World-class problem solvers

The AMLab story and the people that make it happen.

Our Story

Like every great tech company, our story begins with an idea and a garage. On a mission to improve the efficiency and safety of ports and armed with a prototype of metal tubing and Lego, continuous iteration has led to us solving some of the industry's hardest problems. Since 2016, we’ve developed bespoke autonomous scale models, raised capital and deployed our technology across the globe. Learning and delivering value every step of the way, we’re taking the next leap forward in automation and port operations.

Our
Values

Our Values

Build Trust

Trust is a feeling that comes from common values and beliefs. Trust is about having each others' best interests at heart. Trust builds confidence to take risks and experiment.

Be Authentic

Treat all with respect and equality but speak the truth even if unpleasant.

Rise Above the Merely Necessary

Free your ingenuity and imagination to tackle challenging and rewarding problems. Pursue maximum engagement. Eliminate the tedious and unproductive in enabling inspired collaborations and outcomes.

Take Responsibility

Never blame others. Always take ownership and look inwards at what could be done differently next time.

Create Intimacy

Eliminate heirarchy.

Take Smart Risks

Be constantly curious for better ways to do things. Balance exploration vs exploitation of new knowledge.
