Loblaw Expands EAIGLE AI Gates Across Distribution Centers, Cutting Truck Check-Ins to Under 30 Seconds

Summary
Loblaw is rolling out EAIGLE’s AI-powered gate system to multiple distribution centers after early results showed faster truck processing, better data accuracy and an improved driver experience.
EAIGLE says the system uses existing security cameras and computer vision to capture more than 25 truck and trailer data points, cutting gate check-ins from about 10 minutes to under 30 seconds.
That matters because trucks often idle outside warehouses burning diesel—averaging $6.13 a gallon in the latest U.S. EIA data—adding transport costs that can feed into grocery and delivery prices.
EAIGLE estimates a facility handling about 200 trucks a day could save roughly $726,000 a year and eliminate about 110,000 pounds of CO2 emissions, though those are company estimates.
The broader payoff is still unproven: faster gate access could ease delays, theft and supply-chain friction, but there is no evidence yet that the technology has directly lowered shopper prices.
