Ex-SpaceX Engineers Bring Rocket Software to Factories

Sift Stack, co-founded by former SpaceX engineers, is adapting its rocket telemetry software for complex machine manufacturing. The company's tools manage vast amounts of real-time performance data from sensors during testing and production. Initially focused on custom workflows, Sift Stack has shifted its emphasis to data infrastructure management, recognizing the increasing value of organized data for AI applications. Their platform handles immense data flows from machines with millions of sensors, making data machine-readable for AI decision-making in manufacturing and analysis. The company recently raised $42 million in a Series B round.
