We build
spatial intelligence

The last stretch of automation is the coordinate on the floor.
The robots existed and the work existed.
The thing joining them did not.

Mission & Vision
Mission

We make the coordinates
the floor runs on

A robot cannot work until it knows the state the plant is in right now. We read the whole plant in 3D, build the coordinates a robot can act on, and take over the work people were doing on top of them.

Vision

No process should stop
for want of people

Shipbuilding and heavy industry are running short of people while automation has not reached them. We are turning the stretch that could never be written as rules into work a robot can take.

Principles

How we work

01Site data only comes from doing the work

We gather it in real yards, not in simulation. Delivering a project and building the ground for the next task happen at the same time.

02Flexible perception, unyielding execution

Ten photographs to adapt to a site we have never seen, and not a millimetre of drift once the work starts. Flexibility and precision belong in different layers.

03We are not tied to hardware

A cheaper or better robot arrives and we swap it in. What we make is not the robot but the coordinates the robot uses. Plenty of companies build sensors, robots and task policies. The layer that reads a whole plant and supplies those coordinates was empty.

04We replace a process, not run a pilot

We do not take on projects that end at a demonstration. A job is done when work people used to do has actually been handed over.

Where we sit

Outside the line

100% Inside the line The same part flows to the same place, so it could be written as a rule. This stretch was finished forty years ago.
100% Outside the line Automation has not reached this stretch. And the largest industrial value in the world sits here.

Shipbuilding and heavy industry are that outside. Every part has a different shape and lands in a different place, so the work of looking and judging has stayed with people.

It was left behind because it could not be written as a rule, and that is exactly why it is priced highest.

LiOps works outside the line.

Team

Who builds it

Perception and control are built by one team.

When the vision company and the robot company are separate, a drift in coordinates turns into an argument and a person ends up teaching the path again. So a single team holds the whole chain, from sensor to robot.

We spend more time in the yard than in the office, because we do not buy data, we make it on site. Everything from scanning to verification happens inside the shipyard.
