Predictive Maintenance: AI company completes second funding round

Hamburg startup ai-omatic Solutions, the developer of a digital maintenance assistant for production companies, will be able to continue to grow. The founders raised more than two million euros from an investment group in a second funding round. The financial backers include Haufe Group Ventures GmbH, which develops Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions, and 4TreeCapital, a multi-family office based in Hamburg. The innovation starter fund Hamburg GmbH has also invested in the AI company. KSB SE & Co. KGaA based in Frankenthal, a listed manufacturer of pumps and fittings, is strategic partner.

Production digitalization – a global theme

ai-omatic plans to use the capital injection to continue development of its software to simplify even further the onboarding of new customers. There will also be investment in marketing and sales to boost the startup's public profile. The growth capital is in addition intended to drive forward its internationalisation. "We are currently still directing our focus at the German market, but digitalisation with the assistance of AI in the area of production is of course a global theme," CFO Felix Kraft notes. "For that reason, it will be only a question of time before we roll out our service internationally as well." Because demand from abroad is there.

ai-omatic: USP in the area of Predictive Maintenance

ai-omatic's AI-supported maintenance assistant aims to help production companies identify abnormalities in machine data at an early stage and in this way prevent unplanned downtime. The aim is to cut maintenance costs and boost efficiency. "Our simple and standardised solution is already a USP in the area of Predictive Maintenance, as our competition often sells individual solution that have been specifically developed for each customer," ai-omatic CTO Björn Schulz explains. The startup was set up by Lena Weirauch, Felix Kraft and Dario Ramming in 2020. Their maintenance assistant is now being used by well-known companies, including the Nitto packaging concern and the SEFE energy supply company.
