Autonomous Yard Decisioning
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Yard coordinators still make every move decision: which trailer to pull, which door to assign, which spotter to dispatch. The system tracks and alerts but does not decide.
Yard Coordinator, Dock Supervisor, Facility Manager, Spotter Supervisor
The Outcome (After)
Dynamic Yard + Alan + AutoGate operate as a unified AI yard operating system. The system continuously evaluates yard state, inbound ETAs, dock availability, and business priority to make autonomous move decisions, reassign doors, and preempt congestion without coordinator intervention.
Most yard tools track and alert but still leave every move decision to a coordinator. This closes the loop, deciding which trailer to pull, which door to assign, and which spotter to dispatch, calibrated against network-wide facility benchmarks no single site could build.

How it works
Dynamic Yard, Alan, and AutoGate operate as a single AI yard operating system. It continuously reads yard state, inbound ETAs, dock availability, and business priority, then makes move decisions, reassigns doors, and preempts congestion automatically — without waiting for a coordinator.
Spotter efficiency benchmarks by facility type and throughput volume, Optimal task routing patterns from cross-facility network data, Facility dwell benchmark for autonomous priority calibration. Carrier arrival pattern predictions for proactive staging.
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.
The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company facility and yard intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.
