Procense, a San Francisco-based industrial automation startup, secured $1.5 million in seed funding. Kevin Mahaffey and HighSage Ventures led this round. The capital will accelerate the development of its AI-native manufacturing platform.
The company leverages IoT sensors to digitize processes and automate real-time data collection for manufacturers. Furthermore, its platform automates process optimization and adapts to unique facility workflows. This system replaces manual configuration with intelligent software agents.
Advancing Industrial AI Solutions
Procense's technology includes LLM-powered tools for digitizing paper processes. It also features AI-driven customization engines for seamless integration and workflow setup. Real-time process engineering agents identify inefficiencies, driving continuous optimization.
The company helps manufacturers modernize production and quality data management. For instance, Dr. Squatch implemented Procense's platform, achieving 10% faster cycle times per batch.
This industrial automation technology addresses labor constraints and rising production costs. While established players like Siemens and Rockwell Automation offer solutions, Procense focuses on its AI-native platform. The company's AI-powered software enables manufacturers to embrace digital transformation by integrating IoT sensors.
