Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Industries that require the repetitive and routine use of mechanical equipment represent huge potential for the use of autonomous robotics. Industries such as mining and construction are key examples of this, but existing technology is difficult to program and restricted within siloes.
SafeAI provides a platform for mining and construction industries that adds infrastructure for the mass automation of mechanical equipment. The platform is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing fleets of equipment and vehicles to be controlled with modularity and scalability in mind. Autonomous control of self-driving construction vehicles can add 1,000 hours of productivity per year, reducing staffing costs and removing the potential for dangerous human errors.
The production and renting of self-driving construction vehicles is a rising trend in robotics, but SafeAI's approach to developing a platform for mass fleet control of these vehicles is an undeniably original stance. The company's late 2022 Series B has enabled the company to focus on furthering its position as a leading global provider as it deploys its solution and expands production over the next few years.
