Sand Technologies, an award-winning enterprise AI solutions company, has partnered with Envision Racing to provide advanced AI and data tools to help the Formula E racing team and climate champions solve their data challenges as they race to shape the future of e-mobility.
Envision Racing and Sand Technologies will collaborate to explore the various ways AI solutions can positively impact the team, from fan engagement and its efforts to advance sustainability, through to enhancing operations at their Silverstone base in the UK, and further afield as they travel globally to compete in the FIA Formula E World Championship.
Already, Sand Technologies’ world-class AI and data-science talent have begun working with Envision Racing to identify and deliver measurable results, transforming processes, and improving sustainability practices.
Underscoring Sand Technologies’ partnership with Envision Racing, the company will feature on Team collateral from testing. The two parties have started collaborating on a roadmap to improve performance from the boardroom and beyond over the coming Seasons. The first steps on this roadmap include innovative deployments of digital twins, computer vision, and other advanced AI technologies.
Sylvain Filippi, Managing Director and CTO of Envision Racing, said: “We are thrilled to announce this multi-year partnership with our friends at Sand Technologies. Sand Technologies and Envision Racing share a vision to ensure that connected cities and populations of the present and future are well-placed to transition to clean, secure and affordable renewable energy.
“We are excited to see how Sand Technologies can support us in playing our own role in this journey. They are already having an impact in the development of EV infrastructure and in supporting the expansion of the EV charging network to keep pace with EV adoption.”
Fred Swaniker, CEO of Sand Technologies, said: “AI can make all the difference for a business where every action and reaction can amount to an extra thousandth of a second. At Sand Technologies, we are passionate about AI’s ability to perform in difficult and high-pressure environments—whether it is optimising a mobile network in split seconds, helping to prevent a pollution incident for a water utility, predicting a pandemic, or making progress against the world’s sustainability goals.
“We are thrilled to partner with a motorsport leader like Envision Racing who shares our values and wants to push the envelope with AI across every function of their business.”
