Vision AI for Yards
Rover Platform
Smart Rover is a rear-view AI camera for terminal tractors and is trained to identify and track asset moves in real-time
Live Asset Visibility
Automatically learns and builds the view of the yard as assets are moved. Trailers, containers etc. are all tracked in real-time
Live Spotter Activity
Monitor live location, speed disposition (hauling, bobtailing, idling, dropping or hooking) of all the spotters in the yard
Deep Asset Detail
Without any dependency on staff or YMS, the Smart Rover can capture information that was previously not possible including asset type, color, manufacturer, and even chassis number where applicable
Spotter Productivity
Measure yard jockey productivity right out of the box. Moves by hour and detailed insights for every spotter is automatically summarized in real-time thanks to Rover's cutting edge GPS and kinematics
Rich Search Filters
Look up any asset or status of any location on blip's platform. Universal search available at your fingertips
Dwell Time & Spot
Find and report on assets that exceed a predefined dwell time or identify the asset sitting in the same spot for more than specified days
Replay & Heat Map
For the first time, a replay of spotter activity is available for all tractors equipped with a Smart Rover. Research hotspots in the yard
How It Works
Always-on AI powered cameras mounted on spotter trucks is the key to monitoring yard activity
End to End Asset Tracking
(1) IB drivers use Blip Rover mobile app to confirm drop with a photo. (2) Rover on each spotter continously captures every asset move. (3) Guard check confirming exit from the yard on Blip's mobile app
Intelligent Rear View Camera
Install Blip’s Smart Rover on every yard spotter in under an hour. Telematics data starts to appear on the dashboard almost immediately.
Business Insights
Blip Rover's telematics allow generation of reports at a level of detail that were not possible before. Download and analyze data or use canned reports to gain insights for CI and process optimization
Continuous Time-Study
Monitor historical activity patterns to visualize inefficiencies and facilitate proactive operational adjustments
Eliminate Asset Hunts
Physically hunting misplaced trailers drain hours of spotter productivity and create significant logistical bottlenecks. No more hunting
Quickly Identify Dwell
Track end-to-end trailer lifecycles to identify at-risk assets and eliminate unnecessary detention costs
Moves by Hour
Analyze and benchmark moves-per-hour across all spotters to identify performance gaps and provide targeted training for bottom-quartile spotters
Weighted Moves
Rover optimizes traditional moves-per-hour metrics by accounting for distance covered, providing a realistic assessment of spotter efficiency and throughput
Visually detect spotter inefficiency
The color-coded activity bars effectively separates time and distance for all the moves making it easier to spot bottlenecks
