Who We Are

Xpanner is redefining construction by empowering the people who build our world. We retrofit heavy machinery with easy-to-use software and Physical AI, tackling critical safety and productivity challenges on the ground. Through our subscription-based automation model (AaaS), we deliver task-specific, field-ready solutions that immediately maximize jobsite efficiency without massive upfront hardware costs. Backed by top-tier global venture capital and optimized by the industry's largest physical dataset, we are actively transforming renewable energy and infrastructure projects today. We don't just build abstract concepts— we put real, practical solutions to work in the field.

The Shop team keeps Xpanner's fleet of retrofitted, GPS-equipped construction equipment safe, reliable, and field-ready. Based out of our Aledo, TX shop, they inspect, repair, and maintain heavy machinery, install and calibrate GPS and special-attachment systems, and jump in to support field teams when urgent issues come up on-site. As Xpanner scales its U.S. rental and sales operations, this team is the backbone that keeps machines running.

• Testing & Performance Verification: Conduct post-maintenance and post-installation operational tests — monitoring engine, hydraulic, electrical, structural, and GPS/attachment performance — and troubleshoot any issues before equipment returns to the field.
• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain detailed service records, submit reports to supervisors, and track spare parts inventory to keep the shop audit-ready and well-stocked.
• Workshop & Safety Management: Keep the shop clean, organized, and stocked with well-maintained tools and equipment, while adhering to company safety policies, PPE requirements, and safety audits.
