Our take
The demands for manufacturing output and the need for better efficiency are being felt stronger than ever in today's economy. This is particularly true in the pharmaceutical manufacturing space, where there is an unparalleled demand for production - on a scale that is currently being unmet.
To address this growing problem, Basetwo has developed the first no-code platform designed specifically for manufacturing. The platform allows engineers to easily build and deploy their manufacturing plans through the use of machine learning models, or "digital twins", of production machines.
Founded in 2022, the company is still relatively young, but the considerable funding it has raised is very promising. With this, the company will work to bring the same AI optimization that has been deployed across consumer use cases to the complex pharma and chemical manufacturing space.
