About
About Slamcore
Slamcore’s current industrial system attaches stereo cameras and compute to forklifts, reach trucks, stackers and tugger trains. Visual SLAM supplies real-time location without GPS, beacons or floor markers; Alert adds operator-facing pedestrian warnings, and Hub manages devices and operational data across sites.
Founded from Imperial College research in 2016 and spun out in 2017, Slamcore now reports Aware and Alert deployments in more than 30 factories and warehouses across Europe and North America. A May 2026 financing brought total capital raised to about $40 million to scale its visual-AI products and the industrial movement datasets generated by those deployments.
