Top Industrial Automation Startups in 2024

Memfault is the first IoT reliability platform that empowers teams to build more robust devices with software at scale. We believe that device reliability engineering will transform how developers build and operate IoT and edge devices with more productivity and more collaboration. As IoT applications continue to grow in complexity, it is more important than ever for developers to have Memfault’s performance monitoring, device debugging, and OTA update capabilities built into their fleet of devices for proactive device operations. We built Memfault to enable developers with a more scalable and sustainable process to accelerate go-to-market, de-risk product launches, cut product costs, and deliver overall superior products. Memfault is founded by ex-Fitbit, Pebble, and Oculus engineers who know the industry well and have been wrestling with these problems for 15+ years.

bluerivert.com We use computer vision to identify weeds in organic crop fields and then selectively eliminate them using very hot organic oil. Our product mounts behind a tractor. We are an alternative to chemical fertilizers which organic farmers can't use. Our first target is organic vegetables growers who currently spend upto $1000 per acre to weed their fields by hand. Longer term will move to weeding of corn in glyphosate resistant areas. $25B/yr are spent in herbicides. Update: 5/13. We've started recurring revenue in lettuce thinning - an application that is very well suited to our technology. Our first customer is the largest lettuce grower in the world. Out team has now 15 people including 4 PhDs, an agronomist, and experienced business people in the Ag-tech area.

Ark is developing novel cultivated meat infrastructure to unlock cultivated meat production at scale. We develop massive bioreactors and advanced automation technologies (e.g., digital twins) to enable previously unimaginable scale at a fraction of the cost of legacy solutions.

The team at Pattern is leveraging our experience building sophisticated autonomous robots to address pressing industrial applications. Our robots operate both indoors and outdoors, around people and vehicles. We're riding the sweet spot between cutting-edge r&d and actual solution scaling. Our goal is to build the most capable autonomy systems for the most challenging unstructured environments in the solar system by quickly scaling, learning, and delivering real value by solving stepping stone applications immediately. We can do this because we love the thrill of adventure and exploration. The thrill of being pioneers. It's partly our Colorado roots, beckoning us to go faster/bigger/further than anyone before. We have mountains to climb! (figuratively & literally) .

Peer Robotics is a collaborative mobile robotics company building simple and cost-effective solutions for small and medium-scale manufacturers.

We build process management and automation software for some of the largest companies operating in additive manufacturing/3D printing, backed by data.
