Division 02 · Atlas AI & Technologies

See more. Know more. Respond faster.

Technology built around real-world problems.

Atlas AI & Technologies is the technology and innovation division of MIDGARDx. We explore, develop and integrate AI, automation and emerging technology into practical systems that improve how businesses operate, communicate and make decisions.

It's not technology for its own sake. We find inefficient processes, repetitive work and complex operational problems, then work out where AI, automation or specialized technology gives a measurable advantage. Atlas is designed around one goal: reduce the time between finding a problem and solving it.

What is Atlas?

The construction AI built by MIDGARDx

Atlas is MIDGARDx's own trained construction AI. It's built on two years of construction training and stored data, and it's designed to be the smartest AI in the construction field: it spots hazards, materials and measurements on site and gives crews and supervisors answers in seconds.

Atlas is built to help people, not replace them. It's specifically designed to work alongside the people on the job, helping workers, foremen, supervisors and managers progress with technology while people stay in charge of the work and the decisions.

Atlas comes from the career of MIDGARDx founder Bruce Martin, who brings more than 30 years of construction and project management. It started in 2025, when Bruce published When Two Become One, a book about critical thinking with AI. That's where the idea for a construction AI came from.

See Atlas plans and pricing

Atlas AI. One team. Every field. The Atlas specialist bot family for construction, mining, oil fields, industrial, city, services, forestry, agriculture, utilities, academy, marine, civil and estimating.
Built for every role on site

Atlas is trained in 236 construction roles

Atlas has completed a full course of study for every position in a construction operation, from the CEO to the labourer. Each course covers the role's duties, authority, required skills and certifications, daily work, tools and documents, safety responsibilities, and who the role reports to. Atlas uses this to recognize every position, understand its responsibilities, set the right permission levels, coordinate communication and track accountability across the whole job.

What each role sees in Atlas

ExecutiveCompany-wide visibility, financial oversight, business performance, project portfolio management
Project managementBudgets, scheduling, contracts, project performance, resource allocation
SuperintendentsSite-wide control, construction sequencing, inspections, daily reports, trade coordination
SupervisorsTrade coordination, crew management, daily assignments, work progress
ForemenCrew-level management, task assignments, safety assessments, work verification

Chain of command

CEO / President → Director of Construction / COO → Project Executive / Project Director → Project Manager → General Superintendent → Superintendents / Site Managers → General Foremen / Foremen → Lead Hands / Skilled Trades / Labourers

Atlas follows the same chain of command your company runs on, so information, approvals and escalations go to the right person.

Targeting15–20%

greater overall job-site productivity

By cutting downtime, speeding up access to information, improving coordination, automating documentation, catching deficiencies earlier and giving supervisors real-time visibility. Individual workflows like reporting and inspections may see much larger gains.

What does 10% mean? On a project carrying $300,000 a week in loaded field labour, a 10% gain is about $30,000 a week of added productive capacity.

Productivity targets

30–70%Less time searching for project information
50–80%Less manual reporting and documentation
30–60%Faster deficiency documentation
20–50%Faster field questions and coordination
20–50%Less manual supervisory site-checking
10–30%Less rework from missed or outdated information

Broader development target: a 5–15% improvement in overall field productivity on suitable projects. Results depend on project conditions, adoption and integration, and will be validated through pilot projects with before-and-after data.

Odyssey Ventures is where MIDGARDx builds the future. It’s home to our open projects, new projects and emerging technology: ideas, devices, businesses and investments that don’t yet fit one of our operating divisions, including our ocular-kinetic technology research.

Some opportunities become investments. Others become partnerships, intellectual property, new companies or entirely new MIDGARDx divisions. Odyssey lets us chase unconventional opportunities while our core divisions stay focused. Promising ideas are researched, tested and, when strong enough, built into real businesses.

