Remote yard monitoring in Winnipeg

Local and live

Yards around CentrePort Canada and the Symington rail yard

CentrePort Canada gives Winnipeg access to three Class I railways, CPKC, CN and BNSF, across a 20,000-acre inland port and trade zone that spans CentrePort South inside city limits and CentrePort North in the Rural Municipality of Rosser, with about 13,000 acres still available for development. CentrePort Canada Way, a 10-kilometre expressway linking Inkster Boulevard to the Perimeter Highway, was built to move freight efficiently, and roughly two-thirds of Manitoba's trucking industry is based in the area. The Perimeter Highway's 90-kilometre ring connects to the Trans-Canada Highway on both the east and west sides of the city. East of downtown, CN's Symington Yard on Lagimodiere Boulevard, open since 1961, is one of the largest rail classification yards anywhere, and Winnipeg Richardson International Airport logged more than 4,300 cargo flights in 2024 on round-the-clock cargo operations.

Winnipeg police's 2025 annual statistical report found theft from vehicles up 13 percent over the year, even as the city's overall crime severity fell 8.8 percent and property crime stayed close to 2024 levels. Trailers and cargo left on an open lot are a direct target: in March 2025, Winnipeg police said a 2024 enclosed utility trailer worth about $10,000 was stolen from a business in the 4000 block of McGillivray Boulevard, and officers recovered it three days later after posing as buyers when the suspects tried to sell it online. For a yard near CentrePort or the Symington line, that kind of after-hours loss is what live monitoring is built to catch.

Sigma's agents watch every camera on a Winnipeg yard live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the trailers or equipment after the gate closes, an agent checks the footage, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police and your own contacts. Gate Operations lets agents verify each driver against your pickup list before opening the gate remotely, and Yard Operations covers truck and trailer damage inspections, visual seal checks on video and parking reports for loads waiting on the next leg out of CentrePort.
