"Revolutionizing Tire Installation"
Boston-area robotics startup building automated robotic systems that change and balance vehicle tires faster, safer and more efficiently.
Automated Tire, Inc. (ATI) is a US robotics company developing automated, robotic tire-changing and balancing systems for tire shops, dealerships and automotive service providers. The company was founded by a team of serial entrepreneurs with deep automotive and tire-industry experience and multiple prior successful exits, who recognized that the tire-changing process has remained largely unchanged for a century and that shops increasingly struggle to staff skilled technicians. ATI's mission is to transform how tires are changed and balanced by applying robotic automation to a manual, labor-intensive task, delivering faster service, improved safety and a better return on investment for shops and dealerships while reducing dependence on hard-to-find technician labor.
The company is backed by leading investors from the automotive and tire sectors and draws its engineering talent from the Boston-area robotics community, including individuals who have previously built and scaled successful robotics startups. By leveraging robotic technology, ATI aims to streamline the existing tire-service workflow and improve the experience for customers, shops and vehicles alike, aligning the process with the growing demands of modern vehicles. The company emphasizes quicker turnaround for customers and stronger throughput and economics for service businesses adopting its automated systems.
