Slamcore Aware
Slamcore Aware is a robust, vision-based Real Time Location System (RTLS) enabling precise tracking of forklifts and other manually driven vehicles and unlocking valuable insights to improve efficiency of intralogistics operations
What is Slamcore Aware?
Our first dedicated solution for the intralogistics industry, Slamcore Aware unlocks a new level of spatial intelligence by enabling forklifts and other manually driven vehicles to see and understand their surroundings.
Know where your vehicles are at all times. Improve operational efficiency and safety.
Real-time vision-based localization with no infrastructure
Our visual-inertial SLAM provides an accurate 3D position of the vehicle without the need for expensive infrastructure, enhancing robustness and accuracy for demanding industrial applications across large-scale environments
Plug and play hardware to retrofit on any vehicle
Our AI comes pre-installed on an industrial-grade hardware module that can be easily retrofitted to existing vehicles, allowing a simple evaluation and ability to scale quickly
Object detection for increased safety
Identify objects such as people and other vehicles and share their position with the driver and the central facility management system to create a safer environment for all
Stream data wirelessly and connect via lightweight API
Local spatial intelligence is shared wirelessly. Enable monitoring, analysis and optimization of facility operations by seamlessly integrating with existing fleet / warehouse management systems
Benefits
Be at the forefront of technological innovation for operational efficiency
Analyse historical vehicle and material flow
Review vehicle flow to identify and understand the cause of bottlenecks, monitor time spent driving unloaded and measure the impact of your changes
Gain immediate insights
The easy installation and commissioning process ensures automatic map alignment and map sharing for enhanced performance. Live positioning data is available immediately without the need to survey, measure or map the entire facility.
Improve operational efficiency
Continuous tracking of both manual and autonomous vehicles to ensure they are used effectively, reducing unnecessary bottlenecks and downtime
Increase safety
Alert drivers to other people, vehicles and potential hazards in the vicinity; implement automatic no-go zones
Save time and money
A detailed real-time view of the manual fleet can be integrated with existing systems within minutes, allowing you to iterate, react and make decisions much faster

FAQs
Slamcore Aware calculates the position of the manual forklift at any point within the facility. This position is shared as 3 numbers X, Y and Orientation. With our advanced perception feature we also calculate the position of objects observed as well as the object type e.g. person, palette, vehicle. This data is calculated on-device and then shared wirelessly.
We do provide a basic dashboard and tools to query the health and status of the device but this is the limit of the wider offering. Slamcore Aware is ultimately a data generation device. This data is shared wireless and accessed via a RestAPI. It has been designed to integrate seamlessly with in-house and third-party software applications to allow you to turbo-charge your existing and future capabilities.
The data from Slamcore Aware can be easily integrated with in-house or third-party software via our our Rest API. For historical analytics, dedicated software is required such as Tableau, PowerBI or even Excel. For real-time fleet orchestration, a fleet management system would be required which can be provided by one of our many partners.
Slamcore Aware uses cameras and an embedded compute platform that is mounted to the vehicle being tracked. It therefore has minimal infrastructure requirements compared to alternative RTLS solutions. To communicate with WMS/FMS or other applications located off the vehicle, Slamcore Aware can connect to existing Wi-Fi systems. Slamcore Aware can also use low-cost visual fiducial markers in a facility for global coordinate alignment with a simple commissioning and maintenance process.
No. No personal identification information is available via Slamcore Aware. Slamcore Aware processes the information on device/on the edge in a secure way and only the relevant outputs such as positioning of the vehicle, positioning of the surrounding people and other vehicles, classification of the detected objects (e.g. vehicle, person, box, etc.) are produced by the system.
Slamcore Aware can operate without internet connectivity, however, certain functionalities may only be available when internet connectivity is enabled. The system can handle situations where internet connectivity might drop out temporarily during live operation.
