🦺 Advanced manufacturing gets real when world-class companies decide to push the edge. We’re incredibly excited that Zabidou is working with Vossloh Australia VSTA to deploy our in-line sensing technology for advanced manufacturing quality assurance directly on their production line. This is exactly where AI-empowered sensing belongs → in the flow of production, providing real-time verification and insights while parts are being made. VSTA are an exceptional organisation with a deep commitment to engineering excellence and continuous improvement. Partnering with teams like this is how meaningful innovation actually reaches the factory floor. A special thank you to Sebastian E., Simon Lambert, Adam Clifton, Murray Adams and the entire VSTA crew for the openness, collaboration and momentum behind this work. Looking forward to what we build together! #AdvancedManufacturing #Precast #AI #DeepTech #Industry40 #QualityAssurance
About us
Industrial feed lines in mining, food production, and recycling require more than simple object identification. They need a comprehensive, real-time understanding of material properties. When subtle differences in composition, texture, or density determine a product's fate—whether accepted, rejected, or rerouted—the stakes are enormous. This multi-billion dollar global industry sees direct benefits from deeper material insights: significant process savings, higher yields, reduced waste, and meaningful circular economy wins. Yet conventional robotic vision systems lack this crucial sensitivity. They can see, but cannot feel. In these industries, feel is often everything. "Zabidou has developed a novel laser sensing system that generates over 100,000 points per second—each one imprinted with the feeling of touch on every pixel in the environment." - Dr Cibby Pulikkaseril This breakthrough enables unprecedented precision. Machines can now distinguish between visually similar materials that behave differently, advancing smarter, leaner, and more sustainable operations.

We've sent Nathan Kirchner to the National Precast Concrete Association conference up in Brisbane, and, as always, he's delighted to be there. So much that he's becoming a Queenslander at heart.
I love blocks of concrete & Reo 😐 No seriously, hear me out! A lot of out construction happen with precast and tilt-up panels. I’m deeply an engineer at heart. I love using my science to impact real operations… and that’s exactly what’s happening here! Thanks Zabidou & thanks National Precast Concrete Association Australia for making this possible! And yep, Cibby Pulikkaseril thanks to you too mate!

We are proud to announce a new project: End of Line Contaminant Detection for Lyka Lyka produces fresh dog food to human food standards, with a core focus on health, quality, and safety. That bar is non-negotiable. Every pack leaving the facility must meet strict internal and regulatory expectations, and even a small quality slip can undermine customer trust. This makes end of line quality control a mission critical step in their operation. What We Do We deploy advanced sensing at the end of the production line to detect contaminants before products are shipped. By inspecting every unit at the final checkpoint, defective products are intercepted early, preventing them from reaching customers. Just as importantly, quality data is captured and linked to production context, giving Lyka confidence that what leaves the factory meets their standards every time. Return on Investment The impact is immediate and measurable. Lyka benefits from reduced product loss, fewer recalls, and a significant drop in customer complaints. Confidence in end of line quality control has increased across operations, allowing teams to move faster without compromising safety. The system also supports traceability, which is essential for a business operating at human grade food standards. “Quality and safety are at the heart of everything we do at Lyka. Having the ability to reliably detect contaminants at the end of the line, and to trust that process every day, gives our team and our customers real confidence in our product.” - Andy Baxter OAM, Head of Operations, Lyka What Excites the Team Lyka was particularly excited by access to advanced sensing at a low price point, the ability to deploy quickly on site, and the flexibility to customise the detection strategy. The sensing approach was tailored precisely to their production needs and constraints, rather than forcing their operation to adapt to a rigid, off the shelf system.

Fantastic day at Future of Construction - FCON Tech Sydney! It was a pleasure representing Zabidou, Melt Ventures, Grey Wall Advisory & of course my baby Presien, & delivering my session on Field Technology & Robotics: Aligning Innovation with Strategic Outcomes! This event just keeps getting better. Huge thanks to Leon Kantor & Fergus Cunningham for putting on another great show. 👏 Great to finally meet Roderic McLauchlan in person, always awesome catching up with the formidable John N., and Andrew Hutchison, loved our chat about prefab possibilities. I am really looking forward to working together. Next stop: I cannot wait to deliver my Infrastructure Intelligence Lab based Masterclass at FuturePlace's Digital Built World Summit (https://lnkd.in/dwbHVyNK). It is going to be a good one!

Australia pours out 0.5–1.2M prefab concrete sleepers every year alone, plus 100–300 turnouts and countless heavy panels. NSW & VIC dominate ~50% of supply, WA & QLD heavy-haul add ~30%. A USD 3–10B global market, expanding 4–6% CAGR, fuelled by Asia-Pacific mega-builds; Vossloh Murray Adams, Adam Clifton, Simon Lambert, Humes - A Division of Holcim Australia, Adbri Cement , and many more, you all live what we mean! Here’s the kicker: every sleeper, every turnout, every panel must prove itself. Producers sample. Customers demand evidence. Nobody covers 100%. Zabidou flips this script. Advanced sensing delivers full-stream data, real-time quality, bulletproof assurity. This is how you scale. This is how you win. #Rail #Prefab #Construction #HeavyIndustries #AI #DeepTech #Innovation
