Rail Yard Tracking
Autonomous, real-time visibility of all movements in your yard.
AI powered cameras track railcar locations as they move within your yard, reducing the number of RFID readers required. Compared to traditional systems, this has a significantly lower installation and maintenance costs, with all of the benefits of 24/7 video recordings.

Service Overview
Automatically track railcar movements and locations throughout the yard using AI vision and RFID integration. Operations teams gain real-time visibility into yard activity through an easy-to-use dashboard, reducing the time spent manually locating railcars and verifying movements.
Operational Outcomes
How it works
Cameras monitor movement at key yard locations and switches.
AI vision and RFID identify cars as they move through the yard.
Dashboard reporting centralizes activity, search, and incident review.
Why AI Vision Instead of RFID-Only?
Traditional RFID-only tracking systems can require extensive infrastructure, including power, networking, and conduit installation across dozens of switch locations.
Canopy Vision's AI vision solution reduces hardware and installation requirements by leveraging strategically placed cameras and integrated software — helping reduce deployment complexity, lowering infrastructure costs, and improving operational visibility across the yard.
This Means:
- Fewer hardware installation points
- Reduced conduit and networking requirements
- Lower infrastructure and maintenance costs
- Faster deployment timelines
- Centralized software and reporting
