Autumn Labs

tl;dr: Autumn Labs delivers a unified platform to monitor and manage modern factories. Our SDK seamlessly integrates with manufacturing systems (test stations, assembly robots, industrial arms, and manual stations) to provide real-time monitoring, control, and production data management. The result? Lower operation costs, higher product quality, and a smoother production line.

Problem - Advanced Machines, Outdated Infrastructure

The adoption of robots in manufacturing is exploding, especially to keep up with producing increasingly more complex products and shortages in skilled labor. However, the infrastructure in which these robots would be deployed is still years behind.

Without effective systems, manufacturing physical products might seem like an insurmountable black box, especially when they are made in factories on another continent where critical information is only reported via spreadsheets every other week.

But the manufacturing data is always lagging and still looks like this:

Solution - Seamless Integration, Real-time insights

Autumn Labs provides an SDK that’s easy to integrate into any robotic architecture, enabling seamless monitoring and management of machines and, ultimately, the factory in which they reside. This way, robotic integrators and developers have a standard platform where they pull and push critical data that’s specific to their machine’s tasks. Both factory operations and engineering teams are able to get actionable data they need to improve production utilizations and process quality.

A Unified Platform for Hybrid Factories:

Our platform is built for hybrid factory lines, too, allowing for seamless integration of manual human assembly stations. Factory personnel can now get a holistic view of your factory's performance—robotic or not.

With Autumn Labs, you can track, triage, and push fixes for:

1. Robotic assembly stations/cells
2. Automated test stations
3. Palletizing robots
4. Manual assembly stations

Traction - Real Results, Real Impact:

Autumn Labs is already monitoring and managing 50+ automated factory stations in 4 different consumer electronics factory lines across multiple companies and contract manufacturers. There’s a good chance that a product you use today has gone through our platform.

Why our customers love us:

1. Clear insights into Manufacturing Value Added (MVA) costs
2. Increased machine utilization
3. Rapid improvements in production quality
4. Enhanced product development cycles

Meet the Founders

We’re Sam, Harsh, and Prathik — Mechatronics engineers from the University of Waterloo with decades of combined experience at Apple (iPhone), Google (Nest), and Meta (Oculus). After countless sleepless nights fixing robotic assembly lines and test stations, we decided it was time to create the ultimate tool for manufacturing. We’re building the solution we wish we had back then.
