SafeAI upgrades existing heavy mining and construction vehicles with autonomous technology through retrofit kits that add hardware and software to any vehicle regardless of type or manufacturer. The system uses on-vehicle cameras, radar, and LiDAR, with onboard computing to sense the environment, create real-time maps, and detect obstacles for autonomous operation. This enables roughly 1,000 additional productive hours per vehicle per year, improving project speed, safety, and cost efficiency. Revenue comes from selling retrofit kits and ongoing software licenses or maintenance. What sets SafeAI apart is its ability to retrofit a wide range of equipment from multiple manufacturers, combining expertise from autonomous tech with heavy-industry know-how to deliver practical, scalable autonomous solutions. The company’s goal is to help heavy industries increase productivity, enhance safety, and reduce costs by turning existing equipment into autonomous assets.
