Remote yard monitoring in Modesto, California

Local and live

Highway 99 and the Beard Industrial Park

Interstate 5 and State Route 99 are Modesto's main highway links, and Highway 99 has exits in the city for State Route 132, which heads west toward Interstate 580 and the Bay Area, and State Route 108, which climbs toward Oakdale and the eastern foothills. Rail freight moves on the Modesto and Empire Traction Company, a short line with 5 miles of main track and 48.7 miles of yard and industry track inside the Beard Industrial Park. It hands cars to Union Pacific in Modesto and to BNSF at Empire, carrying food products, wine, syrup, plastic and paper products.

Stanislaus County's 2024 agriculture report valued the county's farm output at $3.15 billion, led by almonds at $824 million, milk at $755 million and poultry at $292 million, and Highway 99 exists in large part to move that output to processing and packing businesses. That leaves Modesto yards holding loaded reefers, tractors and trailers through nights and long weekends. Vehicle theft has deep roots here: the Manteca Bulletin, citing national insurance crime data, reported that the Modesto and Stockton metro areas sat in the US top 10 year after year between 2003 and 2015.

For a Modesto cold storage yard or processing-plant lot, Sigma's agents watch every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection picks up movement between parked reefers or along the fence, the agent confirms it on video and uses a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, then calls police and your contacts if the person stays. Gate Operations lets agents check each arriving driver against your schedules and open the gate remotely, and Yard Operations records trailer damage, visual seal checks on video and parking positions.
