What Tyker does

Tyker Construction B.V. is a Dutch robotics company that develops autonomous mobile machines for the construction and infrastructure sector. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Barneveld, Netherlands, the company builds robots that automate labor-intensive tasks such as road marking, pre-marking, stake-out, and 3D milling. Its technology combines GNSS/RTK positioning with Total Station integration for GNSS-denied environments, achieving 1–2 cm accuracy, while the Tyker Civil cloud platform handles project data management, route optimization, and coordinate-system conversion between DXF and CSV inputs.

The product portfolio centers on three core offerings: the Robot Plotter for autonomous marking of lines and points, the Road Profiler for 3D milling control with 1 mm depth accuracy, and the AutoStriper (in co-development with Trauffer Group of Switzerland and Heijmans of the Netherlands) for automating the steering of road marking machines. Supporting products include the Tyker Surveyor (a GNSS receiver and tablet combination for survey data capture) and dedicated service, maintenance, training, and custom R&D offerings. Customers span road markers, road builders, construction firms, surveyors, and adjacent verticals such as airports, event venues, and automotive test tracks.

Tyker's business model combines hardware sales on a quote-based model with equipment rental through a dedicated portal (verhuur.tyker.com), professional service and support contracts (maintenance, firmware upgrades, operator training, certification, spare parts), and custom R&D development for clients needing specialized robot applications. Distribution is direct in Western Europe and via dealer networks in the United States, Australia, and the Middle East. The company appears to be founder/management-owned with no disclosed external equity investors and no public funding rounds.

Products and services

• Robot Plotter A self-propelled autonomous robot that marks lines and points with 1-2 cm accuracy based on DXF and CSV file inputs. Equipped with GNSS/RTK or Total Station positioning, remote control operation, and modular marking attachments (spray, paint, drill, laser). Designed for road markers, road construction contractors, surveyors, construction firms, airports, and event venues.
• Road Profiler An autonomous system that controls milling machines by calculating milling depth based on GNSS position and road models, automatically adjusting the cutter to achieve 1 mm depth accuracy without requiring manual measurement or surveyor intervention. Used by road construction and milling contractors.
• Autostriper A universal solution that automates manual steering of road marking machines, developed in collaboration with Trauffer Group (Switzerland) and Heijmans (Netherlands). Designed for road marking contractors to automate and standardise road marking operations.
• Tyker Civil A cloud-based platform for managing project data, uploading DXF and CSV files, optimising robot travel routes, and coordinating Robot Plotter and Surveyor operations across multiple projects and sites. Targeted at civil engineering and infrastructure construction professionals.
• Tyker Surveyor An intelligent combination of GNSS receiver with RTK correction mounted on a survey pole with a tablet running Tyker software. Surveys points, lines, and curves on-site with high precision and automatically stores data as a digital map in the Tyker Civil cloud environment for subsequent Robot Plotter deployment. Used by surveying and engineering firms.
• Custom R&D Development A custom robot development service that collaborates with clients from concept through feasibility study, prototype iterations on Tyker's modular robot platform, to series production, certification, and rollout with service and support. Available to enterprise clients with bespoke automation needs.
• Equipment Rental Short-term rental of Tyker robots for projects requiring temporary access to autonomous marking or milling equipment without capital purchase, available through a dedicated rental portal. Targets customers wanting to trial the technology before purchasing.
• Service & Support Workshop services including scheduled periodic maintenance, fast repair and emergency service, firmware upgrades, operator training and certification, and spare parts supply for Tyker robots.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Trimble offers GNSS, machine control, and construction software used across infrastructure projects globally. It is an incumbent in positioning-driven construction automation and a potential competitor or platform partner for Tyker's surveyor/marking workflows.
• Komatsu: Komatsu is a global heavy equipment OEM that has invested heavily in autonomous and semi-autonomous construction machinery. It is a broad incumbent whose smart construction roadmap could encroach on Tyker's positioning-controlled automation niche.
• Hilti: Hilti supplies a broad range of construction tools, software, and services globally, including on-site robotics initiatives. It is an incumbent in construction productivity tools and a potential broader competitor as it invests in jobsite automation.
• Caterpillar: Caterpillar is the largest construction equipment OEM with active investments in autonomous and semi-autonomous jobsite machines. It is a broad incumbent that could integrate positioning-driven automation features relevant to Tyker's road and infra use cases.
• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Leica Geosystems provides high-precision GNSS, Total Station, and machine-control positioning systems widely used in surveying and construction. It competes with Tyker's positioning layer and could bundle its own robotic marking capability into broader construction-tech portfolios.
• Topcon Positioning Group: Topcon provides GNSS, machine control, and paving/milling automation solutions for road construction. Its 3D milling and paving systems directly overlap with Tyker's Road Profiler offering in the road infrastructure segment.

Emerging players

• Clearpath Robotics: Clearpath Robotics builds autonomous mobile robot platforms for industrial, mining, and research applications. While not a direct road-marking competitor, it is an adjacent emerging player in rugged autonomous mobile robotics relevant to Tyker's technology base.

Direct peers

• Graco (RoadLazer / LineLazer): Graco manufactures road and line marking equipment used by contractors worldwide. Its striping machines represent the installed base that Tyker's AutoStriper aims to automate, making it both a peer and a potential OEM partner.
• Built Robotics: Built Robotics develops autonomous technology for construction equipment such as excavators and bulldozers. It is the closest direct peer to Tyker in applying robotics and positioning automation to construction workflows.
• Hofmann (Markierungs-Technik): Hofmann is a specialist manufacturer of road marking machines and pre-marking equipment in Europe. It is a direct peer in the road marking automation category where Tyker's Robot Plotter competes.
