The Supply Chain Xchange reports that cargo theft is evolving — many thieves now employ digital strategies like fake driver IDs, falsified bills of lading (BOLs), or false carrier credentials to fraudulently pick up shipments.
Fortunately, AI-enabled gate-management systems combined with human oversight can detect and block these “strategic” thefts at facility gates — flagging suspicious IDs or paperwork, cross-checking credentials in real time, and stopping unauthorized pickups before goods move out.
In short: by upgrading from traditional yard security to a hybrid AI-plus-human approach, supply-chain leaders can close digital cargo theft loopholes and significantly strengthen protection at the gate.
