542: End Yard Blindness For Good, with Aviro360

In this episode of Let's Talk Supply Chain, host Sarah Barnes Humphrey sits down with Ilhan, CEO of Aviro360, at the Manifest expo to tackle the pervasive issue of 'yard blindness' in supply chains. Yard blindness—lack of real-time visibility into asset movements, gate activity, and yard inventory—leads to reactive operations, inefficiencies, and poor decision-making. Ilhan explains how Aviro360’s hardware-enabled AI platform delivers actionable visibility by capturing real-time data at gates and across yards, integrating seamlessly with existing systems like TMS, YMS, and ERP without replacing them. The company positions itself as a 'vitamin' to enhance existing systems, bridging the gap between digital records and physical reality. With case studies showing savings of over $650,000 per site annually and 99% inventory accuracy in under an hour, Aviro360 transforms yard operations into proactive, automated, and secure processes. The episode underscores the human and business impact: faster driver turnarounds, reduced mental load on teams, improved safety, and stronger carrier relationships—all while driving measurable ROI.
