Oshkosh Corporation showcased advanced technologies that empower those who do tough work -- building, serving and protecting communities around the world. Shaping the future of job sites, neighborhoods and airports, these solutions bring together autonomy, AI, connectivity and electrification technologies to support everyday heroes -- firefighters, airport ground crews, mail carriers, soldiers and construction workers. For example, two lifts can be used to move and lift an I-beam into position synchronously, then notify a nearby boom lift that the beam is in place and ready for welding through ClearSky Smart Fleet technology.
These micro-sized scissor lifts are ideal for the growing data center markets and space-constrained sites that require compact lifts. Oshkosh Corporation is advancing its vision for the job site of the future with the acquisition of the core technology developed by Canvas, a construction robotics company whose technologies accelerate the shift toward connected, autonomous and intelligent equipment. Canvas developed the world's first robotic drywall finishing system, a flexible end-effector platform designed to promote safety, productivity and efficiency in one of construction's most demanding trades.
The relationship between the companies began six years ago when Canvas selected a JLG platform to develop its robot. Since then, the technology has advanced to automate repetitive tasks and enable consistent, high-quality results. This addition expands Oshkosh's portfolio of intelligent technologies to address job site challenges and support those who do tough work.
Shaping the neighborhoods of the future: Oshkosh is moving quickly to bring its vision of the neighborhood of the future to life. Then, HARR-E makes its way to the designated pickup point. This year, HARR-E technology is evolving.
It now features a new, two-piece design that makes it easy to lift and transfer waste into a central dumpster or collection point. It measures the volume and weight of waste at each pickup, notifying waste companies when a dumpster or central container is approaching capacity, and uses AI-optimized routes to serve multiple requests efficiently. It is ideal for planned communities, campuses and corporate parks, event venues and stadiums, and even indoor environments like malls and senior living facilities.
Collision Avoidance Mitigation System (CAMS):Oshkosh introduced the first purpose-built technology to anticipate collisions for firefighters and others working on active roadways inches away from traffic at CES 2025. Over the past year, Oshkosh field-tested this AI-powered solution with fire departments in large cities. The feedback has been powerful.
The advancements in contamination detection, HARR-E and CAMS technologies are three examples of how Oshkosh is using innovative AI and autonomy in everyday environments. Airports are complex environments that demand high safety standards while still needing to move massive crowds of travelers to their destinations with efficiency and precision. Based on decades of expertise working in airport environments, Oshkosh developed two key technology solutions to promote safety and operations: Oshkosh Striker®?
Volterra?? Electric Airport Rescue and Firefighting Vehicle (ARFF): This electrified vehicle is a lifeline for airport fire crews. It fuses electrification with world-class firefighting performance, while providing rapid acceleration and powerful response capability to deliver speed-to-scene and manage emissions on the airfield in a high-idle application.
Built on Oshkosh's proven Volterra electrification technology, this powerhouse vehicle accelerates a 45-ton vehicle from zero to fifty miles per hour in under 25 seconds -- a 28% leap in performance over traditional internal-combustion ARFF vehicles -- all while maintaining unwavering power. Originally designed and used in the defense industry, this proven system combines autonomous mobility, AI-driven perception and task-configurable hardware to promote flexibility, utilization and ROI in airport operations. Travelers want airports to be safe while helping them get to their destinations quickly, and technology plays a pivotal role for airport operations.
Travelers want hospitals to be safe while helping them getting to their destinations quickly, and Technology plays a pivotal role in the defense industry.
