KEWAZO'S STORY
Bringing automation to construction sites with LIFTBOT
With its LIFTBOT robotic lift, KEWAZO transformed the construction industry, creating safer project sites for workers, reducing costs for companies and speeding up completion times.
LIFTBOT automates what has long been a manual, dangerous job — moving around materials and equipment at projects using scaffolding. Before LIFTBOT's introduction, crews would move up to 5 tons of materials daily by hand in all weather conditions — passing items from level to level. Now the battery-powered LIFTBOT, which is entirely wireless, moves materials twice as fast as people and works autonomously, freeing staff up for higher-value work. LIFTBOT can be assembled in just 20 minutes, requires little space, and studies show it reduces labor costs between 40 percent and 70 percent.
LIFTBOT's technology can also be applied to tasks such as insulation and painting.
With a founding team of experts in construction robotics, civil engineering and computer programming, KEWAZO is bringing automation to construction sites and improving safety for millions of construction workers across the globe.
"Carey Smith and his team at Unorthodox Ventures truly understand manufacturing. We've already benefited from their decades of experience and appreciate the unique perspective they bring as an investor focused on working with us shoulder to shoulder."
