Problem
Logistics hubs rely on manual and repetitive yard operations, which are inefficient, unsafe, and environmentally unsustainable due to the use of diesel-powered yard trucks. These manual processes lead to increased turn times, underutilization of space, safety hazards for on-site employees, and high carbon emissions.
Solution
Outrider offers an integrated system to automate yard operations for logistics hubs, encompassing management software, autonomous electric vehicles, and site infrastructure. This system improves efficiency by automating tasks such as trailer moves, improves safety by minimizing human-machine interaction in the yard, and promotes sustainability through the use of electric vehicles, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The integrated approach allows for optimized turn times, better space utilization, and enhanced asset tracking within the yard. By automating these critical processes, Outrider enables logistics-heavy enterprises to achieve more efficient, safer, and sustainable yard operations.
Target Audience
Outrider targets enterprises in logistics-heavy industries such as consumer packaged goods, retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, package delivery, and intermodal rail that are looking to automate and optimize their yard operations.
