London, UK — Clearway Group has announced a significant expansion through the acquisition of LociLabs Limited and the subsequent launch of its in-house Innovation Team, Clearway Labs. This development marks a new chapter for Clearway as it aims to set a benchmark in actionable analytics.

Clearway Labs: A Hub of Innovation

Clearway Labs will spearhead the advancement of IoT devices, development, project management, and consultancy services. Its capabilities are poised to transform unstructured data from various sources, such as cameras, into structured, actionable insights. These insights are vital for applications across multiple sectors, including highways and infrastructure, to enhance safety, compliance, and risk mitigation.

Cutting-edge AI Models

The AI models developed by Clearway Labs are designed to interpret data and generate valuable reports, assisting customers in protecting roadworkers, businesses, and road users more effectively. The initiative will leverage Clearway’s existing proficiency in highway technology solutions, which encompass a range of services from temporary mobile CCTV and stopped vehicle detection to vehicle speed analysis and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition).

Expansive Capabilities

Clearway’s offering extends to wearable safety solutions such as bodycams and helmet-cams, along with PPE monitoring and detection. These services are augmented by Clearway’s NSI Gold CAT II Alarm Receiving Centre, which ensures the security and protection of people, compounds, and assets. Clearway operates across the UK, France, and Germany, employing over 500 individuals.

Strategic Synergy with LociLabs

The acquisition of LociLabs, renowned for its expertise in AI and software development, will enrich Clearway’s technological arsenal. This strategic move combines Clearway’s extensive knowledge in the highways industry with LociLabs’ prowess in AI, thus enabling Clearway to offer comprehensive solutions that address commercial, regulatory, and security concerns.

Platform Overview

Clearway’s cloud-based platform, which also supports edge computing, allows analytics to be conducted locally on devices such as cameras. This hybrid approach ensures seamless operation, even in scenarios where devices may not always be connected to the internet.

Leadership Perspectives

Commenting on the launch, Jonathan Brewer, Clearway’s Chief Digital Officer, expressed excitement about the new venture. “We are thrilled to welcome the talented team at LociLabs to the Clearway family. This acquisition not only boosts our software and product development capabilities but also enables us to form Clearway Labs, our innovation hub.
