Remote yard monitoring in Augusta, Georgia

Local and live

Augusta's manufacturing corridor on I-20

Augusta sits on I-20, with I-520 looping the south side of the metro and I-95 and I-77 within easy reach, putting both the Port of Savannah and the Port of Charleston under 150 miles away. Augusta-Richmond County ranks as the sixth-largest county in Georgia for imports and exports moving through the Port of Savannah, itself now the fifth-largest seaport in the country. Textron Specialized Vehicles and Club Car, which build golf cars and utility vehicles here, have earned the area the name Golf Car Capital of the World, and its manufacturers also include International Paper, John Deere and Kellogg, each running its own trucking and distribution yards.

Plants and distribution yards on that scale keep trailers, parts and finished goods moving through the area, and copper has become part of the exposure: A major telecom carrier says Georgia ranks among the top five states for copper wire theft and that the Augusta area has been hit hard, pointing to a December 2024 incident in which thieves cut about 200 feet of fiber and copper cable from lines on Horizon Parkway in nearby Grovetown. The same opening applies on an industrial lot: parked trailers, equipment and anything with resale value left where nobody is watching overnight.

Augusta-area yards get a live agent on every camera under Sigma, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, instead of a recording that gets reviewed after something's gone. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone moving through once a shift ends, the watching agent checks the footage and gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, then calls police and writes up what happened alongside the video. Gate Operations checks drivers against your schedule before the gate opens.
