Xpanner

What Xpanner does

Xpanner provides AI-powered automation solutions for the construction industry, focusing on increasing jobsite productivity and addressing labor shortages. Their offerings include retrofit kits for existing machinery and automation-ready packages, all supported by expert service engineers. Xpanner's technology, including their proprietary Physical AI, is designed for fast deployment and real-time decision-making on construction sites. They operate on an "Automation as a Service" (AaaS) model and have demonstrated significant revenue growth and profitability in the construction market.

Products

• X1 Automation KitA retrofit kit powered by Xpanner’s machine control and Physical AI, built for fast deployment and task-specific automation. It transforms existing pile drivers into autonomous-ready systems, designed for seamless integration with leading models like Vermeer’s PD10.
• Automation-Ready PackageAutomation-ready machines powered by X1 Tech, pre-equipped for deployment and built for immediate use on real job sites. This includes solutions for solar farm piling and civil construction, available for rental, purchase, or rent-to-own.
• X1 PilingSolar Pile Driving Automation, powered by Robotics and Physical AI. This is an all-in-one solution that transforms existing Pile Drivers into an autonomous-ready system, designed for seamless integration with leading models like Vermeer’s PD10.
• MangoXpanner’s core technology, an automation controller designed for real-time decision-making and precision control across hydraulic, electric, and mechanical systems within a robust RTOS environment.
• M2: Physical AI ModuleA Physical AI module that connects Mango to the digital world, collecting sensor and vision data, processing it in real time, and coordinating data-driven actions across the jobsite. (Launching later this year)
• Modular Intelligence AppsA library of task-specific intelligence apps delivered on demand from the cloud, allowing instant addition of new automation capabilities to machines.
• Xpanner ConnectAn intuitive, real-time dashboard that provides live operational insight, real-time production data, plan vs. as-built verification, and actionable performance insights for jobsite data.
• X1 Panel LiftSolar Panel Lifting Automation, powered by Robotics and Physical AI. This intelligent, excavator-based panel installation system automates repetitive material handling, allowing installation crews to focus on high-value installation work.
• Everstar packageAn automation-ready package offering greater reach and flexibility for driving longer or more varied piles, suitable for projects where standard machines fall short.
