Outrider produces next generation of automated freight-yard equipment

GOLDEN and BRIGHTON — Outrider Technologies Inc., with headquarters in Golden and an advanced testing facility in Brighton, has developed its next generation of autonomous freight-yard operations equipment.

Outrider produces equipment to automate yard operations for warehouses, manufacturing facilities and logistics hubs. Its new technology, according to a press statement from the company today, provides “over-the-air software updates and field-swappable units … to deliver enterprise-class reliability, enable remote technical support, and efficiently service the system in the field.” 

“Distribution yards are harsh industrial environments with around-the-clock operations, which means our autonomous system must be rugged, easy to service, and remotely supportable,” Andrew Smith, founder and CEO of Outrider, said in a written statement. “This robust autonomy kit is the next critical step in Outrider’s efforts to make yard operations more efficient, safer, and more sustainable for our Fortune 500, logistics-dependent customers.”
