Momenta Leads Investment in Composabl, Expanding Industrial AI and Autonomy

Momenta leads the seed round for Composabl, a trailblazer in industrial AI and autonomy, joined by Ridgeline Ventures, Exposition Capital, and Hannah Gray Ventures. Composabl's unique approach empowers engineers to deploy real-time autonomous agents for manufacturing and logistics, supported by Momenta's investment and industry endorsements.

Momenta, the leading Industrial Impact ® venture capital firm, has led the seed round for Composabl, a trailblazing company at the forefront of industrial AI and autonomy. Momenta's investment, along with the participation of other notable investors such as Ridgeline Ventures, Exposition Capital, and Hannah Gray Ventures, will drive advancements in industrial processes and aligns with Momenta's commitment to entrepreneurs and leaders improving industrial operations and outcomes.


Composabl's unique approach to autonomous AI represents a step change in industrial process capabilities and will drive advancements and efficiency for manufacturing and logistics. Built for industrial process engineers, not data scientists, Composabl helps create real-time process optimization AI agents, driving toward autonomous operations. Momenta's investment will provide Composabl with the resources and support needed to accelerate the growth of its platform and market presence.

We wanted a lead investor who understands industrial, not just the market opportunity, but the market, the companies, the culture of industrials, and the impact on society. That's Momenta.", said Kence Anderson, CEO of Composabl.

Co-founded by Kence Anderson, formerly a director at Microsoft for Autonomous AI and recent author of the acclaimed O'Reilly book Designing Autonomous AI, Composabl is on a mission to help industrial corporations:

Create, deploy, and monitor industrial-strength autonomous agents that perceive and act in real-time with expert-like decision-making, enabling them to make real-life decisions for complex, high-value cyber-physical systems.
This is the sixteenth company receiving investment from Momenta's Digital Industry Fund III, anchored by Advantech, the world leader in digital industrial solutions. This is also the first company to receive investment from Momenta's Digital Industry Fund IV, anchored by Rockwell Automation, the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation.

"We wanted a lead investor who understands industrial, not just the market opportunity, but the market, the companies, the culture of industrials, and the impact on society. That's Momenta.", said Kence Anderson, CEO of Composabl. "Industrials make and move the goods we use every day; they are technical and savvy, but they are often misunderstood by big tech and startups and venture capital because they are not software companies."

"Composabl's dedication to empowering engineers with AI building blocks and its focus on creating trustworthy Industrial AI agents aligns with our vision for the Agentic future of industrial technology," said Michael Dolbec, Managing Partner of Momenta.

"We are observing an inflection point in industrial automation - the evolution from programmable compute surfaces to systems that self-learn and self-adapt within dynamic environments - from automation to autonomy," said Jordan Reynolds, VP, Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy, at Rockwell Automation. "Composabl aligns with Rockwell's vision of creating the future of industrial operations by equipping our customers with a standardized set of tools, processes, and interfaces to manage the transition to industrial autonomy."

Jerry O'Gorman, VP at Advantech IIOT division, stated, "We are pleased to support this investment in Composabl. Our leading role in edge computing and IoT solutions gives us a deep appreciation for the value of industrial AI and autonomy and, thus, the potential for AI-powered optimization solutions. We see a tremendous opportunity to collaborate with Composabl to co-create solutions to address the huge investment in manufacturing facilities, especially in North America and Europe."

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
