Our take
The manufacturing industry is growing increasingly complex, with companies juggling large inventories, multiple suppliers, and intricate supply chains. Founded in 2017, CADDi is using AI to make manufacturing smarter and more efficient, turning scattered design and supply chain data into actionable insights for industries from automotive to robotics.

And companies like Subaru and DENSO have reported major time saving and faster sourcing, showing just how transformative CADDi's AI really is.
