ASI By The Numbers
ASI's innovative autonomous industrial vehicle robotic solutions have enabled:
A WORLD LEADER IN VEHICLE AUTOMATION
Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), worldwide leader of industrial vehicle automation, developed the Mobius® Industrial Autonomous Fleet Orchestration system. ASI’s innovative, proprietary robotic hardware and software make any fleet, large and small, operate autonomously.
Trusted by global Fortune 500 companies across various sectors, such as civil construction, agriculture, logistics, and landscaping, ASI transforms the dirty, dull, and dangerous into efficient, scalable, accurate, and reliably productive operations.
Founded in 2000 by a group of engineers who took technologies developed at Utah State University into the commercial sector, ASI has grown to become one of the largest privately held robotics-focused companies anywhere and continues to rapidly scale. Homebase is ASI’s 200+-acre proving ground in Northern Utah with offices in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, and Longmont, Colorado.
