The Power of Partnerships
As reported by the Buffalo News, UB alumni Ryan Litt and Patrick O’Connor, whose company is called 3AM Innovations, developed "Florian," an AI-powered incident command platform that provides real-time tracking, 3D mapping, and communication tools to protect first responders during emergencies.
Initially adopted by major cities like Boston, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, Florian recently gained traction in Western New York, where it was implemented by the Orchard Park Fire Department, which covers Highmark Stadium. O'Connor and Litt hope to expand Florian's use to more local departments, including Buffalo's, to enhance safety for firefighters nationwide, especially in smaller towns.
