About TerraFirma
TerraFirma develops planning software, remote fleet control and semi-autonomous heavy equipment for earthworks and critical infrastructure. Its stack links digital site plans with excavators, dozers and other machines retrofitted for automated or remotely supervised operation.
Perception systems monitor people and obstacles, while fleet software assigns work and tracks progress across a job site. The company combines machine controls, autonomy and pre-construction planning so physical execution follows the project model. TerraFirma deploys complete systems and operating support for customers undertaking repetitive or hazardous civil work.
