Slamcore Raises $14M to Expand Warehouse AI Safety Tools

Slamcore has raised $14 million to bring its AI-powered warehouse safety and fleet-tracking technology to more factories and distribution centers.

The London-based company said the round includes backing from ROKStar Ventures, a subsidiary of Rockwell Automation, along with investors including Toyota Ventures, Interwoven Ventures, MMC Ventures, Amadeus Capital Partners and IP Group. The latest investment brings Slamcore’s total funding to $40 million.

Slamcore said it has already deployed its technology across more than 30 facilities and scaled to hundreds of units in less than two years.

The company’s software uses stereo cameras and visual AI to track forklifts and other vehicles inside warehouses and factories. Unlike many tracking systems, Slamcore said its platform does not require GPS, floor markers, beacons, or other added infrastructure.

The company says its tools can help warehouse operators improve visibility into vehicle activity, reduce idle time, and spot potential safety issues before accidents happen.

The funding comes as warehouses and manufacturing sites continue looking for ways to improve both productivity and worker safety. According to OSHA, between 35,000 and 62,000 forklift-related injuries happen every year in the United States, with an average of two deaths per week.

“Operations managers in factories and warehouses have largely been flying blind when it comes to their manual fleets. Slamcore Aware and Slamcore Alert change that from day one, without disruption to existing operations,” said Owen Nicholson, CEO, Slamcore.

Nicholson also said the company sees long-term value in the operational data generated by the system.

“ROKStar Ventures’ investment tells us that the industry's most sophisticated players see this as a foundational infrastructure, not just another point solution. As our footprint grows, so does a body of real-world operational data that does not exist anywhere else and that will become the backbone for the next generation of physical AI,” he said.

Ryan Gariepy, Vice President of Robotics at Rockwell Automation, said Slamcore’s technology stands out because it can work in active warehouse environments without major facility upgrades.

“Most approaches either require significant infrastructure investment or fail to hold up in the dynamic, unpredictable conditions of an active facility,” Gariepy said.
