Envision Racing is revolutionizing race strategy by harnessing cutting-edge artificial intelligence from Sand Technologies, giving engineers freedom from lengthy manual tasks and increasing accuracy of race analysis.
London, UK. 4th April: Sand Technologies, an enterprise AI solutions company, partnered with Envision Racing at the start of the 2024/25 Season to develop a bespoke solution that streamlines data analysis during races. Partnering with one of the founding teams and Season 9 winners of the FIA Formula E World Championship, Sand Technologies’ solution allows Envision Racing’s team to focus on extracting maximum performance and outpacing the competition.
“In Formula E, every second counts,” said Sylvain Filippi, Managing Director and CTO of Envision Racing. “By automating complex, time-consuming processes over a race weekend, our engineers and mechanics can focus on strategy, performance and – hopefully – victory. Sand Technologies has, and will continue to be, a game changer for us when it comes to efficiency.”
Sand Technologies’ AI application rapidly processes race data, optimising decision making while reducing human workload. It has proven to have unprecedentedly high accuracy after just 3 race events, and as it continues to learn and improve with more data, it far exceeds the limits of human performance.
Sand Technologies CEO, Fred Swaniker, said: “We are excited to partner with Envision Racing to provide them with AI solutions that enable insights, efficiency, data-driven decision-making and ultimately more wins. Software is increasingly becoming a competitive differentiator in motorsport, particularly in Formula E. Envision Racing’s innovative use of AI ensures they’re setting the pace.”
In addition to improving on-track performance, Sand Technologies is supporting the team with AI solutions that will drive fan engagement and advance its mission to drive action around sustainability.
