Software Defined Automation, a Boston, MA-based innovator turning factories into software systems, raised $10M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Insight Partners, with participation from Baukunst VC, Fly Ventures, and First Momentum. As part of the transaction, Jon Rosenbaum, Managing Director at Insight Partners and Axel Bichara, Co-Founder and General Partner at Baukunst, will join Software Defined Automation’s Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to scale customer adoption and extend its solution portfolio.
Software Defined Automation innovates factory automation with an Industrial-Control-as-a-Service offering. Industrial-Control-as-a-Service (ICaaS) is centered around cloud-based management of existing PLCs (TechOps), Git-enabled PLC code versioning and collaboration (DevOps), as well as virtualization of PLCs on edge servers (Virtual PLC). In combination, these technologies can break down proprietary silos in control technology stacks and enable API-based modern microservices architecture.
The company has offices in Boston, US and Munich, Germany.
