Ailytics Raises $7.4M Series A for Video AI Site Safety

Singapore-based Ailytics, which adds video AI analysis to existing industrial CCTV cameras, announced on the 26th (local time) that it has raised $7.4 million in a Series A round led by Tin Men Capital. SG Growth Capital and Japan's Safie also took part.

Safie said on the 29th that it invested through its corporate venture arm, Safie Ventures. The round was oversubscribed, with a major Japanese construction company, a family office and existing investors also participating. Tin Men Capital had also led Ailytics' $2.7 million pre-Series A in April 2024. Safie's individual stake and the company's valuation were not disclosed.

Turning idle cameras into live monitoring

Ailytics argues that many sites in construction, manufacturing and maritime industries already have cameras, but footage is often reviewed only after an accident. Its platform, Ailyssa, applies computer vision and vision-language models (VLMs) to existing CCTV, estimating 3D spatial information from a single 2D feed. It then surfaces real-time insights on risk detection, compliance and operational efficiency. According to the company, most sites go live within two weeks.

In June, Ailytics introduced AilyssaX, a contextual reasoning engine that processes moving scenes in context and can verify multi-step work procedures, improving alert accuracy. After five years of field deployments, the system has been trained to cope with rain, dust, poor lighting, obstructions and decades-old cameras.

Customers and the Japan push

The company started with projects from Singapore's Housing & Development Board and contractors such as Obayashi, and now runs at scale at DHL and Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport. At the Changi Airport Terminal 5 construction site, it is used across more than 1,000 cameras.

In April, Ailytics signed a memorandum of understanding with Safie, which supplies products to 29 of Japan's top 30 construction companies. The new investment is meant to deepen that partnership, and Japan remains one of Ailytics' key markets.
