Value proposition

End-to-end AI and robotics solutions that unify reality capture, autonomous navigation, and data intelligence — enabling robots to perceive, decide, and act autonomously in indoor, outdoor, and GPS-denied environments.

Products and solutions

d.ASH Platform (Digital Autonomy Services Hub): Hardware – d.ASH-ER (multi-functional autonomous robot), d.ASH Pack (mobile/robot-mounted 3D LiDAR mapping), Software – d.ASH Xplorer (3D map processor, digital twin & Scan-to-BIM), d.ASH Ops (fleet management platform), d.ASH Go (mobile app for real-time scanning)

Unique value

Proprietary SLAM-based navigation that is 10x faster than conventional methods, enabling robots to operate autonomously in complex GPS-denied environments (tunnels, buildings, underground) with real-time 3D mapping and digital twin creation.

Target customer

Industrial sectors: construction, infrastructure inspection, facilities management, logistics, manufacturing, smart buildings, security & surveillance, government & public sector

Industries served

Construction, Infrastructure Inspection, Security & Surveillance, Logistics, Manufacturing, Smart Buildings, Facilities Management, Government & Public Sector, Rail Maintenance

Technology advantage

Proprietary real-time SLAM-based navigation system that operates in GPS-denied environments; integrated d.ASH platform covering the full reality capture-to-autonomy pipeline; 10x faster navigation vs conventional methods; Foxconn manufacturing partnership for scale

How they differentiate

Proprietary SLAM technology that is 10x faster than conventional methods; end-to-end platform (d.ASH) covering hardware, 3D scanning, digital twins, and fleet management; deep focus on GPS-denied environments; unique positioning as a Singapore-based deep-tech company bridging AI and cyber-physical systems with global offices across four countries
