Bright Machines is a startup located in San Fransisco, and it works to put smart automation into manufacturing. The company has released a product titled, Software Defined Microfactory and it is a system of hardware and software that works togother. The company states that the system packages robotics, computer vision, machine handling as well as converged systems to inform factories on how to build.
The company focuses on assembly lines, where manufacturers build products. The company does this because they would like to provide automation to places in factories that often do not have automation. The company notes that manufacturers often put human workers on assembly lines to deal with intricate details. However, Bright Machines looks to add automation and technology to these areas.
