The digital world has already become much smarter thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence, and now a startup called Firefly Technology Inc. wants to do the same for the physical world, beginning with workplace safety.

It has just raised $20 million in funding via a Series A round to make that happen. Today’s round was led by Definition Capital, which previously funded Ramp Business Corp. and Cognition Inc., developer of the AI coding assistant Devin. It was joined by BoxGroup, making its third investment in Firefly, and Susa Ventures, which led the startup’s seed round earlier this year.

Firefly’s goal is to make the world a safer place, and it believes it can do that by extending AI into the physical world to make safety systems more intelligent. Though devices such as security cameras, radios and sensors have helped make locations such as schools, hospitals and other venues safer than they used to be, there’s still a lot of disconnect between these systems. Cameras can see what’s happening, radios can facilitate communication between security personnel and sensors can trigger alarms, but these devices all work in isolation.
