Teleo and Storm Equipment Introduce America's Only Remote-Operated and Autonomous Industrial Snow Plow
Teleo, a company building autonomous technology for heavy construction equipment, and Storm Equipment, one of the largest distributors of commercial snow plow equipment, introduced the only remote-operated and autonomous industrial snow plow commercially offered in the United States. With support from Teleo dealer RDO Equipment Co., the companies worked to retrofit a John Deere 332G skid steer loader with Storm Equipment’s Metal Pless snow plow blade and Teleo Supervised Autonomy, Teleo’s technology that enables remote and autonomous operations. The machine is designed for mass snow clearing in large open areas such as industrial parking lots. Customers can order the retrofit of any make and model of heavy equipment for remote-operated and autonomous operations from Teleo, along with an autonomous-ready snow plow blade properly sized for each machine type from Storm Equipment.

The biggest challenge facing heavy civil and mining contractors today is shortage of skilled labor. Finding and retaining operators to run heavy equipment, like dozers, excavators, trucks, wheel loaders, and more, is increasingly difficult. To address this problem, Teleo is developing autonomous technology that retrofits contractors’ existing heavy equipment and turns the machines into semi-autonomous robots. Teleo lets construction and mining contractors run their heavy equipment without an operator in the cabin. Instead, Teleo Supervised Autonomy technology enables the operator to control multiple pieces of equipment while sitting at a remote control station — which significantly enhances both safety and productivity.
