Industrial AI startup Maneva secured a $27 million Series A led by U.S. Venture Partners. The company's AI agents integrate with existing factory camera systems to detect safety hazards and track worker productivity.

Maneva deploys artificial intelligence agents that tap into camera infrastructure already present in manufacturing facilities, eliminating the need for new hardware investments. The system flags safety risks in real time while collecting productivity metrics on factory floors. CEO Rae Jeong confirmed the funding round to Axios Pro. The capital will support expansion of Maneva's core technology, which uses computer vision to analyze worker behavior and environmental conditions. The startup targets manufacturers seeking to improve workplace safety compliance and operational efficiency without overhauling existing surveillance infrastructure. By leveraging cameras already installed, Maneva reduces implementation barriers for industrial clients. Maneva joins a growing sector of companies applying AI to factory operations, competing in a space where safety automation and workforce analytics drive adoption across traditional manufacturing sectors.
