3AM Innovations                                                                                                                               Patrick O'Connor, Founder

     Within the emergency first responder vertical, communication and accountability are the keys to safe and successful outcomes. Firefighters cite poor communication and accountability as the top areas where improvements can increase their safety, specifically when dealing with the 70% of the 1,129,250 firefighters in the USA today that are volunteers.

     Current methods used to communicate location and track those firefighters are inefficient and highly antiquated. Today's most common practice relies on a pair of dog tags; one clipped to the fire truck and the other given to the accountability officer and a hand held white board to sketch where they believe everyone is based on their last radio check-in.  This intermittent and user dependent communication method leads to a myriad of issues, none greater than when someone is believed to be safely out of the fire, but in fact they remain in danger and no one knows.

     FLARE was designed by Firefighters for Firefighters, with input from over 100 fire Chiefs surveyed in client discovery phase, 3AM is leveraging advanced technologies and methods never seen before in tracking systems. 3AM Innovations is pleased to announce it now has Non-Provisional Utility Patent(s) filed as of January 17th.  The company is now in full development with this innovative software and hardware, which will reach the market in November of this year.

 

calvIO, Inc.                                                                                                                                                Jeff McCormack, CEO

     calvIO is creating a programmer-less environment for configuring and maintaining the industrial robotic assembly cycle.  In time, our solution will lead to a 50% reduction in robot deployment and maintenance costs and positions us to gain share in a $20 billion market.  Having recently exited a 2+ year incubation within Calvary Robotics (Webster, NY) we are poised to fundamentally disrupt the industrial automation and manufacturing marketplace. 

     calvIO's two modular robotic work cells are controlled by an integrated software solution that uses a proprietary tablet-based programming sequence to simplify robot configuration, point-to-point programming, and fault recovery & logic.  Other solutions to increase ease-of-use and reduce barriers to entry are in development. We launched our products in late 2016 and have received orders from 3 large medical device manufacturers to-date. 

     calvIO is seeking investments to advance our software architecture and launch a Robot-as-a-Service business model.  During the next 12 months, we will begin development of novel artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to discover schemas for rapid design, test, and configuration.  This development will help us achieve our overall mission to reduce robot programming time from 300 hours to 5 minutes.  The management team collectively has 70+ years of software development, product management, and artificial intelligence experience with companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Boeing, and British Telecom.
