Our take
Engineering management is a slow and painstaking process. Axion Ray leverages data to solve this problem, and to help engineering leaders make better decisions.
Axion's focus on R&D acceleration and optimization has proven widely popular in the engineering world. The company counts some of the largest automotive and aerospace companies in the world among its partners, including Boeing and the US Air Force. Axion's AI is also geared toward risk management and metadata mining, which is a key draw for enterprise-scale clients.
Axion is active within an extremely competitive and high stakes industry. However, its potent technology and valuable partnerships is clear testament to the company's staying power.
