About
About Crewline
Crewline retrofits existing construction machinery for supervised autonomous operation. Its current commercial kit converts vibratory drum rollers from Caterpillar, Bomag, Hamm, Volvo and CASE, with installation designed to take about an hour. The system automates repetitive compaction passes while remote human operators support the machine when site conditions require intervention.
Contractors receive the retrofit, operational software, job-level production data and round-the-clock technical support for a fixed monthly fee with no upfront equipment purchase. Crewline uses coverage and idle-time data to show where compaction throughput is gained or lost across a project. Drum rollers are shipping now; autonomy for bulldozers is under active development for release through 2027, with dump trucks, excavators, graders and loaders forming the longer-term machine roadmap.

Events
- 2026-04-22 - Funding - Crewline raises USD 7.1 million seed round for autonomous construction roller retrofit kits
Crewline announced a USD 7.1 million seed round to scale retrofit autonomy kits for construction rollers. The company's first product converts existing vibratory drum rollers into self-driving machines for repetitive earthworks and compaction jobs. Crewline is targeting deployment of 100 rollers this year; in its $7.1M seed announcement materials it also reported 241 contractors on its waitlist since ConExpo 2026, representing over $26M in potential annual contracts.
