About the Author
Terminal is a purpose-built, AI-native Yard Operating System (YOS) that provides end-to-end orchestration and automation across the entire yard, from gate to dock and across the network. Eaigle is an AI-powered computer vision platform focused on facility safety and compliance. While both leverage AI and computer vision, Terminal is focused on real-world yard execution, providing deep supply chain execution analytics and full-stack logistics orchestration, whereas Eaigle is primarily designed for facility monitoring.
Why Terminal Wins
Yard Execution, Not Just Monitoring – Terminal orchestrates gate, yard, and dock operations end-to-end; Eaigle is primarily focused on facility monitoring and safety.
Integrated AI & Computer Vision for Operations – Terminal combines vision with workflows for automation; Eaigle mostly provides real-time alerts without deep yard orchestration.
Workflow Automation & Decision Support – Terminal gives actionable insights to operators and automates tasks; Eaigle’s automation is limited to general facility efficiency.
