Smart Eye Receives Milestone AIS Order from Fleet Safety Company Optix
September 11, 2025 | Smart EyeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Smart Eye, a global leader in Human Insight AI and Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), announced a milestone order for its AIS system from Optix, a global provider of fleet management solutions. Initially, in 2025, 4,000 commercial vehicles will be equipped with Smart Eye’s technology, marking the first wave of deployments globally.
This milestone comes after nearly two years of close collaboration between the two companies, including joint field testing and system refinement for real-world fleet use.
Smart Eye’s AIS system is a complete driver support solution that detects distraction and drowsiness using advanced eye and face tracking. Built for commercial vehicles, it provides real-time alerts to help prevent accidents and support fleet operators in improving road safety across their operations.
“We work with fleet operators across the globe who need reliable solutions to reduce risk and keep their drivers safe,” said Clay Colegate, Chief Business Development Officer at Optix. “Smart Eye’s AIS system delivered the level of performance and stability we were looking for during testing, and is well-suited for large-scale deployment. The collaboration has made it possible to integrate the system efficiently and offer it as part of a scalable global safety solution for our customers. “Fatigue is a primary root cause to the most severe collisions, our core focus with the AIS system is saving lives in these critical fatigue moments and getting all road users safely home.”
The deal strengthens Smart Eye’s position in the global aftermarket, with AIS systems set to be deployed in customer fleets operating all over the world. A growing fleet of real-world users provides Smart Eye with valuable operational feedback, strengthening future development and scaling efforts.
“This order is the result of extensive real-world testing and technical development to make the system ready for large-scale fleet deployment,” said Felix Hörnschemeyer, Technical Lead Applied AI Systems at Smart Eye. “We’ve optimized both hardware and software to meet the demands of daily fleet operation. It’s a clear signal that the market is ready for this type of technology and we see strong potential to expand the rollout in the coming years as more vehicles are equipped with AIS.”
