Arda builds AI software that turns product designs into assembly lines and keeps those lines current for manufacturers.
Arda targets a manufacturing bottleneck in which design changes can be implemented by people in a day but conventional automation can take three to six months and nearly $1 million to reprogram, while its deployment at Anduril has cut some work from hours to minutes. Its $232M backing funds expansion across defense, electronics, and data-center manufacturing and a move into robotics that could make assembly lines reconfigurable fast enough to support more production in the United States.
