The Challenge
Security concerns that keep you up at night
Cargo Theft at Scale
Cargo theft costs U.S. businesses an estimated $15 to $35 billion annually. CargoNet recorded 1,778 theft events in 2023, with the average claim value exceeding $200,000. Strategic theft involving fraud and identity deception increased 430% from 2022 to 2023.
Warehouse Perimeter Exposure
Large warehouse facilities with multiple loading docks, staging areas, and employee entrances create extensive perimeters that are difficult to monitor with fixed cameras alone. Blind spots at fence lines and remote corners invite unauthorized access.
Loading Dock Vulnerability
Department of Transportation data shows that loading dock theft peaks between 6 PM Friday and 6 AM Monday, when staffing is lowest. High-value goods sitting on docks during shift changes and weekends are primary targets.
Supply Chain Visibility Gaps
Approximately 70% of cargo thefts occur at unsecured parking lots and rest areas according to CargoNet research. Once goods leave the warehouse, visibility drops. Comprehensive security requires coverage that extends beyond the building walls.
How Iron Gate Solves It
Purpose-built security technology for your environment
FreightGuard Cargo Monitoring
Purpose-built for logistics environments with license plate recognition, vehicle tracking, and automated alerts for unauthorized trailer movement. Monitor loading docks, staging areas, and yard operations 24/7.
SecMods for Perimeter and Yard
Solar-powered surveillance units that cover fence lines, parking areas, and remote sections of large properties. Deploy without running power or network cables across expansive warehouse campuses.
Access Control Integration
Control entry to warehouses, loading docks, and restricted areas with card, fob, or biometric credentials. Track every entry and exit with time-stamped logs for loss prevention investigations.
AI-Powered Threat Detection
Automated monitoring identifies unauthorized vehicles, after-hours activity, fence-line breaches, and suspicious behavior patterns. Instant alerts to security teams without requiring constant human monitoring.
Cellular Connectivity
4G/5G LTE connections mean no dependency on warehouse WiFi networks. Independent connectivity ensures surveillance stays operational even during network outages or IT maintenance windows.
Portable Deployment
Relocate units as operations shift between facilities, seasonal storage sites, or temporary staging areas. No permanent installation means security moves with your supply chain.
