BuilderX Robotics: Expert in Tele-Operation
Our AI assistance empowers operators to accomplish tasks previously deemed impossible on-site.

BuilderX Robotics is a technology company that turns construction, mining, port and industrial machinery into remotely operated systems through a tele operation platform supported by AI driven controls. The company retrofits excavators, loaders and other heavy machines so operators can run equipment from safe locations through console-based controls that work over 4G, 5G, Wi Fi or satellite links. This remote setup removes workers from hazardous, dusty or unstable sites and keeps them protected while allowing projects to move forward without exposing people to dangerous conditions. The retrofit model also lets companies keep their existing fleets and upgrade them into remotely managed machines without major replacements, which supports safer operations while preserving productivity across demanding environments.
The remote intelligent control system by BuilderX installs quickly on many standard machines and does not require major modification, which means employers can shift to remote operation without replacing current assets and can move to safer operation within days. This option lowers adoption costs for firms that want automation in heavy duty tasks and helps them maintain long term investment value while gaining a safer operational method that avoids physical exposure.
AI Assisted Operation for Safety and Precision
BuilderX uses advanced AI-assisted features that strengthen visibility, reduce collision threats and guide operators with richer awareness than they would have on a dust filled or hazard prone site. The system offers 360-degree pedestrian detection with alerts for bystander safety, dust see through imaging to maintain sightlines in harsh environments and an AR bucket depth indicator that supports accuracy in digging and loading tasks. Additional features measure slope stability, watch bucket teeth condition and warn against overturn or collision risks, and these combined inputs help operators achieve safer and more dependable results under demanding site conditions.
Because these smart functions support oversight of several machines at once, one operator can manage work across multiple locations while reducing downtime and lowering physical strain. Companies that face labor shortages or operate in extreme environments gain a safer and more workable method for machine control, and this setup enables human expertise to support more machines without forcing operators into unsafe surroundings.
Wider Deployment Across Harsh Environments
BuilderX equipment has been adopted across mines, ports and industrial sites where harsh conditions often limit human presence. The company reports more than one hundred control consoles installed across China, Japan and other regions where heavy machinery must operate under difficult conditions. One demonstration showed an excavator in Japan being operated from Beijing over a public 4G network across more than one thousand seven hundred kilometers with low latency and precise responsiveness, and this test confirmed that remote operation can function well even over long distances using standard networks.
The company also worked with a major machinery manufacturer to retrofit a ninety-five-ton XE950DA excavator for a copper mine, and that project showed that tele remote control can support large scale mining tasks with AI supervision. This flexibility extends into ports, bulk unloading, factories and other heavy-duty settings where dust, limited visibility, extreme climate or hazardous materials challenge traditional onsite operation. In such places, remote AI control offers a safer and more manageable way to keep projects moving without exposing workers to those conditions.
A Shift Toward Safer and More Accessible Work
Remote AI operation from BuilderX changes the working model in heavy industries by reducing the need for workers to remain onsite in unsafe locations. Operators can work from office-based control centers with stable surroundings, which creates opportunities for people who cannot tolerate harsh physical environments and helps firms avoid disruption from safety incidents. Because the system supports many machine types and does not require firms to purchase new equipment, companies with limited budgets or older fleets can access safer automation without large capital outlay, and the quick installation process makes the solution widely accessible.
The AI assisted features strengthen machine control and hazard monitoring, and automated alerts paired with precise inputs improve safety outcomes while supporting productivity under conditions in which human vision or manual control would struggle. These improvements help firms reduce accidents while maintaining consistent output in difficult environments.
BuilderX continues to widen its presence by retrofitting thousands of machines and expanding into sectors that depend on heavy equipment. Recent partnership agreements, including a major distribution arrangement in Japan, point toward broader international reach. Work with technology firms that develop advanced perception systems is helping the company add 3D vision and thermal sensing to its remote operation consoles, and these upgrades are intended to support operations from dusty mines to underwater port environments.
As industries confront labor shortages, stronger safety expectations, environmental hazards and the need for uninterrupted production, remote AI control offers a workable path to operate heavy duty machinery without placing workers in unsafe conditions. The system helps lower risks, reduce operational costs and maintain production even when the environment demands safer methods.
BuilderX Robotics shows that automation in heavy industries does not require full machine replacement or fully autonomous robots. The company offers a retrofit path that merges remote control and AI intelligence into existing fleets, which preserves current investments while improving safety, reducing risk and giving firms a flexible way to operate equipment under harsh conditions. This path supports mining, construction, logistics and industrial sectors as they upgrade without heavy capital demands or workforce upheaval, and as more operators adopt remote AI control and more machines are retrofitted, heavy industry may enter an era in which demanding work continues without exposing people to dangerous environments and workers return home safely each day.
