For founders using machine intelligence, IoT, cloud computing, robotics, 3D printing, new materials, and novel approaches to workforce augmentation to solve problems in manufacturing.
DeepSight is an all-in-one learning management platform that enables training managers and consultants to create and document self-contained augmented reality training and troubleshooting modules using DS Studio. Rather than bringing in expensive specialists and interrupting production, DeepSight gives manufacturers and their customers the training and knowledge they need to solve problems in-house.
AlphaOne Robotics is a robotics company building the Sigma Unloader – a fully integrated hardware and software solution designed to improve container and truck unloading operations in the parcel, retail, and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industries. Their vertical solution incorporates a mobile chassis with an industrial robot manipulator, a multi-axis compliant gripper, and an articulating conveyor controlled by custom control and perception software that implements a comprehensive robotic unloading line designed to increase throughput, reduce cost, and handle a wide variety of product and challenging real-world conditions.
Easemble is a digital manual platform-as-a-service that creates interactive 3D assembly guides for manufacturers to help end customers assemble their products, collect pictures, host reviews, and improve the end-customer experience.
Maneva is an AI SaaS company creating a solution for autonomous factory operation and optimization in manufacturing. Their solution uses off-the-shelf hardware or existing vision systems to monitor production, identify improvements, and implement optimizations to bring manufacturers real-time alerts and actions that improves operational efficiency.
Syenta transforms semiconductor manufacturing with its Localized Electrochemical Modeling (LEM) technology. LEM speeds up advanced packaging production up to 100 times, reducing steps by 60% and lowering emissions and costs. Targeting legacy fabs and emerging packaging houses, Syenta aims to be a key supplier in the advanced packaging market.
Saphira aims to streamline safety certifications for complex hardware by automating safety consulting via standards understanding, data management, and certification preparation. Saphira makes it easier to build hardware by creating a simple tool that allows for requirements, testing, and reporting data for hardware compliance for companies to exist in one place, allowing engineers to develop products faster by eliminating compliance bottlenecks.
Quarter20 unifies siloed hardware teams through connected documentation. With Quarter20, documentation is automatically created from engineering inputs, like CAD (computer aided design), and connects previously siloed documents, such as assembly instructions, BOM, and test plans, powered by a single database. The first product auto-generates assembly instructions from a CAD file, enabling always up-to-date screenshots and data.
Ocean (formerly Eco-Shelter Inc.) connects the built world through simply smarter products and materials. They start with the needs of consumers in emerging markets (3 billion people) and develop these as desirable building products globally. Their flagship product is a structural bamboo-based panel with versatile building applications. From lifesaving “cool roofs” in India to prefabricated energy-efficient wall assemblies for US affordable housing. To date, the company has been awarded nearly $2M USD of non-dilutive capital, including $1.8M USD of federal awards from the National Science Foundation to develop its highly scalable technology and manufacturing process.
Phantasma Labs is a software computing company developing AI models for the creation of operating plans within the manufacturing sector. Their plans are generated up to 200 times faster than competing solutions, enabling factories to maintain their agility in the face of rapidly changing environments. Phantasma Labs helps keep production downtime to a minimum and makes manufacturers more resilient to regular and black swan events.
