The company offers personalized AI agents that help operators make optimal machine settings, incorporating data from sensors for parameters such as temperature, pressure and product quality. This allows industries to reduce waste and improve operations without necessarily reducing human resources.
With a $7.5 million investment from Kleiner Perkins and Norrsken VC, Juna.ai plans to double its technical team. It is also developing pre-built agents that adapt faster to new customers, while maintaining high levels of security and data protection within Germany.
