## Summary

Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) is a Mendon, Utah company that automates off-road industrial vehicles — tractors, haul trucks, dozers, loaders, yard trucks, and landscaping equipment — through an OEM-agnostic software platform called Mobius. Founded in 2000 as a Utah State University spinout, ASI has spent 25 years integrating autonomy across 100+ vehicle models in mining, agriculture, construction, logistics, and landscaping.

For the wiki, ASI is one of Utah's most durable robotics companies: real deployments at industrial scale, a credible exit history (selling its mining business unit to Epiroc), and recent expansion including a Lehi office, SoftBank-backed construction automation, and a 2026 acquisition of Scythe Robotics.

## Impact

Off-road autonomy is a larger and less-covered economic story than passenger-car autonomy. Mines, farms, construction sites, and freight yards depend on human operators in dangerous, repetitive, labor-short conditions. ASI's public metrics cite hundreds of millions of tons hauled, millions of autonomous miles, and thousands of autonomous hours — deployment footprints, not slideware.

The architectural bet is OEM-agnostic: a platform layer that retrofits onto any manufacturer's vehicle, versus closed stacks from John Deere, Caterpillar, or Komatsu. Both strategies may win in different segments; ASI's 25-year integration library is the moat if customers resist vendor lock-in.

## What They Are Building

Mobius is ASI's flagship fleet-management and command-and-control software, designed to orchestrate mixed fleets of autonomous and human-operated vehicles across sites — locally or remotely. ASI provides retrofittable autonomy kits and integration services rather than manufacturing its own vehicles.

Recent strategic moves include:

- **ASI Heavy Construction** — launched with SoftBank Group backing for U.S. construction-site autonomy.
- **Scythe Robotics acquisition (March 2026)** — brings Scythe's commercial autonomous mowing platform into the Mobius portfolio.
- **Geographic expansion** — Lehi (June 2025) and Dallas–Fort Worth (July 2025) offices alongside Mendon HQ.
- **Mining divestiture (2021)** — Epiroc took full ownership of ASI Mining after a partial stake in 2018; capital from the sale funded expansion in adjacent markets. [source:autonomous-solutions-inc-official-website]

## What They Need Now

Likely needs include robotics engineers (perception, planning, controls), fleet-orchestration and cloud platform engineers, vehicle-systems integrators, field deployment and support staff, and sector-specific sales for agriculture, construction, and logistics. ASI earned Great Place to Work certification in 2025 and has been actively hiring in Utah and Texas.

For talent matching, ASI fits engineers who want California-grade autonomy problems with Utah cost of living, real field testing at mines and farms, and an established company rather than early-stage equity roulette.

## Who Could Help

Useful helpers include OEM partnership connectors, mining and agriculture operator introductions, SoftBank-aligned growth advisors for the construction unit, and manufacturing partners for scaled kit production. Anyone joining should understand customer-concentration risk in an OEM-agnostic model — no single deep OEM relationship.

## Utah Context

ASI is a flagship Utah robotics story: USU spinout, Mendon roots, growing Wasatch Front presence in Lehi, and national deployments. It complements defense-focused autonomy companies like [Fortem Technologies](fortem-technologies.md) and [Teal Drones](teal-drones.md) by owning industrial off-road fleets rather than airspace or small UAS.

## Open Questions

- What are current revenue, headcount, and profitability after the mining divestiture and construction expansion?
- How does SoftBank's strategic involvement shape product priorities and governance?
- OEM-agnostic positioning competes with better-funded vertically integrated OEMs on every deal — what is ASI's win rate and growth trajectory?
- Marketing visibility remains modest for a 25-year company; independent third-party validation of deployment scale would strengthen confidence.
- Imagery is a deterministic placeholder pending a license-clean Mobius or field-deployment photograph.
