What Valiot does

Valiot Inc. is a privately held B2B SaaS company headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2017 to deliver AI-powered software for smart manufacturing and supply chain optimization. The company sells two core products: FactoryOS, which digitizes shop floor operations by ingesting real-time data from PLCs, IoT sensors, IoT platforms, drivers, and administrative back-office systems, then running AI simulations to optimize machine performance, define control setpoints, and reduce human decision points; and ValueChainOS, which applies machine learning to forecast demand, inventories, and factory conditions, and autonomously reschedules production sequencing when conditions deviate from optimal. Both products are built on a proprietary combination of AI algorithms and System Dynamics methodology and are designed to be deployed in any manufacturing facility without requiring equipment replacement.

The company targets forward-thinking enterprise manufacturers globally, with a named customer base that includes Heineken, Coca-Cola FEMSA, Coca-Cola Andina, Coca-Cola Solar, Metalsa, Bafar, Prolamsa, Ragasa, Samtec, Zedmex, and Lamosa across beverage, automotive, food, and industrial manufacturing verticals. Valiot monetizes through enterprise SaaS subscriptions with negotiated multi-year contracts, supplemented by professional services for implementation and ongoing support, sold via a direct enterprise field sales motion and a formalized partner program for integrators and consultants. The company maintains a US and Latin American office footprint spanning Austin, Roanoke, Chicago, and at least seven Mexican cities, has cumulatively raised approximately $11M+ across SEC-exempt offerings and a January 2025 corporate-led round anchored by FEMSA Ventures, and is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.

Core offering

Valiot provides AI-powered software for smart manufacturing, consisting of two core products: FactoryOS, which digitizes shop floor operations by integrating with PLCs, IoT sensors, and administrative systems to run real-time simulations that optimize machine performance and reduce human decision points; and ValueChainOS, which uses AI to connect and optimize the complete value chain with adaptive production scheduling, demand forecasting, and autonomous rescheduling when conditions change. The platform enables manufacturers to maximize output, alleviate bottlenecks, and transition to autonomous operations without dismantling existing infrastructure.

Product overview

Valiot offers a unified AI-powered smart manufacturing platform consisting of two core products: FactoryOS for shop floor operations digitization and optimization, and ValueChainOS for end-to-end value chain planning and scheduling. Both products leverage AI algorithms and real-time data processing to help manufacturers maximize output, reduce bottlenecks, and enable autonomous operations without dismantling existing infrastructure.

Brands

• FactoryOS: AI-powered smart manufacturing platform that digitizes factory operations and enables predictive analytics. Couples AI with IoT to enhance operations through real-time data, eliminate hidden factory pains, and reduce human dependency.
• ValueChainOS

Products and services

• FactoryOS AI-powered smart manufacturing platform that couples AI with IoT to digitize factory operations. Gathers real-time data from PLCs, drivers, IoT sensors, and administrative systems, then runs simulations to identify optimal machine operation methods, define control setpoints, and reduce human dependency. Designed for plant managers and operators at manufacturing enterprises seeking to maximize output within existing infrastructure.
• ValueChainOS AI-powered value chain optimization system that connects and forecasts the complete value chain including demand, inventories, and factory conditions. Provides customizable alerts, runs thousands of scenarios to deliver optimal production sequencing, and autonomously reschedules when production sequences are not optimal. Built for manufacturers seeking adaptive, dynamic production planning across the value chain.

Direct peers

• Sight Machine: AI platform purpose-built for manufacturing analytics and optimization across factory operations. Closely comparable to FactoryOS in product scope and target customer (discrete and process manufacturers seeking real-time visibility and AI-driven insights).
• Braincube: Industrial AI and analytics platform for manufacturers covering shop floor optimization, process improvement, and predictive analytics. Comparable to Valiot's FactoryOS in targeting operational efficiency within brownfield manufacturing environments.
• Augury: IoT and AI platform for machine health and process optimization in manufacturing. Overlaps with Valiot's predictive maintenance and factory optimization capabilities, though Augury emphasizes asset reliability while Valiot spans broader operations.
• Uptake (now IFS): Industrial AI platform for asset performance, reliability, and operational optimization across manufacturing and heavy industry. Direct overlap with Valiot's predictive analytics and operations optimization capabilities (now part of IFS).

Emerging players

• SparkCognition: AI company applying machine learning to industrial operations, including manufacturing optimization and predictive maintenance. Comparable in applying AI to manufacturing use cases but with broader applicability across defense, energy, and other verticals.

Broad incumbents

• C3.ai: Enterprise AI platform provider with a manufacturing-focused application suite covering production optimization, predictive maintenance, and supply chain. Overlaps with Valiot's end-to-end enterprise AI positioning but targets larger global enterprises with broader horizontal capabilities.
• Siemens Digital Industries (MindSphere/Opcenter): Industrial automation giant offering IoT-enabled factory optimization and predictive analytics through MindSphere and Opcenter portfolios. Competes with FactoryOS as part of a broader automation suite sold to discrete and process manufacturers globally.
• Rockwell Automation (Plex / FactoryTalk): Industrial automation and software provider with Plex (MES) and FactoryTalk (analytics) covering shop floor operations and production optimization. Comparable to Valiot's offerings but bundled with Rockwell's installed automation base.
• Honeywell Forge: Enterprise performance management and industrial AI platform from Honeywell covering manufacturing, supply chain, and asset optimization. Competes head-to-head with ValueChainOS in supply chain and with FactoryOS in factory operations.

Regional players

• Fracttal: Latin American CMMS and asset management SaaS provider expanding into IoT-enabled predictive maintenance. Comparable in geography (LatAm HQ) and adjacent in product (facility/asset management) but less specialized in AI-driven process optimization.
