What Toggle does

Toggle Industries, Inc. is a US-based construction technology company founded in 2016 that has pivoted from building physical robotics for rebar assembly into delivering a software-led inline quality control platform for fabrication shops. The company's Toggle QC platform uses structured light scanning and computer vision to verify every fabricated part during production — confirming feature presence, location, and dimensions against a CAD library and providing pass/fail output with quantified deviation metrics. The system is sold as four independently deployable modules (Feature Verification, RLS Rebar Localization, Calibration Assistant, Junction Detection) that can also be stacked into a full inline QC deployment.

Toggle serves three primary customer segments: cut and bend OEMs (integrating 3D vision into machines for calibration and QC), rebar fabricators (verifying every bar before it leaves the shop to defend against backcharges), and CNC/custom fabricators (dimensional QC across wood, metal, glass, and concrete). The company is headquartered in New York City with an additional office in Zurich and operations historically anchored in the Northeast US / Pennsylvania region.

Toggle generates revenue through an enterprise subscription model with quote-based pricing and a demo-driven sales motion. The company has raised approximately $15 million cumulatively across seed, Series A, and Series A extension rounds, with strategic investors including Tokyu Construction and Global Brain positioned to support international expansion into Japan and beyond. The company operates as Toggle Industries, Inc. with DBA brands Toggle Robotics and Toggle Construction, and is led by co-founders Daniel Blank (CEO) and Ian Cohen (COO).

Revenue model

1. Toggle QC Platform: Toggle generates revenue through the sale of its QC platform that verifies parts in production. The platform includes four modules (Feature Verification, RLS Rebar Localization, Calibration Assistant, Junction Detection) that can be deployed independently or as a full stack. Revenue comes from software and potentially hardware components for inline scanning and verification.

Core offering

Toggle sells Toggle QC, an automated quality control platform that uses structured light scanning and computer vision to verify fabricated parts inline during production. The platform confirms feature presence, location, and dimensions (holes, slots, angles, labels) on parts made from rebar, wood, metal, glass, and concrete, and is deployed at cut-and-bend OEMs, rebar fabrication shops, and CNC/custom fabrication shops to catch defects before parts ship downstream.

Product overview

Toggle offers Toggle QC, a modular quality control platform for custom fabricators. The platform consists of a core system (Toggle QC) that verifies fabricated parts during production using structured light scanning, deployable as independent modules or as a full stack. The four core modules include: Feature Verification (Module 01) for confirming feature presence and dimensions; RLS — Rebar Localization (Module 02) for 3D sensing and geometry verification in rebar shops; Calibration Assistant (Module 03) for calibrating cut-and-bend lines; and Junction Detection (Module 04) for mapping assembly intersections to enable robotic operations. Solution briefs are available for OEMs (cut and bend integration), fabricators (inline rebar verification), and CNC/custom fabricators (dimensional QC and feature inspection).

Direct peers

• Creaform: Creaform makes portable 3D scanners and metrology solutions for industrial inspection. Its structured-light and laser scanning products target the same shop-floor dimensional QC use case that Toggle QC addresses, making it a direct technology and use-case comparable.
• Built Robotics: Built Robotics develops automation technology for construction equipment and job sites, targeting the same construction automation buyer that Toggle's robotics and rebar-fabrication modules historically addressed. Both companies pursue technology-driven productivity gains in construction and fabrication.
• Dusty Robotics: Dusty Robotics builds construction robotics for layout and field automation. It shares Toggle's end market (construction and fabrication) and similar customer base of contractors and specialty trades, making it a comparable in the construction robotics category.
• Canvas: Canvas develops construction robotics for drywall finishing, addressing productivity on job sites. While focused on a different trade, it competes in the same construction robotics category and targets similar construction-industry buyers as Toggle.
• Advanced Construction Robotics: Advanced Construction Robotics builds robots for rebar tying and placement, directly overlapping with Toggle's original rebar assembly thesis. Both companies pursue automation of rebar and structural reinforcement tasks in construction.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence: Hexagon is one of the global leaders in industrial metrology and quality inspection, explicitly named by Toggle as the high-end incumbent it positions against. Both companies serve fabrication and manufacturing customers needing dimensional QC, though Hexagon operates across a much broader portfolio.
• ZEISS Industrial Metrology: ZEISS is the other high-end metrology incumbent explicitly cited by Toggle in its positioning. It sells lab-grade coordinate measuring machines and inspection systems to manufacturers and fabricators, overlapping with Toggle at the upper end of the dimensional QC market.
• Cognex: Cognex is a major machine vision and industrial barcode reading company that serves factory automation customers, including dimensional inspection applications. Its vision-based QC systems overlap directly with Toggle's structured-light approach at industrial fabricator customers.
• Keyence: Keyence is a global factory automation leader with machine vision, sensors, and measurement systems. Its dimensional inspection products compete for the same fabrication and CNC shop QC budget that Toggle targets.

Emerging players

• Rebartek: Rebartek is an emerging player automating rebar production and prefabrication. Its focus on robotic rebar handling overlaps with the customer base Toggle serves through its RLS rebar localization and QC modules.
