Maneva

Maneva is an AI-native manufacturing technology company that develops "video-to-action" artificial intelligence designed specifically for the factory floor. Founded by a former Google DeepMind researcher, the company aims to create the "world's first thinking factory" by transforming visual data from existing cameras and off-the-shelf hardware into real-time operational insights and actions. Through its core platforms—VITA (for quality assurance and machine integrity) and ALIS (for continuous production flow and safety compliance)—Maneva helps manufacturers in industries like food and beverage, steel, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics automate complex inspections, prevent equipment downtime, and monitor worker safety without the need for expensive, custom robotics or infrastructure overhauls.
