Company mission

To build the world's most efficient and reliable factories for precision parts.

Our take

Computerised Numerical Control, otherwise known as CNC, is the manufacturing process whereby pre-programmed software controls equipment and machinery. Though this automated method is supposed to remove reliance on manual labour, it often results in more work when it comes to manufacturing precision items, especially in smaller batches. This is because production robots need to be reprogrammed and configured.

Daedalus is trying to fix this problem by building AI-powered autonomous factories which, crucially, can be quickly and easily reconfigured to meet changing product demands – essentially bringing the efficiency of mass production to high-mix manufacturing.

Having emerged from Y Combinator, the 2019-founded startup has quickly caught the attention of investors, and has opened up operations in the USA as well as in its native Germany. Indeed, it's planning to go global in the not-too-distant future by expanding into Asia, where the industrial robotics industry is undergoing huge growth.
