Xpanner

Xpanner provides automation and robotics solutions tailored to address the productivity and labor challenges of “shovel-meets-dirt tasks” in the construction industry. The company’s offerings include hardware retrofits that transform existing construction equipment into advanced, automation-ready machines, as well as proprietary software that streamlines tasks like piling, trenching, and grading. These solutions enable operators to perform complex tasks quickly and accurately while allowing supervisors to manage sites more effectively with real-time monitoring tools. By integrating smart construction technology into equipment of any brand or type, Xpanner improves productivity, reduces costs, and accelerates project timelines. Their focus extends to both general construction and specialized projects like solar farm development, where their Solar Piling Solution package offers efficiency for site preparation and installation.

Xpanner’s "technology-as-a-service" (TaaS) approach transforms how construction companies adopt and utilize automation solutions. TaaS is a version of hardware-as-a-service (HaaS), in which hardware is a central—but not the only—component of a larger as-a-service ecosystem. Xpanner’s end-to-end solution includes pre-installed, automation-ready equipment, task-specific automation software, and a remote Automation Command Center for real-time data monitoring and software deployment. Contracts also feature field support from expert engineers who assist throughout the project lifecycle, from site preparation to execution.
