Remote yard monitoring in Buffalo

Freight at the Peace Bridge and the I-190 corridor

Buffalo sits at one of the busiest crossings on the Canada-US border. The Peace Bridge carries more than a million trucks a year into Fort Erie, Ontario, and feeds I-190, which begins at I-90 (the Thruway) in Cheektowaga near Buffalo Niagara International Airport, bisects downtown Buffalo between KeyBank Center and Sahlen Field, and continues north along the Niagara River to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge into Canada. I-90 itself crosses the city on its way from Cheektowaga toward Erie, Pennsylvania, and Albany, giving yards here two border crossings and a cross-state route to work with.

Cross-border traffic also brings cross-border vehicle crime. At the Peace Bridge's commercial inspection lanes, US Customs and Border Protection officers have intercepted vehicles reported stolen in Ontario hidden inside an enclosed trailer, including two luxury SUVs worth a combined more than $600,000 that were pulled from one truck after officers cross-checked the VINs. For a yard near the crossing, the lesson is the same one CBP's own officers rely on: cameras and checks catch what a quick look alone might miss.

Sigma's agents watch a Buffalo-area yard's cameras live around the clock, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the fence line, trailers or the gate; an agent checks it live, gives a live, instant talk-down over the site's speakers, and escalates to police and your contacts with the video. Gate Operations checks each driver against your rules or pickup lists before the gate opens, with every entry and exit logged with the time and an image.
