Yard management technology provider Gatego announced Monday it has launched its gate management system after years of piloting the technology with undisclosed partners.
Gatego was founded by CEO Adrian Garcia, whose firsthand experience in his family’s trailer yards highlighted the inefficiencies of traditional systems.
“I grew up around trailer yards, and even as a kid, I could see how archaic the systems were,” Garcia explained to FreightWaves in an interview. “My family was still using pen and paper to track who was coming in and out. I knew there had to be a better way.”
What began as an effort to automate trailer gate operations for his family quickly evolved into a larger mission to digitize yard management entirely.
“Automation requires data, and we didn’t have the imagery or information needed to train our AI and computer vision models,” Garcia said.
He set out to address this gap, building a system that captured that detailed yard data needed to streamline operations.
At the core of its solution is the integration of advanced AI models, including proprietary technology and general purpose systems, to achieve accuracy by combining multiple data sources.
The platform is powered by Happy Robot, an AI voice agent that captures additional information beyond what cameras detect and communicates vital instructions and facility details to drivers.
