Benefits of Business Automation

Business automation leads to: Increased Efficiency and Productivity: Automating repetitive tasks will save time and reduce errors, allowing employees to focus on more complex and valuable tasks. Some of the startups are as follows.

Basetwo AI

Basetwo AI provides TwinOps platform to use digital twins in manufacturing. The startup’s low-code, drag-and-drop interface allows users to easily integrate multiple data sources, clean ingested data, as well as deploy and monitor models. It also allows engineers to share model results on existing dashboards for easier collaboration and visualization of insights across teams. These models improve the productivity, quality, and efficiency of biopharmaceuticals, active ingredients, chemicals, food, and beverage manufacturing. The platform enables easier model-driven decision-making for engineering teams to rapidly build, test, and operationalize digital twins while saving manufacturing resources.

MOLG

MOLG is a startup that develops circular manufacturing solutions for electronic products. It uses AI and robotics to operate autonomous micro-factories that assemble and disassemble products using computable bi-directional commands. MOLG’s software plug-in for computer-aided design (CAD) tools interprets and integrates these commands into the regular product design workflow. MOLG’s technology enables companies to recover and reuse valuable components as well as create new business models based on product-as-a-service or localized production. This makes it easier for companies to adopt circular manufacturing without completely overhauling their existing manufacturing processes.

SAEKI Robotics

SAEKI Robotics is a startup that offers a robotic digital manufacturing robot for large-scale components. The robot combines 3D printing, milling, post-processing, and 3D scanning in one solution. The startup provides the full hardware and software automation stack, including a high-performance extruder that handles a wide range of polymers with fiber content. The extruder uses fused granulate manufacturing (FGM) to build parts fast and with minimal material waste. SAEKI Robotics also provides control and design software that streamlines the design-to-part process and reduces time waste. The startup’s RDM robot is easy to use and adaptable to any project, empowering companies for on-demand, cost-effective, and sustainable production.

Cognivix

Cognivix provides Fieldview, a robotics automation system. It utilizes AI and optical sensing to enable industrial robots to recognize and pick up new objects with precision. The system is suitable for both high and low-volume production environments, where traditional automation solutions are not practical or cost-effective. Fieldview thus streamlines the process of training robots to handle new tasks and offers an automated way to transition from engineering to production. The startup’s automation system is also compatible with leading robot brands and is available as an annual subscription per robot. Cognivix’s technology improves productivity and efficiency while reducing manufacturing costs and downtime for companies that rely on plastic or metal components.

Xaba

Xaba develops xCognition, a manufacturing platform that utilizes AI to control industrial robots. It integrates an industrial PC with an industrial robot’s electrical cabinet. The platform works with both old and new robotic systems as well as is easy to deploy and integrate with existing systems. The artificial neural network software controls the motion of each robot joint and axes, resulting in a significant increase in the accuracy, repeatability, and consistency of robotic work cells. Xaba’s platform allows companies to improve the manufacturing performance of expensive CNC machines with their existing commercial robotics systems, at a fraction of the cost.

Amnovis

Amnovis provides additive manufacturing for the production of high-end products in industrial applications. The startup integrates the AM process with digital process automation to deliver efficient solutions for medical and industrial markets. Amnovis leverages metals such as titanium and copper for 3D printing industrial components. This ensures high conductivity, strength, and biocompatibility for various applications. Amnovis also uses plastic stereolithography for specific applications such as manufacturing surgical guides. The startup helps companies to streamline and optimize production, reduce lead times, and decrease costs while maintaining product quality and consistency.

Synsor.ai

Synsor.ai is a startup that provides AI-based quality control for manufacturers. The startup utilizes cameras to capture images of products in batch production processes and analyzes them for anomalies using deep learning. The AI then uses computer vision to detect visual defects, predict potential defects before they happen, and identify the root causes of process instabilities. Synsor.ai’s solution is a low-cost means to help manufacturers improve their quality control processes and reduce the risk of defective products reaching
