Guidewheel raises $31M Series B to scale AI-powered FactoryOps across factory floors globally - Seite 2

“We’re thrilled to partner with Decarbonization Partners and all of our amazing investors to supercharge our growth,” added Dunford. “This financing allows us to further accelerate product development, scale our AI team, and invest even more in Customer Success to support our rapidly growing customer base. We’re one step closer to empowering the world’s ten million factories to reach sustainable peak performance.”

Guidewheel is rapidly releasing new features on top of its core platform, designed to be easy for customers and developers to build on. Recent new releases include Scout, an AI-powered predictive maintenance solution that detects early warning signs of issues before they cause downtime, quality defects, or catastrophic failure. Already, Scout is driving bottom-line impact for Guidewheel customers, including a Fortune 500 auto manufacturer who averted an issue that would have brought down a line for hours, and a manufacturer of consumer durables who was able to prevent failure of key auxiliary equipment before it caused a plant-wide shut down.

Guidewheel’s recent momentum has been marked by acquiring some of the world’s leading manufacturers as customers, including General Motors, Igloo, Kimberly Clark, JELD-WEN, DRiV/Tenneco, CEMIX, TricorBraun, Reliance Steel & Aluminum, Madison Industries, BorgWarner, U.S. Steel, Berry Global, Myers Industries, and Johnson & Johnson.

“Guidewheel requires no programming and no advanced computer knowledge, but its reports and data are sophisticated and useful,” shared Jim Campbell, CEO of Guidewheel customer Automated Solutions in North Carolina, “I don’t think another tool like this exists where remote, centralized support provides all the technical expertise required.”

“Reaching net zero starts with how we build things. We believe Guidewheel can play a critical role in global industrial decarbonization by enabling manufacturers to better track and manage energy use,” said Carmichael Roberts, Breakthrough Energy Ventures. “Guidewheel is empowering factories globally to reach sustainable peak performance, and the company’s continued growth is a testament to the technology and the team behind it.”
