Sift has been named a winner in Fast Company’s 2024 Next Big Things in Tech Awards in the Transportation category. This recognition reflects Sift’s work in improving the safety, efficiency, and reliability of autonomous vehicle (AV) fleets by streamlining data management and helping companies meet regulatory standards.
Advancing Transportation Across Sectors
Sift’s observability platform supports a range of transportation sectors, helping companies better manage and analyze critical data. Two partnerships highlight its applications:
Astrolab: Pioneering Lunar Exploration
In collaboration with Astrolab, Sift enables hardware-in-the-loop testing, automated simulation data review, and seamless collaboration with external partners. Sift also provides Astrolab with a complete genealogy of each hardware component, tracking its history and performance throughout the lifespan of their vehicles.
Parallel Systems: Transforming Freight Rail
Parallel Systems partnered with Sift to gain the mission-critical tools needed to move forward. Sift’s observability stack provides high-frequency data integration and powerful analysis features, helping Parallel streamline development, and improve operational as they continue building, testing, and scaling autonomous rail vehicles for market.
Sift equips engineers with the insights they need to enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of autonomous vehicles. By simplifying data management and analysis, Sift helps AV fleets operate at peak performance while making compliance with complex regulatory standards easier.
Bringing all telemetry into one unified platform, Sift gives engineers immediate access to critical data. From processing 3D point cloud data from LiDAR sensors to supporting SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) systems, Sift’s platform removes data silos, accelerates root cause analysis, and enables faster development cycles.
An Engineering-Focused Approach to Fleet Management
Fast Company’s recognition affirms Sift’s approach to autonomous transportation. With a team experienced in mission-critical systems, including SpaceX veterans, Sift brings a grounded, engineering-centered perspective to fleet data management and observability.
Reflecting on Sift’s mission, CEO Karthik Gollapudi shared, “Our focus is on equipping companies with observability tools to navigate complex challenges, whether they’re exploring new planets or rethinking freight transport.”
