EAIGLE and Loblaw Companies Limited are expanding their partnership to deploy AI-powered gate automation technology across multiple Loblaw distribution-centre yards, building on earlier results aimed at reducing processing times and improving data accuracy and visibility.
The expanded rollout of EAIGLE’s Vision AI technology is focused on automating gate operations and improving the movement of vehicles through Loblaw’s distribution network. The companies say the technology is also intended to improve the driver experience and provide greater visibility into yard operations.
Expanding the technology rollout
Loblaw is scaling EAIGLE’s Vision AI across multiple yards and distribution centres as the companies look to improve the efficiency of vehicle access and related processes. EAIGLE’s AVAC technology automates routine gate processes, with the companies saying it can improve visibility and support more efficient movement of vehicles through distribution centres.
“We’re always looking for practical ways to improve how products move through our network so we can better serve our customers,” said Wael Yehia, Vice President, National Transportation at Loblaw. “Working with Canadian innovators like EAIGLE allows us to leverage technologies that can help improve efficiency, support our operations teams and keep products moving reliably across our network.”
The companies said the expansion is intended to address gate operations, which they describe as an important part of maintaining efficiency, security and resilience in supply chains. EAIGLE’s technology uses vision AI to automate vehicle access control, capture data and support real-time decision-making while reducing operational disruption.
“This is about scaling what works in real operations, a practical and measurable use of applied AI in supply chains,” said Amir Hoss, Chief Executive Officer at EAIGLE. “It should strengthen existing workflows, not replace them. What we’re seeing with Loblaw is a clear example of how Vision AI can be deployed at scale to improve consistency, throughput, and visibility across facilities.”
Integration with existing systems
EAIGLE said its platform uses computer vision to validate vehicles and capture freight data in real time. The technology integrates with existing warehouse management systems, transportation management systems, yard management systems and enterprise resource planning systems.
The companies said the expanded collaboration reflects Loblaw’s focus on improving efficiency and visibility across its distribution network while highlighting the use of Canadian technology to address supply-chain and logistics operations.
EAIGLE describes itself as a computer vision and data orchestration platform for gate and yard automation. Its AI-based platform is designed for supply-chain and logistics companies, with applications related to security, transportation and operational processes.
