Remote yard monitoring in Bolingbrook

Local and live

Warehouses at the I-55/I-355 interchange

Bolingbrook grew up around the interchange of I-55 and I-355, one of the busiest freight corridors in the Chicago area, with Illinois Route 53 running through town as well. The village, which spans both Will and DuPage counties, now holds roughly 13 million square feet of industrial and warehouse space, much of it distribution centres and light-manufacturing buildings built to move goods onto the interstate within minutes.

Full trailers sitting in a lot overnight have been a recurring target in Bolingbrook. In one theft, more than 300 televisions worth $148,000 were taken from a trailer parked on the 100 block of East Crossroads Parkway over the Thanksgiving weekend of 2017, with no break-in at any building required; the trailer was simply parked and unwatched between loads. The same exposure applies to any lot where loaded trailers wait for the next leg of a trip.

At a Bolingbrook yard, every camera has a live agent watching it around the clock, so a parked trailer isn't left unwatched between pickups. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the trailers or dock doors after hours, an agent verifies it on video and gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and police are called with video evidence. A Bolingbrook quote, like any other, costs less than a 24/7 on-site guard, with nights, weekends and holidays included.
