Holman announced a new partnership with ISEE, a leader in AI-powered autonomous yard operations, that is poised to help shared customers optimize the use of autonomous yard vehicles in various commercial applications. This strategic collaboration leverages Holman’s innovative end-to-end robotic management solution as well as the company’s unsurpassed fleet management and upfitting expertise along with ISEE’s groundbreaking AI-powered technology to accelerate the deployment and streamline the ongoing operation of driverless outdoor material handling units.
“Robotics and industrial automation continue to transform how companies do business, boosting efficiency and reducing expenses, and yard movement is an area where many organizations can enhance operations by embracing autonomous solutions,” said Joe Foster, Vice President of Robotics, Holman. “Our partnership with ISEE, along with Holman’s strategic investment in the company, reflects our confidence in the future of autonomous yard operations and our commitment to helping customers accelerate adoption of proven automation technology. Together, we can provide customers with a simplified path to deployment, enabling them to launch faster, scale more effectively, and realize greater value from their investment with less complexity.”
As demand for autonomous yard vehicles continues to grow, together, Holman and ISEE are uniquely positioned to help businesses eliminate the barriers to entry that typically slow adoption – high upfront costs, technical complexities, and a fragmented network of vendors.
Holman’s robot fleet management solution delivers a holistic approach to industrial automation, bundling hardware, data integration, management software, and ongoing support into a single, streamlined service. A key aspect of the partnership is Holman’s industry-leading upfitting capabilities which allows businesses to upgrade existing yard vehicles with ISEE’s autonomous technology, eliminating the need to replace their current units.
ISEE’s AI-powered autonomous driving technology is designed to operate in congested and mixed traffic environments such as warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and port terminals. The proprietary technology provides enterprise-grade autonomy with a specific focus on safety, efficiency, and operational resilience, allowing organizations to scale easily and efficiently in an increasingly automated environment.
“As autonomy moves from concept to critical infrastructure, scalability and reliability become the defining factors,” said Debbie Yu, President and Co-Founder at ISEE. “This collaboration allows us to deliver both, combining advanced AI with a proven industrial backbone. We are now positioned to deploy at scale in a way that is both capital-efficient and operationally robust.”
Together, Holman and ISEE are introducing a strategy that supports the rapid deployment of autonomous technology across existing yard vehicles while also forging a plan toward factory-integrated solutions for future large-scale commercialization.
