Panel to highlight how automation and autonomy are delivering measurable results across yard and transportation operations today
HENDERSON, Nev., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YMX Logistics, a leading national third-party logistics provider specializing in integrated yard logistics for enterprise shippers, today announced that CEO Matt Yearling will speak at the ACT Expo session titled “Real-World Automation: On the Road and In the Yard,” taking place Monday, May 4, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. PT.
Yearling will join a panel of industry leaders, including Lior Ron, Chief Operating Officer at Waabi; Paul DiLaura, Chief Commercial Officer at Gatik AI; and Sasko Cuklev, Head of On-Road Solutions at Volvo Autonomous Solutions. The session will be moderated by Seth DeVlugt, Senior Director, Ryder Ventures and New Product Strategy, Ryder System Inc.
As automation and autonomy technologies move beyond pilots and into daily operations, the session will focus on how fleets are integrating autonomous systems, digital twins, connected infrastructure, and operational processes to drive measurable improvements in uptime, efficiency, and safety.
“Autonomy happens at the convergence of digital intelligence and physical execution,” said Matt Yearling. “We’re seeing real progress in yard operations, but autonomy isn’t achieved through isolated technologies. It requires an operating system that continuously captures data, improves decision-making, and drives ongoing optimization. That’s what turns autonomy into consistent, predictable, scalable performance.”
This session builds on YMX’s recent announcement of the industry’s first Autonomous Yard Operating System. For more details, read the full announcement here: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ymx-logistics-introduces-the-first-autonomous-yard-operating-system-302740436.html
