A word from the Chairman and Founder
“At Rapid Jacob, we firmly believe that innovation is only valuable if it meets a concrete need. The idea of founding this company was born directly in the field, by observing the daily challenges faced by workers, engineers and project managers in complex environments such as construction sites or factories.
As an engineer and entrepreneur, I’ve always been driven by a simple goal: to make technology useful, robust and intuitive. We don’t develop robots for the prestige of innovation – we design them to solve real problems, improve safety, precision and productivity, and support teams in their operational transformation.
Rapid Jacob is also a human adventure. It’s the fruit of collaboration between experts in engineering, robotics, safety and industrial innovation. Together, we’re building an agile company that’s rooted in reality, yet focused on the future.
Thank you for being part of this technological and human journey.”

From field to technology: our progress
Creation of Rapid Jacob
Rapid Jacob was founded with a clear mission: to revolutionize worksites through intelligent automation.
Our initial research and field analysis validated a real need for an innovative solution.
Deployment of site automation engineering services
The year of the first technical milestone. A functional prototype is deployed on a test site.
Feedback from users enables us to refine the technology and confirm the product-market fit.
Pilot project on site
We launch a large-scale pilot project on a real site.
The results confirm the efficiency, robustness and positive impact of our solution on costs and productivity.
Based in Quebec, Rapid Jacob caters for both local companies and large-scale industrial projects, both here and abroad.
