Symboticware has announced a partnership with industrial autonomous vehicle technology provider, Cyngn.
The partnership will, the companies say, make it easier for natural resources organisations to integrate Cyngn’s autonomous vehicle technology into their existing fleet and to manage these advanced capabilities with Symboticware’s Intelligent Operating System, 4-Sight.ai.
Symboticware’s flagship product, 4-Sight.ai is an industrial operating system with the potential to transform 4 million vehicles globally into smart, connected assets, according to the company. Through the Cyngn partnership, Symboticware customers may also manage their autonomous vehicle investments using the same platform, it says.
Cyngn’s autonomous vehicle technology has been designed from the ground up to integrate smoothly into the daily operations of industrial organisations. Vehicles running Cyngn’s technology can switch between manual, remotely-controlled, and fully autonomous driving modes, according to the company.
In addition to bringing self-driving capabilities to industrial fleets, Cyngn’s advanced safety features include machine vision-based collision avoidance and a backup system that brings equipment to a stop in case of emergency. Through 4-Sight.ai’s portal, vehicle operators can be immediately notified of emergencies along with the location of the equipment involved.
“Safety is the strategic priority for companies in the natural resources space,” Symboticware CEO, Ash Agarwal, says. “This is why we are proud that 4-Sight.ai – the industry’s first Operating System of Intelligence – will enable our clients to not only increase their assets’ productivity but also reduce unsafe incidents thanks to Cyngn’s AI-powered safety technology.”
Cyngn CEO, Lior Tal, says: “We are excited to make it easier for our clients to manage their autonomous vehicles through this integration with the 4-Sight.ai ecosystem. Cyngn’s AV technology integrates with a variety of commercially-available machines. We look forward to enabling companies in the mining, agriculture, construction and forestry sectors to bring greater autonomous capabilities and safety to their operations.”
Cyngn is part of 4-Sight.ai’s marketplace launch lineup. The innovative products of third-party technology providers will use the hardware and software capabilities of Symboticware devices and 4-Sight.ai, enabling companies across the natural resources industry to achieve ambitious operational and sustainability-related goals, the companies say.
