Its development reflects the hardware-plus-software integration strategy enabled by Blue Yonder's ownership by Panasonic, whose Panasonic Connect division and Zetes subsidiary produce industrial cameras, mobile computers, and edge computing devices used in supply chain settings.
