The funding brings Guidewheel closer to its vision of empowering all factories to reach sustainable peak performance. While the world’s most giant factories use complicated systems to optimize efficiency, small and midsize manufacturers often mix the different machine makes models and ages with information in silos that don’t connect. It leaves teams to struggle with manual data entry and bring out fires. Manufacturers commonly lose more than 20 percent of production time as a result, at the cost of over $3 trillion in waste each year.

Mark Terbeek, Partner at Greycroft, said Guidewheel had built the real-time data platform we believe will help create manufacturing. It is a straightforward yet powerful platform that comes when factory performance is critical to survival for manufacturers and the supply chain overall.

Actively learning system delegate teams to diminish lost production time, increase output, and improve over time. As a result, groups can lengthen and progress at their own pace—the more they use Guidewheel, the more they get out of it.
