The Clearway Group has announced the acquisition of LociLabs Limited and the launch of its in-house Innovation Team, Clearway Labs, providing the new standard in Actionable Analytics.
The introduction of Clearway Labs will enable Clearway to further develop its suite of IoT devices alongside development, project management, and consultancy services. Custom models can be used in applications across practically all sectors, including highways and infrastructure, turning unstructured data from cameras into structured, actionable insights. Clearway Labs’ AI models interpret this data, providing valuable reports designed to help mitigate risk and monitor safety and compliance, helping its customers better protect their roadworkers, their business, and road users.
Clearway’s highway technology solutions include temporary mobile CCTV, stopped vehicle detection, vehicle speed analysis, ANPR, vehicle identification, wearable safety solutions (bodycams and helmet-cam), and PPE monitoring & detection – coupled with its NSI Gold CAT II Alarm Receiving Centre, to monitor, secure and protect people, compounds and assets. Employing over 500 people, Clearway has operations across the UK, France and Germany.
The combination of existing Clearway highways industry knowledge coupled with the LociLabs’ wealth of development and AI (Artificial Intelligence) experience gives Clearway the ability to provide and assist with the practical application of solutions alongside commercial, regulatory, and security matters. An exciting new platform has been in co-development which we look forward to launching in the next few weeks.
Commenting on the acquisition launch, Jonathan Brewer, Clearway’s Chief Digital Officer, said; “We are excited to welcome the talented team at LociLabs to the Clearway family. This acquisition not only enhances our software and product development capabilities but also enables us to form Clearway Labs, our powerhouse of innovation. By bringing together our collective expertise and passion for creating exceptional products, we are confident in our ability to deliver truly remarkable solutions that will shape the future of our business”
Adam Bykowski, LociLab’s CTO, commented; “LociLabs has always been driven by a mission to build market-leading safety and security products using best-practice cloud-native software development. Our deep understanding of computer vision AI and machine learning will give Clearway a significant competitive advantage. I’m excited about the future and the impact we’ll make alongside the exceptional Clearway team.”
Chris Stretton, CEO LociLabs, added; “At LociLabs, we’ve always been dedicated to building world-class products and services that prioritise safety. Joining the Clearway family accelerates our mission and empowers us to achieve even greater heights. Our existing collaboration with Clearway has been fantastic, and we’re thrilled to become the foundation of the new Clearway Labs team.”
Clearway’s platform is cloud-based but also supports edge computing, allowing analytics to happen locally on devices like cameras, especially when they’re not always connected to the internet. This hybrid approach ensures they can operate efficiently across a variety of different use cases:
Headquartered in London, Clearway is a pan-European security, safety & compliance, and commercial debt recovery provider specialising in protecting people, property and assets. Clearway delivers solutions that are tailored to its customers’ needs, utilising an extensive range of specialist services integrated with market-leading technology.
