Our take

Global supply chain constraints have only accentuated the pressure on manufacturing shop floor managers to avoid every possible minute of downtime. That pressure to avoid losing money has driven demand for real-time analytics of manufacturing machinery, which Amper hopes to help with.

Amper’s IoT technology enables a self-installed industrial monitoring solution for manufacturing managers. The company prioritizes ease-of-use for its customers, allowing them to set up their devices in minutes and monitor their machines from an intuitive dashboard. The vision for the startup is to go beyond the monitoring of relatively basic machinery metrics and build out a holistic IoT-based ‘FactoryOS’.

The challenge for the startup will be competing in a crowded IoT market. Having said that, its proven ability to quickly adjust its strategy has helped it gain solid funding. The fact that Amper's technology shifts to fit the real needs of its customers will surely stand it in good stead as it expands its horizons.
