THE AI ANGLE
Extracting vehicle identifiers and carrier details from gate video

A major grocer used computer vision and yard software to trace five short cheese shipments worth $60,000 to a specific truck and driver. The platform logs trailer numbers, license plates, and carrier logos at the facility gate. This replaces paper logs and spreadsheets with searchable digital records for investigating freight shortages.
