Vue Robotics combines AI, sensors, and cloud technology to give snow contractors 24/7 visibility into site conditions—eliminating costly drive-bys and delivering real-time ground truth. Full article available here.
Snow Plow News recently spoke with Patrick Baglien of Vue Robotics to learn how the company is changing the way facility service providers and snow contractors monitor their sites.
Vue Robotics is a technology company that blends hardware, software, and AI into one easy-to-use platform, giving contractors and facility managers a faster, more objective way to assess weather-related risk. “It really comes down to situational awareness,” explained Baglien. “Right now, eight out of ten contractors are still getting in a truck in the middle of the night and driving around to check conditions.
Our technology gives them a way to do that monitoring 24/7, 365—without leaving home." The setup is simple: the on-site hardware installs in just five to ten minutes, requires no wires, and connects wirelessly through a cellular link. Once online, the system immediately begins sending data to Vue’s cloud platform, where contractors can log in and view site conditions in real time. That’s where the AI “magic” comes in. Using cameras and sensors, the system can determine whether it’s snowing or raining, if the surface is wet, and other key environmental details.
This constant data stream not only improves safety and decision-making, but also cuts costs by reducing unnecessary site checks. “In many ways, it’s like having someone sit on-site around the clock,” Baglien noted. “You’re always getting fresh updates, so you truly know the ground truth of your properties.” With AI delivering better data and actionable insights, Vue Robotics is helping contractors and facility services companies save time, reduce expenses, and respond faster when winter weather hits.
