San Francisco-based Bright Machines, an innovator in AI-driven manufacturing automation, has announced the successful completion of its Series C funding round, raising $106 million. This round saw participation from notable investors including Nvidia, Microsoft, Eclipse Ventures, Jabil, and BlackRock. In addition, the company secured $20 million in debt financing from J.P. Morgan.
Bright Machines specializes in creating advanced equipment and software that utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate various manufacturing tasks. The new funds will primarily be used to enhance the company’s engineering capabilities, focusing on advancements in robotics, computer vision, and automation technologies.
CEO Lior Susan highlighted the significance of this investment in accelerating the development of a more efficient version of their platform. “Our goal is to enable engineers to design products within the Bright Machines environment and manufacture them with the push of a button using a robotic system located remotely,” Susan explained.
A key application of Bright Machines’ technology is in the production of AI server hardware. This sector is rapidly expanding due to the increasing demand for AI capabilities. The company’s automation tools can significantly reduce the manufacturing time for these servers, potentially saving weeks or even months. “Providing Nvidia with a faster method to introduce new products translates into significant value in the AI industry,” Susan noted.
Bright Machines is also making strides in the broader electronics manufacturing sector, with its technology being used to produce items such as mobile phones. The startup’s ability to streamline production processes has attracted considerable interest from leading technology companies, positioning it as a key player in the future of intelligent manufacturing.
With the substantial backing from this latest funding round, Bright Machines is poised to advance its technology and expand its operations, continuing its mission to transform manufacturing through innovative automation solutions.
