Outrider receives first-in-industry SOC 2 Type 2 certification to support scaling of large enterprise autonomous distribution yard operations.

Outrider builds first-in-industry safety system for driverless yard operations in mixed traffic environments. 

Outrider’s industry-first deployment of advanced reinforcement learning (RL) techniques increases path planning speed by 10x, enabling freight to move more efficiently and safely through busy, complex distribution yards.

Autonomous yard trucks leaving Outrider for customer sites.

Outrider’s latest perception technology understands, anticipates, and interacts with the diversity of fixed and moving actors in distribution yards.

Outrider’s trailer inventory technology provides real-time tracking of trailers and containers in yards to increase distribution yard efficiency.

Using sensors, computer vision, and deep-learning models, Outrider provides real-time trailer inventory information to maximize yard throughput.

Outrider’s next-gen autonomous vehicle fleet is dedicated to making distribution yards more efficient, safer, and more sustainable.

Outrider’s autonomous yard trucks – new autonomy kit, new look

TrailerConnect is a patented deep-learning based technology used to robotically connect and disconnect the needed electric and brake lines to any semi-trailer or chassis.

TrailerConnect uses proprietary software algorithms, hardware, and sensors to locate, identify, connect to, and disconnect from trailers with modifications or adapters.

A critical link in the supply chain, distribution yard operations transition goods between the warehouse and the open road.

The Outrider System autonomously moves trailers to and from loading docks and parking spots in distribution yards. 

Exclusively focused on automating all aspects of yard operations, Outrider helps increase the efficiency and improve the safety of distribution yards.

The Outrider System operates as part of daily operations at Georgia-Pacific, autonomously moving goods between its Chicagoland distribution center and the open road.

Multiple trailer moves are dispatched and monitored onsite or remotely – all without teleoperation or other types of human interaction.

Outrider’s autonomous yard trucks back trailers of all types into tight spaces with precision and without modifications to trailers.

Outrider delivers reliable, consistent tractor-trailer hitching that is critical for autonomous yard operations.

Designed to mimic enterprises’ distribution yards, the Outrider Advanced Testing Facility is the first of its kind dedicated to yard automation technologies. 

Outrider yard automation helps drive the adoption of sustainable freight transportation by using electric yard truck platforms.
