This marks the first time Smart Eye’s new AIS system will be delivered to a
major heavy vehicle fleet for aftermarket implementation. Following a long
and thorough evaluation and testing process, the customer, Linde, chose
Smart Eye’s AIS system to improve safety in the heavy vehicles used for its
gas distribution. Linde is the world’s largest industrial gas company and
will initially be installing Smart Eye’s AIS system in heavy vehicles used
in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

AIS uses Smart Eye’s proven DMS software which has already been implemented
in more than 1,000,000 cars on the road. Combined with Smart Eye’s
automotive-qualified hardware, AIS is a flexible and scalable in-cabin
safety system designed to reduce accidents. Built with AI-based algorithms,
the system improves overall road safety by detecting early signs of driver
drowsiness or distraction.

“This new contract is an important breakthrough for Smart Eye and is just
one of several large fleet customers that we currently engage with,” said
Martin Krantz, CEO and Founder of Smart Eye. “Linde is a company that
refuses to compromise on safety and I’m proud that they have chosen AIS to
prevent human injury, reduce financial losses and improve overall safety in
their trucks. This is not just a significant breakthrough for Smart Eye but
an important step towards reducing road accidents and saving lives.”

“After years of hard work, I am very excited to have received our first
major contract with a fleet customer,” said Magnus Brunzell, VP of Applied
AI Systems (AIS), Smart Eye. “We have put great effort into developing AIS,
a very high-quality driver monitoring system that is ideal for aftermarket
installation in heavy vehicles.”

“Safety is a top priority at Linde and above all, we aim to make sure our
drivers get home safe at the end of the day,” says Elias Chowdhury,
Transport Safety Manager Region Europe North at Linde. “Based on our
thorough evaluation, including extensive field testing, Smart Eye was the
best choice for us.”
