Amper Technologies
Amper Technologies is a Chicago-based industrial IoT company that helps manufacturers see and improve what happens on their shop floors in real time. Its FactoryOS platform pairs non-invasive sensors that clip onto any machine - regardless of age or brand and install in about ten minutes - with AI-driven analytics that track machine utilization, OEE, downtime, labor and job performance. Founded in 2016, Amper turns legacy factory equipment into a source of live production data without expensive retrofits or complex IT integrations, and was acquired by ECI Software Solutions in December 2025.
Cogniac Corporation
Cogniac Corporation is a Silicon Valley company building an enterprise-grade, no-code computer vision platform that lets non-experts train and deploy AI models on visual data. Founded in 2015 by Ruckus Wireless veteran Bill Kish and Amy Wang, Cogniac turns cameras and images into operational insight - inspecting products, detecting defects, monitoring safety, and automating document handling across manufacturing, transportation, automotive, government, and logistics. Backed by roughly $46M from investors including National Grid Partners, Cisco Investments, and Autotech Ventures, it counts BNSF Railway, Ford, Georgia-Pacific, Doosan Bobcat, and Trimac among its customers.
SiteWorx
SiteWorx is a cloud-based energy and facility management platform for industrial and commercial buildings. Built on a foundation of intelligent lighting controls, it unifies sensors, metering, and third-party systems to give operators real-time visibility into water, air/HVAC, gas/steam, and energy/lighting (WAGE) so they can cut waste and reduce operating costs. The platform is the continuation of Digital Lumens' connected-lighting technology, now owned and developed by SiteWorx Software after acquiring the assets in 2023.
Applied Brain Research
Applied Brain Research (ABR) is a Waterloo, Ontario AI hardware company spun out of the University of Waterloo's Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience. It builds brain-inspired chips and software that run real-time AI - full-vocabulary speech recognition, text-to-speech and sensor processing - directly on edge devices at power levels measured in milliwatts. Its patented state-space models and the Legendre Memory Unit power the TSP1 Time Series Processor, which ABR calls the world's first single-chip solution for full-vocabulary speech recognition, doing the work of cloud voice AI while consuming 10 to 100 times less power.
ThroughPut.ai
ThroughPut.ai is a Silicon Valley-based supply chain decision intelligence company that turns time-stamped operational data into fast, profit-focused decisions.
