A busy yard with no visibility, accountability, or safety signals.

A major airport operated a large outdoor yard used to store Unit Load Devices (ULDs). Multiple ground-handling teams and airline partners regularly accessed this area, but the airport had limited visibility into how the yard was being used — which partners occupied the most space, when peak congestion occurred, how much capacity was truly available, and where safety risks were emerging. ULDs were placed in restricted or unsafe zones, causing operational inefficiencies, blocking access paths, and creating compliance concerns.

Our approach

Count it. Attribute it. Police the safety zones.

AI computer vision automatically detected, counted, and tracked ULDs across the yard — identifying which airline or ground-handling partner each belonged to based on container markings, monitoring adherence to designated storage boundaries, and flagging ULDs placed in restricted or unsafe locations.

The Technology

Outdoor yard, indoor visibility.

Eye4.ai's computer vision brings live operational visibility to an environment that had been managed by sight and guesswork — turning the outdoor yard into a measurable, accountable space.
