Dave Rowland

Dave Rowland serves as the Head of Marketing for a company that has developed an innovative AI platform designed to enhance safety in industrial settings. The platform integrates with existing CCTV systems to autonomously detect unsafe events using advanced computer vision technologies. This solution is particularly effective in environments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and ports. Under Rowland’s leadership, the company has raised $18 million to expand its presence in Europe and North America and plans to open a US office next year to cater to the North American market. The company currently employs 20 individuals and intends to hire an additional 30 people in 2023. Rowland has forged a significant partnership with DHL Denmark to improve safety measures and optimize logistics operations. His efforts with Marks & Spencer have notably increased site visibility and reduced incidents by 80% within the first 10 weeks of deployment. The technology provides a continuous, comprehensive view of sites, enabling proactive identification and prevention of potential risks. It monitors various safety parameters, such as forklift speeds and the use of personal protective equipment. The system also generates regular reports offering insights that have enabled DHL to implement direct safety improvements. Importantly, all data collection adheres to GDPR regulations, ensuring privacy and compliance.
