The Company

Factory safety practices haven’t changed since the 50s -- and it shows. Despite automation technology and advances in global supply chain management, worker injury costs have increased yearly and the largest fraction of injury still comes from material handling and assembly tasks. At TuMeke we’re leveraging automation to keep factories safe and cut down on injury rates. Our first product uses computer vision to perform safety inspections on factory workstations automatically.
