Manufacturing & Logistics: How Things Get Made

Manufacturing technology, industrial design tools, construction systems and logistics software. A Cosign selection of startups, scaleups and selected public or acquired companies, listed alphabetically.

AMP
AI-powered sorting equipment and recycling facilities that recover useful materials from mixed waste.
Kent County will use its AI to pull recyclables from bagged trash before incineration—recovering materials traditional recycling misses.
Cosign
Flexport
Global trade, turned into AI-driven execution at scale.
New agents audit customs filings and optimize shipments, taking it from tracking global trade toward doing the work that keeps goods moving.
Cosign
Grip
Cold-chain fulfillment, logistics, and technology for frozen and refrigerated brands.
Its new Reno hub puts 60 million people within one-day ground shipping reach—less time for frozen food and refrigerated goods to spoil in transit.
Cosign
MVMNT
Next gen TMS built on the cloud that scales up freight brokerages
AI quoting brings automation into brokers’ inboxes, targeting the back-and-forth that stands between a shipment request and a truck on the road.
Cosign

Bevi 💧
Smart dispensers that turn tap water into personalized drinks.
New menu options reach existing dispensers, changing what people drink without adding another stream of single-use bottles.
Cosign
Formlabs
Professional 3D printing from design through finished parts.
New PreForm releases improve the path from a digital design to a usable part, making fabrication more accessible.
Cosign
Hadrian
The Future of American Production
F2 is producing parts while it pushes toward whole products, aiming to compress the journey from design to manufactured hardware.
Cosign
Nash
Logistics that thinks, acts, and gets better with every delivery.
Now connecting autonomous vehicles and drones to delivery operations, betting new fleets need software that can handle the messy reality between stops.
Cosign

Cyngn
Autonomous mobile robots for industrial material handling.
Existing customers are adding more autonomous vehicles, taking factory transport from pilot projects toward fleets that move materials without constant human driving.
Cosign
FourKites
AI-driven supply-chain operations
New inventory tools connect supply-chain signals with decisions, helping teams act before missing stock becomes a missed delivery.
Cosign
HappyRobot
AI workers that run enterprise operations and learn from every task.
DHL and Ryder already use its AI workers. The next bet is running more industrial operations, beyond the calls that coordinate freight.
Cosign
Onshape
CAD without files, versions, or waiting on updates.
AI guidance now sits inside the design workspace, taking on the expertise bottleneck between having a hardware idea and knowing how to model it.
Cosign

Doxel
Construction progress tracking, powered by jobsite video and BIM.
Pushing into Asia’s data-center buildout, where catching construction delays early can determine how quickly new computing capacity comes online.
Cosign
Freeform
Autonomous factories for metal parts, from prototyping through production.
Autonomous factories already make critical metal parts, tackling the manufacturing capacity that ambitious hardware projects need.
Cosign
ICON
Robotic construction systems, materials, and software for printed buildings.
Built barracks led to an Army contract, testing whether printed construction can deliver buildings at repeatable production scale.
Cosign
Orderful
EDI infrastructure rebuilt around a canonical API and zero mapping.
Its new European region takes standardized trade connections across the Atlantic, reducing the custom integration work needed to do business with each partner.
Cosign

First Resonance
Factory software for complex hardware manufacturing
ION Intelligence brings AI onto the shop floor, helping factories keep complex hardware builds coordinated.
Cosign
Gecko Robotics
Robotic inspections and AI for critical infrastructure decisions.
An 18-ship Navy rollout puts its inspection robots against a national bottleneck: warships stuck waiting for maintenance instead of sailing.
Cosign
Kind Designs
3D-printed coastal structures that protect shorelines while creating habitats for marine life, using designs inspired by local ecosystems.
Its latest Miami Shores installation turns flood protection into marine habitat. The next test is making living seawalls a normal coastal construction choice.
Cosign
PhysicsX
Physics AI for engineering design, simulation, and optimization.
New models are entering live engineering programs, testing whether AI can compress the slow cycle between a design and its simulation.
