What juna.ai does

Juna AI is a Berlin-based industrial AI software company building the Agentic Factory OS, an AI platform that autonomously plans, steers, and improves complex industrial production processes for heavy-industry manufacturers. The platform combines physics-informed digital twins (heat and mass transfer models) with reinforcement learning agents operating on a shared orchestration layer, unifying fragmented factory data from sensors, MES, ERP, historians, and PLCs into a Factory Graph and Knowledge Graph semantic layer. Three production agents - Production Scheduling, Process Engineering, and Resource Intelligence - run persistently in customer plants to optimize schedules, process parameters, and resource consumption in real time, complemented by Factory Chat (natural language interface) and Agent Builder (self-service agent deployment).

The company sells through an enterprise field-sales motion targeting complex manufacturers across at least eight verticals: chemicals, food and beverage, cement, pulp and paper, glass, pharma, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing. Revenue is generated via enterprise subscriptions, with deployments running on isolated servers hosted in Germany under ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance. Named customers include Deutsche Gasrußwerke (DGW, carbon black), a leading European dairy manufacturer, Froneri, Phoenix, Currenta, and Eratex, with reported customer outcomes including a €5.3M/year contribution margin uplift at DGW and €1.5M/year profit increase at the dairy account. Pre-built data connectors span SAP, Siemens, AVEVA, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, OSIsoft PI, OPC UA, and MQTT.

Juna AI was founded in 2022 by Matthias Auf der Mauer (previously founder and CEO of AiSight, acquired by a Swiss sensor company) and Christian Graf von Hardenberg (previously CTO of Delivery Hero, Rocket Internet, and Metaversum). The company emerged from stealth in November 2024 alongside a $7.5M seed round led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from Norrsken VC and angels including John Doerr. Since then it has been recognized by Gartner (Innovation Guide for AI Agents, January 2026; Hype Cycle for Discrete Manufacturing Technologies, 2025) and Forbes (Cloud 100 Rising Stars, 2025), and formally launched the Agentic Factory OS in March 2026.

Core offering

Juna AI sells its Agentic Factory OS, an enterprise AI software platform that orchestrates autonomous AI agents to plan, steer, and continuously improve industrial production processes. The platform deploys specialized agents for production scheduling, process parameter optimization, and resource consumption monitoring, combining physics-informed digital twins with reinforcement learning and integrating natively with ERP, MES, historians, and PLC systems. It is sold to enterprise manufacturers in heavy industries such as cement, chemicals, food and beverage, pulp and paper, glass, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing on a subscription basis with isolated server deployment in Germany.

Product overview

Juna AI offers the Agentic Factory OS as its core AI platform for industrial production, which serves as a unified operating layer that orchestrates multiple specialized AI agents. The platform includes three purpose-built production agents: the Production Scheduling Agent for optimal production planning, the Process Engineering Agent for continuous process parameter optimization, and the Resource Intelligence Agent for real-time resource monitoring. These agents operate as persistent, always-on copilots that proactively optimize, alert, and act. The platform also features an Agent Builder for custom agent deployment and Factory Chat for natural language interaction with production data.

Direct peers

• C3.ai: C3.ai is an enterprise AI platform that targets process manufacturing and heavy industry with applications for production optimization, energy management, and asset performance. Like Juna AI, it sells subscription AI software to industrial operators, but C3.ai operates more as a horizontal enterprise AI suite rather than vertical-specific physics-plus-RL agents.
• Sight Machine: Sight Machine is an AI/analytics platform purpose-built for discrete and process manufacturing, integrating with PLC, MES, and historian data to deliver real-time production optimization. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Juna AI in the manufacturing AI agent space, particularly in food & beverage and consumer goods.
• Braincube: Braincube is an industrial AI platform focused on process manufacturing verticals (chemicals, paper, packaging, food) and provides production optimization and digital twin capabilities. It overlaps with Juna AI's core verticals and physics-informed modeling approach, making it a direct peer for process manufacturers evaluating AI optimization platforms.
• Uptake: Uptake is an industrial AI company that provides asset performance and process optimization software for sectors including manufacturing, energy, and rail. Like Juna AI, it ingests sensor and operational data to drive production and reliability outcomes, though historically it has been stronger in asset-heavy industries than in continuous-process recipe optimization.
• SparkCognition: SparkCognition delivers industrial AI solutions including process optimization, predictive maintenance, and computer vision for manufacturing and energy customers. It targets similar enterprise buyers and overlaps with Juna AI on process manufacturing use cases, though its portfolio is broader and more asset-centric.
• Augury: Augury is an AI-driven process and asset health platform for manufacturing, combining sensor data with AI models to detect anomalies and optimize production. It serves a similar enterprise manufacturing buyer and overlaps with Juna AI's Resource Intelligence and Process Engineering Agents, though Augury's strength is more vibration/sensor-based.

Emerging players

• Falkonry: Falkonry provides AI-based anomaly detection and predictive analytics for industrial operations, used by process manufacturers to identify production issues in real time. It overlaps with Juna AI's anomaly detection and process engineering capabilities but is more narrowly focused on time-series pattern recognition rather than full agentic process control.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens (Xcelerator / Industrial Edge): Siemens is the dominant industrial automation incumbent whose PLCs, SCADA, MES, and industrial AI portfolio Juna AI integrates with via Siemens connectors. Siemens is both a partner and a competitive threat because it can bundle AI-driven optimization into its existing enterprise agreements at the same customers Juna AI targets.
• Honeywell Forge: Honeywell Forge is Honeywell's industrial AI and analytics platform for process manufacturers in chemicals, refining, and pulp & paper. It serves overlapping customers and use cases as Juna AI, particularly in process optimization and energy management, but as part of a much broader enterprise software portfolio.
• AVEVA: AVEVA is an industrial software platform serving process and infrastructure industries with PI System historians, MES, and increasingly AI-driven optimization. Juna AI integrates natively with AVEVA's stack and competes with it for the same optimization budget at shared customers, making AVEVA both an integration partner and a broad incumbent competitor.
