Crewline

What Crewline does

Crewline helps excavation and grading contractors automate their existing heavy equipment, starting with vibratory compactors. By retrofitting machines with autonomy kits and backing them with human operators, Crewline aims to eliminate labor bottlenecks, increase production, and improve safety on job sites. The solution offers higher utilization, measurable productivity gains, and a cost advantage without upfront costs, risk, or downtime. Crewline supports a phased rollout, starting with drum rollers and expanding to other equipment types like bulldozers and excavators.

Products

• Autonomy Kit for Vibratory Drum RollersA retrofit kit that makes existing vibratory drum rollers self-driving, available now.
• Autonomy Kit for DozersA retrofit kit for bulldozers, currently in development and expected to ship through 2027.

Key capabilities

• Upgrade existing machines to self-driving
• Retrofit existing equipment (1-hour install, no permanent modifications, fully reversible)
• Backed by human operators
• 24/7 monitoring and remote operations
• Field service and spare parts
• On-site Crewline staff when required
• Integrates with Trimble, Topcon, Leica, and Agtek workflows and existing site models

Use cases

• Eliminate labor bottlenecks
• Keep machines running safely in busy job sites
• Increase production without changing how you build
• Run rollers, dozers, and excavators consistently despite labor shortages
• Protect ground crews on active mass-earthwork sites
• Increase compaction and earthmoving throughput
• Large, repetitive earthworks where operator coverage is tight
• Mid-to-large sites (10+ acres)
• Phased or intermittent work

AI approach

Crewline develops self-driving technology to retrofit existing heavy earthmoving equipment, enabling automation for tasks like vibratory compaction. Their system allows machines to run themselves for standard work, with remote operators stepping in when needed. The technology focuses on increasing productivity, safety, and utilization of equipment.
