Screening Within the 10th Annual Churros4Change Features Innova and Beeline Collaboration of Bringing Mobility with Robotic Wheelchairs to Guatemala

Mendon, UT – November 23, 2025: Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), the worldwide leader of industrial vehicle automation and developer of the Mobius® autonomous fleet management system, and its foundation Innova will debut “UNtethered”, a documentary by director T.C. Johnstone on December 2nd. This event takes place on “Giving Tuesday” and is a special feature within the 10th Annual Churros4Change, a heart song philanthropic fundraiser hosted by Salt Lake City (Utah) San Diablo Artisan Churros.

UNtethered is a powerful, uplifting documentary that takes you deep into the heart of Guatemala, where innovation and humanity intersect to transform lives. The inspiring journey of the Innova and Beeline Wheelchair teams tells of their collaboration delivering rugged, custom-built wheelchairs to children who have long been left immobile, granting them not just movement, but dignity and independence. Told through the lens of resilience, hope, and ingenuity, UNtethered shines a light on the quest to fund wheelchairs for all children who need them through the sale of MOVA Carts, built on ASI’s 25+ years of robotic know-how. ASI created a self-sustaining model for Beeline’s wheelchair production that allows for the sale of MOVA Carts to fund each wheelchair directly. The evening of celebration, support, and inspiration runs from 6 PM to 10 PM at Awardco in Lindon, UT with the documentary promptly at 6 PM. VIP tickets that include the documentary can be purchased here.

“The mission of Innova is to drive proactive solutions for mobility and opportunity,” shares Mel Torrie, ASI CEO and Founder of Innova. “With the MOVA Cart program, we create meaningful local jobs, empower entrepreneurs, and build sustainable systems that strengthen families and communities. As a U.S.-based nonprofit with a global mission, we partner with local organizations, such as Beeline, to expand access to dignity and independence wherever the need is greatest. Together, we are honored to share the good work we’ve accomplished in Guatemala with UNtethered, and we invite you to join us next week.”

Mel Torrie adds, “Our work with Beeline has been a joy, and our two missions complement each other. Innova brings the carts, the jobs, and the global expansion plan. Beeline provides the facility and the local infrastructure where those jobs take place. The carts create employment and momentum, and for every ten carts sold of that production, it directly supports one wheelchair as an impact on the ground. It naturally bridges the preventative work with the immediate needs we see every day. Our hope in witnessing this collaboration is to change your perception of what’s possible and open your spirit to help us do more. Autonomy has grown in its definition for me beyond what ASI can do for industries to what it can do to change lives. It’s the freedom to do what I want to do, create the things I want to create, and be untethered.”

ASI Expands Into Texas With An Additional Location In Dallas-Fort Worth Metro

July 30th Ribbon Cutting a Milestone Moment for Autonomous Solutions, Inc. and Its Ever-growing US Footprint

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlDSG5dGiXE

Fort Worth, TX – August 7th, 2025: Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), the worldwide leader of industrial vehicle automation and developer of the Mobius® autonomous fleet management system, has expanded its US footprint into the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro of Texas with a third location. Marking this milestone, ASI hosted a July 30th ribbon cutting. This ASI facility growth comes on the heels of its opening of a second location in Lehi, Utah, outside Salt Lake City in June. ASI’s increased US presence enables optimal support for customers seeking offroad automated vehicle solutions to challenges related to labor shortfalls, safety, productivity, and efficiency.

 

“Labor shortages are hitting hard across the industries ASI serves—especially in heavy construction and agriculture. In Japan, for instance, the average age of a wheel loader operator is 72. Younger generations aren’t interested in spending their days driving in circles. That’s where ASI steps in—by automating the wheel loader, we free up that young worker to pursue a higher-paying, more fulfilling skilled role”, shared ASI CEO Mel Torrie on July 30th. “We apply that same philosophy internally at ASI. We don’t burn people out—we build them up. Our goal is to create a workplace where people would still choose to show up on Monday, even if they financially didn’t have to. Because when we treat each other well—especially when things go wrong—we perform better for our customers, our teams, and our future. And we’re proud to bring that mindset with us to Fort Worth.”

