At FORT, we’re committed to developing technology that makes work safer and more secure. Part of that effort is complying with the latest security standards and best practices to keep our customer’s information protected. That’s why we are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed our examination for SOC 2, Type 1. We’re proud to have this recognition of the hard work our team is doing to keep data as secure as possible.
As we enter a new season here at FORT, we are excited to welcome Justin Brown as our new VP of Sales.
Smart technology is leading to increased productivity and safety for workers across several industries including agriculture, construction, lawn care, and warehousing. With the addition of autonomy, workers are able to focus on higher-valued tasks instead of the 3Ds - dull, dirty, and dangerous. Though machines are “smarter,” there are still dangers that exist with onsite production. As artificial intelligence develops, it is still necessary for people to stay in the loop and have the ability to intervene or take control of a machine at a moment’s notice. With FORT’s Safe Remote Control (SRC), complex worksites are able to take advantage of automation while keeping humans safe and in control.
FORT Robotics is happy to announce that Sineesh Keshav, Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Prologis has joined FORT’s Board of Directors. Prologis has been a FORT investor since early 2021 and participated in the company’s Series B raise that was announced earlier this month.
On the heels of a Series B fundraise, FORT Founder and CEO Samuel Reeves reflects on FORT's vision and the true potential of automation.
The capital will enable FORT to fast-track development of security solutions and broaden the reach of its safety and control platform for smart machines.
The road to redundant safety and wireless remote control for autonomous vehicle (AV) testing just became faster thanks to FORT's partnership with Dataspeed, a leader in autonomous research vehicles. The combination of our Safe Remote Control and Dataspeed's 'Drive-by-Wire' hardware and software system will equip researchers with a more controlled testing environment for autonomous vehicles and their applications.
FORT is pleased to welcome Jim Spivey as VP of Finance and Operations. Jim will be responsible for supporting FORT's exponential growth by executing scalable finance and operations initiatives.
The impact of US and global labor shortages can be traced back to many factors in recent years: lack of skilled workers, COVID-related illnesses, as well as a shift in worker mentality. Employers have pushed for increased wages and benefits but are still challenged by the limit of available and willing workers. Now more than ever, companies are looking for ways to increase their product output while keeping their workers in charge and well-equipped. The construction and agricultural industries are looking into new solutions to revitalize their workforce and meet demands; one of these paths leads to automated machinery with a focus on safety and profitability.
FORT Robotics, a pioneer in safe communications for autonomous systems, is happy to introduce Nivedita Ojha as Vice President of Product! Nivedita will lead product development and build FORT’s strategic roadmap to address the needs of our customers.
