Making Every Loading Bay Earn Its Space
Manhattan Mini Storage used Safari AI to measure loading dock and parking stall occupancy and vehicle dwell time across its storage facilities.
Measured from existing loading dock cameras
In Manhattan, every loading bay was expensive real estate.
Storage customers arrived by car and van to load and unload, and every facility needed enough curb and dock space to serve them. Without measurements, it was impossible to tell which stalls sat idle, how long vehicles stayed, or which locations needed more space.
- There was no record of how often each stall or bay was used
- Long stays blocked space for the next customer
- There was no way to compare utilization across locations
Every stall, every vehicle, every location.
Connected to loading dock cameras via an on-premise server
Existing loading dock and parking cameras fed a lightweight on-premise server Safari AI deployed, so video was processed on site.
Measured occupancy and dwell time
Computer vision tracked when each stall and bay was occupied and how long each vehicle stayed.
Compared utilization across stores
Dashboards ranked stalls and locations by utilization, so underused space could be repurposed and busy sites got attention.
Note: Illustrative data
More value from every foot of curb and dock.
Every stall and bay was measured in real time, so decisions about valuable space rest on data, not impressions.
Stalls that sat idle were identified, so they can be converted into new revenue streams.
Utilization was compared across locations, showing which facilities need more dock space and which can do with less.
Action Center: From Insight to Action.
Measurements like these feed Safari AI's Action Center, which flags an overstaying vehicle or a full dock before the next customer arrives.

- Recommendations grounded in your own written SOPs, not generic best practices.
