About ORIT
We build robots that earn their keep.
ORIT is a Canadian AI and robotics company deploying practical automation into real operations — no futuristic theatre, just measurable operational value, on the floor, on the night shift, on schedule.
Our mission
Automation that shows up to work.
Too much of the robotics industry sells the future. We sell the shift that needs covering tonight. ORIT brings AI software and physical robots together into systems that operators actually run — proven on one site, then scaled across many.
We’re practical on purpose. Every deployment starts as a pilot with a number attached, and every system is something your existing team can own.
What we believe
Four principles, no slogans.
Pilot before promises
We prove value on one site with real numbers before anyone signs up for a rollout. If it doesn’t work, we don’t scale it.
Operators come first
The people running the building are the customer. If a system isn’t something they can own, we haven’t finished the job.
Build on what exists
We connect the cameras, sensors and tools you already own. No rip-and-replace, no vendor lock-in theatre.
Measure everything
Tickets down, response time down, coverage up. If we can’t show the delta, it isn’t done.
The team
Operators, engineers and roboticists.
Yonas Fita
Founder & CEO
Founder of ORIT and the architect of its pilot-first approach. Based in Calgary, Yonas leads strategy and deployment — working directly with operations teams to put practical AI and robotics to work on real sites.
Ben Blumer, PhD
Head of Robotics & Software
Leads both ORIT’s robotics integration and the software that runs it — from cobot and quadruped cell design and duty-cycle validation to the operations console and the AI layer that turns sensor data into action.
Steve Blumer
Kiosk Build & Construction
President of Calgary’s Blumer Homes, with 30+ years building custom homes and commercial projects across Alberta. At ORIT, Steve oversees the physical build of every kiosk — from structure and finish to on-site installation.
Anayo Okaffor
Legal Counsel
Has practiced business law in Western Canada for over 12 years. Anayo advises ORIT on the contracts, partnerships and compliance behind every deployment.
Andy Ma, PhD
Project Manager, PMP
A PMP-certified project manager with a PhD, Andy keeps deployments on schedule — coordinating build, integration and on-site rollout across every ORIT engagement.
Shella Davidson
Financial Advisor
Over 20 years in the banking industry. Shella structures financing for ORIT clients — making the path from pilot to full deployment work on the numbers.
Built in Canada
Deployed where the work is.
Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with active deployments across the country’s commercial, industrial and institutional sites. We deploy on the ground — walking the floor, not shipping a box.
Let’s find your highest-impact pilot.
Tell us where the operational pain is. We’ll walk the site, scope a practical pilot, and prove it before we scale.