 

On hand to welcome ASI was the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce. Chamber representative Ben Robertson said, “It is the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce’s great pleasure to welcome this brand-new member to our community. We are so excited about what ASI is doing here. The Chamber is here to help ASI in any way to succeed and continue to bring opportunities for career and growth to Fort Worth.”

 

ASI’s new location is within Hillwood’s 27,000-acre master-planned, mixed-use development, AllianceTexas. Hillwood Commons I, located at 9800 Hillwood Parkway, is a three-story Class A office building at Alliance Town Center, a 900-acre vibrant master-planned community anchored by a robust medical district, major retailers, and high-quality, upscale living options in north Fort Worth. “We’re proud to welcome ASI to AllianceTexas, where innovation and infrastructure come together to accelerate growth,” said Steve Aldrich, senior vice president at Hillwood. “Their expansion into Fort

Worth reflects the region’s momentum as a hub for advanced technology and logistics—and we’re excited to support their continued success.”

 

The ASI ribbon cutting employed the services of area businesses. Catering was done by Fort Worth’s Reata. Staging was provided by Rental Stops in Grand Prairie. Music came by way of the talented saxophonist Sylvester Jones of Vintage Perspective Entertainment in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Mendon, Utah:

Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (“ASI”), a pioneer in the automation of industrial vehicle systems, is pleased to announce the sale of business unit, ASI Mining to Epiroc, a world leader in mining equipment and solutions.

Epiroc acquired a 34% stake in ASI Mining in 2018 and will now take full ownership of the company.

ASI’s leading OEM-agnostic autonomy platform has propelled ASI Mining to unprecedented success in a short period of time.  With this divestiture, ASI is positioned to accelerate their expansion of the Logistics, Agriculture, Construction, and Automotive Test product offerings.

Mel Torrie, CEO of ASI, credits the entire team for this great achievement,  “The exceptional work of the people at ASI and Epiroc made this transaction possible.   OEM agnostic automation kits for multiple brands of trucks were transitioned into mass production and ASI’s Mobius® command and control software was expanded to optimize large numbers of automated vehicles around-the-clock from hundreds of miles away.”

About ASI

Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) is a world leader in industrial vehicle automation. ASI serves clients across the world in the mining, agriculture, automotive, government, and manufacturing industries with remote control, teleoperation, and fully automated solutions from its headquarters and 100-acre proving ground in northern Utah.

Along side a world-leading OEM. ASI has developed autonomous technology capable of choreographed testing of ADAS/AV systems. We call this technology SWARMING.

Based on studies such as those done by NHTSA, OEMs are finding that using simulation to test, validate, and verify ADAS/AV systems simply isn’t enough. There is a large frequently unaddressed gap in ensuring these vehicles are safe to release on public roads, and SWARMING is filling that gap 

Driven by robotic systems, these autonomous vehicles are capable of tighter, more accurate positioning than manned vehicles can safely perform. This technology utilizes vehicle-to vehicle and vehicle-to-server communications with advanced control algorithms, ensuring autonomous vehicles will be posed at predefined positions and velocities at given times. This fully exercises the responses of the entire ADAS/AV systems required for autonomous driving. When triggered, Mobius – ASl’s command and control software – releases control to the ADAS/AV system while continually monitoring safety, ready to regain control instantly if conditions are not nominal.

“We realize that testing high speed collision anticipation and avoidance is simply too dangerous for human drivers, yet the need for this is now. Our solution is to use robot drivers during these dangerous testing phases, so that OEMs can test their vehicles to the extreme limits of their engineering while ensuring the safety of everyone involved.”

Jaren Devey – Automotive Development Manager

This robotic system is already giving value in durability, misuse, Impact, noise and vibe, ADA/AV systems, and more use cases. Visit our SWARMING Page to learn more.
