Remote yard monitoring in Saskatoon
Sigma covers Saskatoon truck yards, equipment lots and warehouses the same way whether they sit in Marquis Industrial or the rail-served North Industrial area: live agents, AI cameras and coverage that never clocks out.
Local and live
Freight along Marquis and North Industrial
Saskatoon's freight runs through two industrial areas built around rail. Marquis Industrial sits along Highway 11, which runs north to Prince Albert through Warman, and Highway 12 toward Blaine Lake, with a rail line cutting through its eastern half; equipment, chemical and food-processing businesses operate there alongside trucking yards. On the other side of the city, North Industrial is bounded by Highway 16 (the Yellowhead) to the west, Circle Drive to the south and a rail line along Millar Avenue to the east, and Idylwyld Drive runs through it as part of Highway 11 and the Louis Riel Trail. Both CP and CN operate rail yards in the city, including CN's Chappell Yards and CPR switching yards in the Central Industrial area, and construction equipment, agricultural machinery and warehoused freight move through these yards every day.
Heavy equipment left outside is a target. In 2023, an excavating company in Saskatoon reported a front-end loader worth $90,000 to $120,000 stolen, followed ten days later by a 2007 Kenworth T800 semi-truck worth $100,000 to $150,000; RCMP recovered the loader near Vonda with its decals removed, but the truck was never found. Saskatchewan RCMP's own figures show motor vehicle theft climbing 24 percent since 2016, with trucks the vehicle most often taken. For a yard that keeps equipment or trucks parked outside, an unwatched gate is the opening thieves look for.
Whether the lot is in Marquis Industrial, North Industrial or anywhere else in Saskatoon, Sigma has a live agent on every camera, day and night, all year. A person or vehicle near your trucks or equipment gets flagged by AI detection and reviewed on the live feed right away; the agent's response is a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, then a call to police with footage already in hand. Damage inspections and parking reports come through Yard Operations, and Gate Operations checks every driver against your list before the gate opens.
On the record: An excavating company in Saskatoon reported a front-end loader worth $90,000 to $120,000 stolen on June 23, 2023, followed on July 3 by a 2007 Kenworth T800 semi-truck worth $100,000 to $150,000; the loader was later found near Vonda with its decals removed, but the truck was never recovered.

FAQ
Saskatoon monitoring questions
Can you watch an equipment yard in Marquis Industrial or North Industrial?
Yes, and it works the same no matter which part of Saskatoon your yard is in. Sigma keeps a live agent on every camera, day and night, all year, and AI detection does the work of catching movement near your trucks or equipment the moment it happens. From there it's a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and a call to police.
Can your agents check drivers coming into our Saskatoon yard?
Yes, through Gate Operations. The agent on duty sees the arrival, speaks to the driver over the gate speakers and checks them against your rules or pickup list before the gate opens remotely. Anyone who isn't expected is turned away rather than waved through, and every entry and exit is logged with the time and an image.
How does Sigma get a Saskatoon yard connected to monitoring?
Start with what the site already has: power, an internet connection and a gate. Once those are in place, monitoring runs remotely, and Sigma's technicians come to Saskatoon to install whatever cameras and speakers are needed, connecting any compatible ones that are already there instead of swapping them out.
How do I get started?
Request a free site assessment or call (416) 477-5589 ext 2. A Sigma specialist reviews your layout, existing cameras and risks, then recommends the right coverage, at no cost and with no obligation. Every quote costs less than a 24/7 guard.
