Awake.AI
Founding team has worked together for a long time. Before Awake.AI, founders and key employees were working at Rolls-Royce and developed the world's first remotely controlled and autonomous vessels. Karno Tenovuo, CEO, was the SVP of the Rolls-Royce Ship Intelligence business. Kimmo Kummala, VP Engineering, was leading the SW engineering. Jussi Poikonen, VP of AI & Analytics, was leading the AI for RR autonomous ships. Simo Salminen, VP Product, was leading the product management at RR. Then they realised the smart vessel alone does not solve the world's challenges and ship will still need to wait. They did not find any other company solving these challenges so the founders decided to do it themselves.
Moving from emails, phone calls, faxes and whatsup messages to a centralised way of communication that is secure and safe. People can communicate with the relevant parties publicly and privately along the supply chain. Communication channels are created automatically when vessel is approaching the port. Everyone knows in real-time predictions when events like ship arrival will happen.
AI-driven software as a service affordably and fast. Our customers do not need to invest years and million into becoming a smart logistic actor. Instead they can get that from us as a service in a matter of weeks. Growing smart port and shipping ecosystem with over hundred partners already proving the network and learning effect.
