Internet of things cloud platform provider Samsara Inc. today unveiled a broad set of new artificial intelligence-powered solutions that are aimed at transforming safety, efficiency and operational intelligence across the physical operations sector.
The company’s latest offerings include updates to its Connected Operations Platform with innovations spanning vehicle safety, routing, maintenance and worker protection, both inside and outside the vehicle.
Leading the list of announcements is a suite of new AI Safety Intelligence tools that are designed to help fleet operators detect risk and prevent incidents in real time. Among the new features is the AI Multicam system, which allows up to four high-definition cameras to be mounted around a vehicle, offering 360-degree visibility with real-time hazard alerts. Other updates include weather overlays, automated coaching for lean safety teams and in-app driver recognition programs that reward safe behavior.
The Samsara Driver App has also been overhauled with end-of-day reviews and short-form training videos to engage drivers and reinforce safety practices. The new version also gives managers access to trend analysis across drivers and routes that provides a broader view of behavioral patterns rather than isolated events.
The company also introduced the Samsara Wearable, a lightweight safety device designed for frontline workers that offers fall detection, real-time location sharing and one-click access to emergency services. The wearable device has a remarkable battery life of more than one year, negating the need for daily charging, which Samsara says is typical for most wearable devices in industrial settings.
On the logistics side, Samsara is introducing new Route Planning and Commercial Navigation capabilities to help fleet operators move away from outdated mapping systems and manual route building. The new tools integrate with sales systems to create optimized delivery schedules and factor in traffic, weather and regulatory requirements. According to Samsara, early users are seeing up to 15% fewer vehicles needed for deliveries and significant reductions in route planning time.
Maintenance and compliance also get a look-in, with enhancements including voice-to-text Driver Vehicle Inspection Report reports, fault code intelligence and AI-generated work orders. The platform additionally also now supports invoice scanning to reduce manual data entry and offer better visibility into repair costs and timelines.
Lastly, Samsara also today announced a new integration with HappyRobot Inc., an AI voice automation platform that handles more than 20 million logistics conversations annually. The partnership will allow Samsara customers to use agentic AI for driver communications, scheduling, hiring and contract negotiations, all through the Samsara App Marketplace.
“Thanks to rapid advancements in AI technology, we’ve been able to build new products that are now empowering drivers to make better decisions on the road and equipping safety teams with the tools for faster, more effective feedback,” said Johan Land, senior vice president of product and engineering at Samsara. “AI is increasingly becoming a powerful ally in protecting drivers, and Samsara is at the forefront of this trend.”
