What Slamcore does

Slamcore is a London-based spatial intelligence software company founded in 2016 and spun out of Imperial College in 2017, whose core technology is vision-based SLAM (visual-inertial simultaneous localisation and mapping) combined with sensor fusion and on-device AI. The company builds a three-product stack targeting industrial intralogistics: Slamcore Aware, a retrofit compute and stereo-camera module that delivers RTLS-grade positioning for forklifts, reach-trucks and tuggers without beacons, GPS or facility infrastructure modifications; Slamcore Alert, an add-on light and buzzer module that uses the same cameras to deliver real-time pedestrian and obstacle alerts to operators without wearables; and Slamcore Hub, a centralised device-management and integration platform exposing a partner-facing API to WMS, FMS and analytics systems.

Slamcore's technology is built around a visual-inertial SLAM pipeline in which object detection and semantic segmentation are integrated directly into the positioning loop rather than layered on as a separate perception step, allowing the system to ignore dynamic objects when estimating position and to classify obstacles class-aware. Robust feature detectors trained for cluttered, changing industrial environments underpin positioning accuracy, and a 3D sparse map supports session-to-session relocalisation and sharing across devices. The founding team comprises four SLAM researchers cited over 30,000 times in academic literature, and the company holds Edge AI and Vision Alliance 2020 Vision Tank Start-Up Winner and RTLS Alliance Ecosystem Founding Vendor recognition.

Slamcore monetises through hardware unit sales (Slamcore Aware shipping, Slamcore Alert in pre-order) and a separate Slamcore Hub platform (positioned as a recurring software offering with single-integration API), sold via direct enterprise sales and a channel of 15+ system integrators, value-added resellers, fleet management and analytics partners, plus a parallel OEM pathway with forklift manufacturers. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contracts and not publicly disclosed, and the company also offers an evaluation licence on request as a pre-sales funnel mechanism. As of May 2026, total disclosed funding stood at $40 million across rounds in 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2026, with the company reporting hundreds of units deployed across more than 30 industrial facilities and over 100 companies having used Slamcore's AI historically.

Core offering

Slamcore sells a vision-based spatial intelligence platform for industrial intralogistics, delivered as Slamcore Aware (retrofit compute and stereo-camera hardware running Visual-Inertial SLAM for infrastructure-free RTLS of forklifts, reach-trucks and tuggers), Slamcore Alert (a vision-based pedestrian detection and in-cab alerting add-on) and Slamcore Hub (a centralised device management and integration software platform with a third-party API). The stack turns existing material handling equipment into intelligent, connected assets that deliver real-time location, pedestrian safety and operational analytics data inside warehouses and factories without beacons, GPS or new facility infrastructure.

Product overview

Slamcore offers a modular spatial-intelligence platform for intralogistics, sold as a retrofit hardware-plus-software stack rather than a single monolithic product. The core product Slamcore Aware provides vision-based RTLS positioning on forklifts, reach-trucks, and tuggers using stereo cameras; Slamcore Alert is an add-on safety module that layers pedestrian detection and operator alerts on top of Slamcore Aware devices; and Slamcore Hub is the centralized management platform used to commission, monitor, and integrate data from the deployed Aware/Alert fleet via a third-party API. Together, these three named offerings turn existing material-handling vehicles into intelligent, connected assets in warehouses and factories.
