SafeAI has released its SafeAI Autonomous Framework (SAF), the first operating system built specifically for autonomous heavy equipment. With the SAF, companies can leverage both SafeAI’s infrastructure and industry expertise to accelerate their autonomous application development and create safer, more productive job sites faster than ever.
The SAF is the world’s first comprehensive, safety certifiable operating system purpose-built for heavy industry applications of autonomy. It’s designed with the capabilities required for the development and deployment of autonomous applications, including portability and reliability.

Written in accordance with both MISRA (C:2021 and C++:2008) and AUTOSAR coding standards, the SAF can support various compilers and OS, and can be used in embedded and real-time environments. With the SAF, SafeAI lowers barriers to autonomy, enabling companies to save up to four years of development time and the millions of dollars it would take to build their own operating systems.
“We’ve proven the impact autonomous solutions can have for industries like construction and mining, and we know this is the direction the industry is heading,” says Bibhrajit Halder, founder & CEO of SafeAI. “But not every company has the resources, bandwidth and expertise to deploy autonomy as quickly as they’d like; and that’s where the SAF comes in.”
With the release of the SAF, SafeAI will further advance the adoption of autonomy across off-road industries like construction and mining. These sectors have long navigated labor shortages and rampant project delays; and while autonomy is poised to help alleviate these challenges, companies face high, and often prohibitive, cost and technical barriers to entry. The SAF directly addresses these challenges and will move the industry forward several years by providing a ready-made foundation that allows companies to start the development of their own autonomous applications and reap the benefits sooner.
The release of this industry-first platform follows a year of significant growth for SafeAI as the company continues its mission of accelerating off-road deployment of autonomous technology. Earlier this year, SafeAI announced its expansion into Australia and Canada, two of the world’s largest mining markets. This year, the company also announced $21 million in Series A funding to accelerate its research and development efforts and spur global growth.
