Remote truck yard monitoring in Medley

Local and live

Medley's industrial blocks off the Palmetto and US 27

Medley packs about 1,800 businesses into eight square miles of northwest Miami-Dade County, three miles from Miami International Airport and six from Opa-locka Airport, with the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike, the Palmetto Expressway and US 27 running through it. The Florida East Coast Railway's freight line serves warehouses here with direct sidings, and the town's daytime population swells past 60,000 as workers arrive for operations like a 550,000-square-foot food distribution centre, a network of more than 350 warehouses run by one landlord, and cement plants that account for a large share of Florida's output.

That density of warehouses and truck yards has drawn organized theft. A father and son were arrested after a tractor-trailer loaded with roughly $400,000 in cigars, over-the-counter medicine, perfume and footwear was stolen overnight from a truck yard on Northwest 106th Street in November 2022; investigators recovered the empty truck the next day but needed a hidden GPS tracker to find the loaded trailer at a second yard. In a separate case, four men were accused of defrauding a warehouse on Northwest 80th Street of more than $77,000 in plywood, loading it into a trailer before their shift began and reselling it to vendors around Miami-Dade at a discount.

Those cases had one thing in common: nobody was watching when the trailer left. Sigma puts a live agent on every camera at a Medley yard, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so once AI person and vehicle detection flags movement near the tractors after the gates close, that agent can verify it on video right away, deliver a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and call police and your contacts. Yard Operations adds truck and trailer logs and visual seal checks on video.
