Remote yard and site monitoring in Winston-Salem
In Winston-Salem, Sigma's agents hold a live view of truck yards, distribution warehouses and job sites through the night, checking in expected drivers at the gate and talking down anyone who isn't supposed to be there.
Local and live
Freight on the Northern Beltway and the five-interstate crossroads
Logistics and distribution companies in Winston-Salem work within half an hour of five interstates, three major rail lines and an international airport, and the sector already employs 10,892 people in Forsyth County, about 5 percent of the county's jobs. The Winston-Salem Northern Beltway, planned to run about 30 miles around the city, now has roughly 12.5 miles open after its eastern segment opened to traffic in September 2026, tying I-40 to US 52 and eventually US 421. Warehousing in the area includes a CSX laydown yard alongside Amazon and FedEx Ground operations.
North Carolina ranks eighth nationally for cargo theft, which pushed the state to rewrite its penalties for stealing freight in a law that took effect in December 2023. The National Insurance Crime Bureau counted 20,395 vehicles stolen across North Carolina in 2025, the eighth-highest state total in the country; that's a statewide figure, not one published for Winston-Salem alone, but it points to the same risk facing any yard here: equipment, trailers and parked vehicles left without anyone watching overnight.
Sigma keeps a live agent on every camera at a Winston-Salem yard, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so footage isn't just something reviewed after the fact. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement near the fence line after the gates close, the agent checks the feed and delivers a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, calling police if the person stays put. Gate Operations checks each driver against your pickup list before letting them in, while Yard Operations covers damage inspections and visual seal checks on outbound trailers.

FAQ
Winston-Salem monitoring questions
Can you watch a distribution yard near the Northern Beltway or along I-40?
Yes. The yard stays on live camera watch around the clock, with nights, weekends and holidays no exception. AI person and vehicle detection flags movement, the agent already assigned to that camera checks it and gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, calling police if needed.
Can your agents check in drivers at our Winston-Salem distribution dock?
Yes. With Gate Operations, an agent sees each driver on camera, speaks to them through the gate speakers and confirms the visit against your pickup list or schedule before opening the gate remotely. Anyone not expected is turned away, and the visit is still logged with the time and an image.
Sigma isn't based in Winston-Salem. How does setup work for our site?
Being based in Acton, Ontario doesn't change how the monitoring works, since it all runs over the site's own internet connection; the one in-person step is the install, when technicians travel to a Winston-Salem site to put in the cameras and speakers it needs. Compatible cameras already there can often be hooked up instead of replaced, and the site keeps the power, the internet connection and the gate on its side.
