Canadian companies collaborate on technology to improve yard and distribution centre operations

TORONTO, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Canadian companies committed to innovation, EAIGLE and Loblaw Companies Limited are expanding their partnership to improve gate operations at Loblaw distribution centres. The expanded rollout of AI-powered gate automation technology is designed to improve efficiency and visibility across yard and distribution operations. Loblaw Companies Limited is scaling EAIGLE’s Vision AI across multiple yards and distribution centers, building on early results in reducing processing times, enhancing the driver experience and increasing data accuracy at the gate and in the yard.

EAIGLE’s AVAC™ technology helps automate routine gate processes, improving visibility and supporting more efficient movement of vehicles through distribution centres.

“We’re always looking for practical ways to improve how products move through our network so we can better serve our customers,” said Wael Yehia, Vice President, National Transportation at Loblaw. “Working with Canadian innovators like EAIGLE allows us to leverage technologies that can help improve efficiency, support our operations teams and keep products moving reliably across our network.”

Supply chains today face increasing pressure to operate with precision, speed, security, and resilience. Gate operations play a critical role in maintaining that balance. EAIGLE’s approach applies vision AI to automate vehicle access control, capture critical data, and enable real-time decision-making while reducing operational disruption and keeping essential goods flowing for Canadians.

“This is about scaling what works in real operations, a practical and measurable use of applied AI in supply chains,” said Amir Hoss, Chief Executive Officer at EAIGLE. “It should strengthen existing workflows, not replace them. What we’re seeing with Loblaw is a clear example of how Vision AI can be deployed at scale to improve consistency, throughput, and visibility across facilities.”

The collaboration also highlights the joint commitment to strengthening Canadian supply chains through innovation. For Loblaw, the expanded partnership reflects its ongoing focus on finding practical ways to improve efficiency, visibility and the movement of goods across its distribution network.

EAIGLE’s platform uses advanced computer vision to validate vehicles and capture freight data in real-time. This tech-first approach integrates seamlessly with existing WMS, TMS, YMS and ERP systems, turning the distribution gate into a source of live intelligence rather than a point of delay. This collaboration highlights the strength of the Canadian tech corridor in developing world-class AI solutions for global infrastructure challenges.
