Guident deploys AI-powered WatchBot safety system at Coastal Waste

BOCA RATON, Florida - Guident Corp. has signed an agreement with Coastal Waste & Recycling Inc. to implement its WatchBot safety monitoring system across Coastal’s waste management facilities, according to a press release statement issued Thursday.

The AI-powered WatchBot solution will conduct autonomous patrols and inspections at Coastal’s operations throughout Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The system is designed to perform thermal inspections, detect truck damage, monitor personal protective equipment compliance, and check tank cages.

Coastal Waste & Recycling, which provides nearly two million waste services monthly through its 43 locations, aims to enhance operational safety and reduce risks with this technology implementation.

"At Coastal Waste & Recycling, safety is at the core of everything we do," said Chad Abell, Vice President of EHS & Engineering at Coastal Waste & Recycling. "This technology empowers our teams with real-time insights and enables us to proactively address potential risks."

Harald Braun, Chairman & CEO of Guident, called the partnership a demonstration of "shared commitment to safety and operational excellence."

The agreement represents Guident’s expansion in the commercial application of its autonomous monitoring technology. Guident specializes in remote monitoring and control systems for autonomous vehicles and devices.

Tekcapital plc, a UK intellectual property investment group listed on London’s AIM market, owns approximately 70% of Guident Corp. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed in the announcement.
