Start Your Autonomous Equipment Pilot
Low-risk path to autonomous operations. Retrofit 3-5 machines, run for 60-90 days, and decide based on real results from your site.
What's a Pilot?
A pilot program lets you experience CHINOU autonomous equipment on your site, with your machines, and your team — before committing to a larger deployment.
- Select 3-5 machines for retrofit
- Define success metrics with our team
- 60-90 day evaluation period
- Full support and training included
- Scale decision based on real results
Pilot Includes
Retrofit Installation
2-3 day installation per machine. Non-invasive, protects your warranty.
Operator Training
Full training on fleet control dashboard, autonomous operations, and intervention protocols.
On-Site Support
CHINOU team on-site during initial deployment. Remote support throughout the pilot period.
Performance Analytics
Detailed metrics on productivity, utilization, and operator efficiency throughout the pilot.
Who It's For
Pilot programs are available for rental companies, contractors, and government agencies.
Rental Companies
Turn your rental fleet into an autonomous fleet. Solve the operator shortage and create new revenue streams with premium autonomous rentals.
General Contractors
Do more with fewer operators. Win more bids with faster timelines. Autonomous equipment changes the economics of your projects.
Government Agencies
Autonomous excavators for disaster response, critical infrastructure, and hazardous environments. Remove operators from dangerous situations.
The Process
From discovery call to scale decision, here's how a pilot program works.
Discovery Call
We discuss your fleet, operations, and goals. Identify the best machines and use cases for the pilot.
Fleet Assessment
Technical review of selected machines. Site visit if needed. Define pilot scope and success metrics.
Installation
Our team installs the retrofit kit on 3-5 machines. Non-invasive, 2-3 days per machine.
Training
Your operators learn the fleet control dashboard. Practice autonomous operations with full support.
Pilot Operation
Run autonomous operations on your site with CHINOU support. Track metrics and optimize performance.
Results Review
Review pilot data together. Discuss results, learnings, and scale decision based on your experience.
