Our take
Given the current manufacturing market dynamics, the demand for Elementary's AI machine vision platform for quality and inspection in manufacturing has been overwhelming. Traditionally, robotics have been built on rigid programming. However, modern advances in computer vision have allowed companies like Elementary to develop intelligent robot assistants built on AI and computer vision input.
As the world has shifted to requiring automated solutions to address labor constraints, Elementary's customers have needed automated inspection solutions to keep pace with their quality goals.
To further support customers, Elementary partners with companies like Rapid Robotics, which helps manufacturers solve their labor shortages with its ready-to-work Rapid Machine Operator. Elementary plans to expand operations internationally and continue to recruit top talent to stay on top of the competition.
