Ideation & Enabling Technology Concepts
We learn how your business keeps the world turning, then work with your team to determine the best ways to leverage enabling tech like robots, machine vision, and artificial intelligence. We create pathways to transforming the way you make money, so you can make more of it.
Automation System Development
Integrating "off the shelf" industrial automation technologies can result in systems that come with ROI and process compromises, or worse still, simply aren't feasible for your highly varied process. We develop entirely new system architectures to fit within your budget, without process compromise. Our goal is to invent a "triple whammy" win; an automated system that uses less labor, offers a higher yield, and produces more quickly.
Perception Development
While silicon valley is busy applying machine learning tools to incredibly challenging efforts like autonomous cars, industry can apply these same tools to less technically challenging problems like image classification & localization. We create intelligent machines that make subjective decisions about highly varied things in highly varied environments. Only pick the "ripe" fruit, reject the "bad" composite parts, or assess the "vigor" of each plant.
OEM Machinery Enhancement
"Close enough" works for horseshoes & hand grenades, but costs your business money. OEM's often design machinery for a broad range of customers & applications, resulting in imperfect solutions that don't completely meet the need. We can enhance your packaging machine with perception to find "leakers", or provide better kinematic pathways to go faster. Let us create a "super sport" version of an OEM machine that will do more for you than it does for your competition.
Rescue Engineering, Strategy & Analysis
Behind on an existing project? Don't know where to begin? Automate or your 4th generation family business goes out of business!? Our big minds thrive in high stress, do-or-die environments. Our cumulative experience and "in the trenches" discovery process allows our team to distill fuzzy & complex problems down into manageable steps forward. We work with your management team to create technology implementation strategies to ensure you remain a leader in your space & that your future is profitable.
Machine Learning & Applied Data Science
The advent of machine learning software tools and GPU-derived AI-inference engines has ushered in a new era of automation system development. We're able to solve entirely new classes of problems. We're no longer constrained by old machine vision tools and the perception-actuation loop can happen in real time, enabling robots & machinery to automate jobs they never could before "at the edge", without a connection to the cloud. Data collected from your industrial process is the new oil. We can help you monetize that data, mine it for insights, and use data science techniques to extract competitive advantages undiscovered by your competition.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Laser Weeder/Thinner
L&A has invented the world's first agriculture laser. Our patent pending technology is a rugged, modular enabling technology piece designed to be easily integrated into grower, OEM, and AgTech startup machinery.
Harvest Yield Monitoring
Leveraging AgCeption™ at the edge, our rugged perception modules can be placed throughout specialty crop harvesting machines to monitor harvest yield in real time. The technology automatically alerts drivers to excessive loss conditions that require machine adjustments to improve yield.

ABOUT
Chris Laudando is a passionate entrepreneur, archaic industry visionary, and human influencer. Throughout his career, he has challenged companies, industry leaders, and engineering teams to develop better technology solutions to industry threatening problems. The first half of his career was focused exclusively on food processing technology, which led to him founding Robodondo LLC in 2015. After Robodondo was acquired by Motivo Engineering in 2017, Chris subsequently co-founded Stout AgTech in 2019. Chris' latest role is at the helm of his 3rd company, Laudando & Associates LLC, where he has assembled a team of high-integrity, high-caliber engineers that are at the service of equally high-integrity, high-ambition clients (like you).
