🚨 Most factories run less than 3,000 production hours per year.

That's only 35% utilization.

While manufacturers strive to increase utilization and efficiency, there are a couple big constraints:
👷‍♂️ Manual Labor (hard to find and 30% turnover per month)
💰 Insufficient Budget for automation, technology, and skilled workers

Low utilization is rarely tied to low demand, especially with fast-moving consumer goods.

The challenge is actually the supply chain and production line.

In the episode below of The Manufacturing Executive with Joe Sullivan and Saman Farid, they discuss the productivity challenges and how Robots-as-a-Service is the only outcome-based approach that addresses all barriers.

Exciting news! We’ve increased our Series A financing to $53.9M!

On the heels of recently surpassing 100,000 fleet production hours and more than 1.2 billion products packed and stacked by our Robots-as-a-Service automation equipment, this additional round adds $27.4M in financing to continue scaling the easiest and most reliable way for US manufacturers to deploy automation and unlock greater production capacity across the supply chain.

The new investments from Blackhorn Ventures, Mitsubishi HC Capital America, Inc., NEC and Translink Orchestrating Future Fund, Alumni Ventures, FJ Labs, and additional investments from Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, and Lorimer Ventures allow us to double down on our strategy to bring more Pay-for-Productivity automation to US manufacturers by: 
- Expanding our fleet of standardized automation solutions
- Increasing our network of support and service people across the U.S.
- Enhancing our equipment-agnostic software offering that includes AI-based motion planning, predictive maintenance, system design suite, and more intuitive customer interfaces and dashboards

A huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. This milestone is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and hard work of our incredible team, as well as the trust and support of our customers and investors. 

Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as we embark on this next phase of our adventure!
