BrightAI and Latham, The Pool Company, Partner to Bring AI-Powered Innovation to Pool Manufacturing

BrightAI, a company bringing AI to the physical world to drive smarter, more efficient cities and industries, and Latham Group, Inc. (“Latham” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: SWIM), the largest designer, manufacturer, and marketer of in-ground residential swimming pools in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, have partnered to create Measure by Latham Pools, an AI-powered measurement technology that transforms how pool liners and covers are measured, manufactured, and installed.

BrightAI is redefining how industries interact with the physical world, replacing legacy manual processes with real-time AI-driven intelligence. By optimizing industrial infrastructure and streamlining manufacturing, BrightAI delivers efficiency at scale. Now, BrightAI is bringing that same innovation to pool manufacturing.

No two pools are exactly alike, making precise measurements essential to ensuring a perfect fit. Yet, for decades, builders have relied on manual tape measurements and hand-drawn sketches—a time and labor-intensive process vulnerable to errors. Even the smallest miscalculation can result in costly rework, production delays, and frustrated customers. With every pool having unique dimensions and structural features, builders and manufacturers often face back-and-forth verification, creating bottlenecks that slow down the entire order-to-installation process.

BrightAI and Latham share a vision to digitize this process, eliminating inefficiencies and bringing AI-driven precision to pool measurement and manufacturing. By leveraging BrightAI’s AI-powered measurement system, Measure ensures accuracy the first time, streamlining workflows and cutting production timelines. The Measure system consists of:

• M1 Scanner equipped with lasers to capture precise pool dimensions and structural details in real time.

• An iPad Air® running the Measure app for real-time data processing.

• A tripod for stable, secure setup in the field.

Once measurements are captured using laser scanning technology, the data is automatically uploaded to Latham’s Builder Management Portal, enabling real-time drawings, accuracy verification, and streamlined quote and order processing. The laser scanning technology reduces the need for two-person crews at a pool site, allowing builders to measure with a single technician and helping dealers process orders faster—cutting manufacturing timelines from weeks to days.

“Our partnership with Latham is a perfect example of how AI can transform industries that have long relied on manual processes,” said Alex Hawkinson, Founder and CEO of BrightAI. “By integrating our AI, Latham has been able to digitize the pool industry and replace manual processes with real-time precision. Fewer mistakes result in fewer remakes, accelerating production and improving overall efficiency. This is exactly what BrightAI was built for—bringing AI into the physical world to solve complex industry challenges and drive real business impact.”

The system has already delivered significant performance improvements, making pool manufacturing faster, more precise, and more scalable:

• 5x Faster Turnaound Times: AI automation reduces measurement time from days to minutes, improving workflow efficiency.

• Increased Accuracy & Fewer Errors: AI-driven precision eliminates costly rework and delays.

• Lower Labor Costs & Higher Productivity: Builders can measure with a single technician, rather than relying on highly paid, specialized crews.

• Seamless Manufacturing & Ordering Integration: Pool liners and covers are produced faster and more accurately, ensuring on-time delivery and installation.

“Beyond an efficiency upgrade, this is a category-defining transformation for the pool industry,” said Scott Rajeski, President and CEO of Latham Pool. “With BrightAI’s technology, we’re digitizing a process that has remained manual for decades—bringing speed, accuracy, and automation to pool manufacturing. We see a future where pool technicians no longer need a measuring tape at the job site.”

Latham plans to scale its AI-powered measurement technology across operations, modernizing the pool measurement process on an industry-wide scale. This expansion aims to set a new benchmark for precision, efficiency, and customer satisfaction in the pool industry.
