Flox Intelligence is deploying edge AI models to detect wildlife near critical infrastructure like railways and airports, using species-specific acoustic deterrents rather than traditional physical barriers. This approach addresses a significant operational cost driver by enabling autonomous systems to navigate the unstructured complexity of natural environments where standard computer vision often fails. The technology represents a practical application of machine learning for safety and efficiency in transportation sectors globally.

Flox's edge devices can identify animals and use species-specific sounds to drive them away from critical infrastructure.

When I was eight, I remember our train to Mumbai ground to a halt with a great noise. When we started moving again, a good eight hours later, someone pointed out a mangled tail, of all things, hanging from a branch close to the tracks. The train, you see, had apparently hit a wild bison at full speed, and the impact damaged the engine so badly that it had to be towed away for repairs.
