Launch HN: Transload (YC P26) – Measuring freight items with CCTV
Summary
Transload is building a system to measure freight dimensions automatically from existing CCTV in freight terminals using monocular depth estimation and 3D bounding boxes. The approach links barcode scans to video frames and trains a custom 3D perception model, aiming to replace dedicated dimensioning stations and improve revenue accuracy and trailer utilization. Early results show ~10% dimension errors on checked shipments with current customers, with future potential for broader adoption.
