Adam Gluck is the CEO and co-founder of Copia Automation, a New York startup bringing Git-based source control and DevOps practices to the world of industrial controls and PLC programming. A former staff software engineer at Uber, where he was a founding member of the Engineering Strategy team and helped design DOMA, Uber's microservice architecture, Gluck set out to give the engineers who program factory floors the same modern tooling that software teams take for granted. He co-founded Copia with Matthew Lee, raised over $16 million from investors including Lux Capital and Construct Capital, and was named to the 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Manufacturing and Industry.
Copia Automation brings modern software practices - Git-based version control, automated backup, code review, and AI-assisted analysis - to the world of industrial automation. Its platform treats PLC and OT code as a critical asset, giving manufacturers visibility, change tracking, and disaster recovery across multi-vendor factory floors. Founded in New York in 2020 by former Uber engineer Adam Gluck, Copia helps plants protect against downtime, ransomware, and lost institutional knowledge while accelerating how industrial machinery is built and maintained.
