TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS
AUTONOMOUS
Teleo debuts autonomous materials hauling on active jobsites
Teleo announced that Florida-based
Tomahawk Construction will become
the first customer to deploy its autonomous
capabilities on an active jobsite.
Starting in December, Tomahawk
Construction's articulated dump trucks
will use autonomous functions to move
material to build a residential community
in Naples, Florida.
Teleo also announced deals with
eight new construction customers, including
Ajax Paving Industries in
Florida. The new customers have placed
orders for 42 machines to be retrofitted
with Teleo's autonomous and remoteoperated
technology. In addition, the
tech company expanded its global
dealer partner network to include
Ozark Laser, Murphy Tractor and
Position Partners. The expanded network
covers an additional seven states
across the U.S. Midwest and in Australia.
" Construction companies are facing
historic labor shortages and incurring
significant costs as their machines sit
idle, " said Vinay Shet, co-founder and
CEO of Teleo. " We are seeing an unprecedented
number of customer orders,
which demonstrates Teleo's powerful
value proposition. Our technology
breathes new life into our customers'
machines, addresses their labor shortages,
and makes the operators' role
safer and more comfortable. "
The initial autonomous capability being
launched by Teleo is tramming, or
autonomous hauling materials from one
point to another. The autonomous feature
will be introduced on three of
Tomahawk Construction's machines and
roll out to 12 machines over the course
of a few months. By automating the
tramming portion, one operator can run
multiple machines simultaneously. The
physical dumping of materials will be
handled remotely by one operator controlling
multiple machines from a command
center.
" Teleo's technology has the potential
to completely transform our operations, "
said Scott Lyons, managing
member of Tomahawk Construction.
