Teleo is expanding its focus to deploy autonomous heavy machinery into new industries beyond construction.
The company has announced it has secured orders for 34 machines and has also secured nine new customer deals in the pulp and paper, logging, port logistics; munition clearing, and agriculture industries. Teleo is also targeting expansion into other industries such as airports, waste and recycling, logistics, warehousing, and has announced its official entry into the Australian market.
Teleo converts any heavy equipment, such as bulldozers, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks and more, into autonomous robots. Its Supervised Autonomy keeps human operators in the loop, enabling one human to oversee multiple autonomous machines at once. The human operator acts as a supervisor with the ability to step in remotely if needed.
By doing so, Teleo is taking the operator out of the machine and away from the job site, into a remote central command center. This makes the operator’s role safer, comfortable and more accessible. Furthermore, the technology helps address the growing labor shortage that is currently affecting multiple industries.
Vinay Shet, co-founder and CEO, Teleo, said, “While construction remains a core industry for us, it’s evident that our technology offers significant value across a broader range of sectors. Our machine-agnostic and industry-agnostic approach ensures quick and easy deployment, allowing us to launch at diverse job sites, from remote and bustling to large and small, and from indoor to outdoor environments.”
