Otta's take

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Industrial production hasn't seen that many breakthrough innovations in the past decades (after centuries of innovation). Multi-step production lines are particularly complex, where in the past, humans have been required to do a lot of the thinking to piece together the steps. Flexciton has built the AI to learn from a factory’s data and understand how the factory works to rapidly speed up this process.

The difference between an OK-planned factory and an optimally-planned factory is huge. Flexciton's advanced software now has the data to suggest the optimal options when planning a production line, scheduling work through its own equipment. Through this, the company provides the fastest solutions for manufacturing problems at an accuracy above other solution providers.

Flexciton plans to use recent investment to hire more talent in order to have the capacity to service a higher customer base. The company is also looking to invest development into related areas, such as sectors in aerospace or chemicals.