In development · Atlas Emergency Assist

Real-time awareness for those who protect and serve

Atlas Emergency Assist is a palm-sized Atlas device for police, fire, paramedics, search and rescue and security teams. It clips on or fits in a hand and brings the core of Atlas to the scene: it helps responders see what's around them, find people in poor conditions, and keep track of their team.

Every unit feeds the same Atlas command view used by our drones and thermal cameras, so commanders get one live picture of the incident. It follows the Atlas privacy rules: a visible recording light, role-based access and encrypted data.

Detects

People, vehicles & hazards

Atlas computer vision is built to pick out people, vehicles and hazards at a scene and flag them on the spot, so a responder's attention goes where it's needed first.

Thermal

Finds people & animals

Thermal sensing helps locate people and animals through smoke, darkness or heavy brush, where the eye alone can't see them.

Tracks

Teams, location & movement

Each unit shares its position and movement, so the incident commander can see where every member of the team is in real time.

Voice assist

Hands-free information

Responders ask Atlas out loud for what they need, such as building details, known hazards or where their team is, without putting down their tools.

Built for

  • Police & public safety
  • Fire departments & wildfire crews
  • Paramedics & first responders
  • Search & rescue teams
  • Security & municipal emergency crews

Small device. Bigger safety. Ready when it matters.

Atlas Pocket clip-on field device, front and back
O-01Atlas Pocket: front with screen and Atlas button, back with belt clip
In development · Atlas Pocket

Atlas in your pocket

Atlas Pocket puts the Atlas assistant in a rugged handheld that clips to a belt, vest or pocket. It's for crews who want Atlas on the job without wearing smart glasses or a hard-hat module, and for supervisors who move between sites all day.

Snap a deficiency photo, ask for a drawing detail or a clearance, get a safety alert, or check in with your supervisor, all from one device. It connects to the same Atlas platform as the hard-hat module, the field glasses and the command hub.

What's on the device

  • Camera. Top-mounted lens for photos and video of the work, deficiencies and site conditions, tied to the job and location.
  • Screen. A bright colour display shows Atlas prompts, answers, alerts and checklists at a glance.
  • Atlas button. One press on the front button starts a request, so Atlas is always a single touch away.
  • Microphone & speaker. A dedicated microphone button and built-in speaker let workers talk to Atlas and hear answers without looking down.
  • Status lights. Blue lights on the sides show when the unit is on, listening or recording, so the people around it always know.
  • Rugged build & clip. A tough shell and heavy belt clip on the back keep it on a belt, vest or pocket through a full day on site.

Both devices are in development, so features and specifications may change before release. Contact us to join early testing.

Workplace privacy

Better tools, not surveillance

Atlas AI glasses are built with privacy by design. The goal is to make construction safer, smarter and more efficient without giving up worker privacy.

Communication: worker rule #1

No monitor, supervisor, superintendent, manager or remote operator can switch on or listen to a worker's microphone. They send a request through Atlas and the worker accepts or declines. Two-way audio starts only after the worker accepts, and the worker can decline, mute or end it at any time. An on-screen indicator shows when audio is live. Emergency procedures are designed separately and never silently override microphone privacy.

Visible recording status

Workers and people nearby can always tell when a camera or recording function is on. Recording is never hidden.

Role-based access

Permissions follow responsibility, with different access for workers, supervisors, safety staff, project managers and administrators.

Secure data

Video, images, project information and communications are encrypted in transit and at rest, with authenticated access to sensitive information.

Data retention controls

Each project sets how long each type of information is kept, and data that's no longer needed is removed automatically.

Worker transparency

Workers know what the glasses can capture, when, why, who can see it and how long it's kept. Audio is kept only for recorded accident reports.

No unrestricted monitoring

Atlas supports workers. It doesn't secretly track every movement or conversation. Camera and sensor access is purpose-driven and governed by set policies.

AI with human oversight

Atlas can flag hazards, help with inspections and organize field information, but important safety, employment and project decisions stay with people.
