Major Investment from Cofounders Capital and IES Holdings will allow Automation Intellect to scale its platform faster and further expand its sales footprint
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Automation Intellect, a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) company that provides a machine performance analytics platform for manufacturing companies, is excited to announce that it has closed a major funding round. This major investment was led by current investor Cofounders Capital with significant participation from IES Holdings, a publicly traded communications and infrastructure company and the only new investor in this round. The strategic engagement of IES along with the ongoing support from Cofounders Capital will allow Automation Intellect to leverage both organizations to scale its platform faster and further expand its sales footprint. Automation Intellect is led by Chief Executive Officer, Brad DeMarco, and Chief Technology Officer, Kurt Lueck.
"If you walked into most manufacturing plants today, you would feel like you stepped back in time. Manufacturing leaders are working with very limited information. The only way manufacturers can stay competitive in this resource-constrained environment is to implement an impactful digital strategy. Investments from visionary companies like Cofounders and IES Holdings will allow us to continue to fundamentally impact the manufacturing world." said Brad DeMarco, co-founder and CEO of Automation Intellect.
