We just launched Miru (YC S24)! Armel Talla, Benjamin Smidt, and I have been working hard on this the past few months, and we’re excited to share what we’ve been up to. Billions of people around the world work in physically difficult jobs. Intelligent robots can make their lives easier. If we can automate all of the dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs worldwide, we can free humanity to do more important and fulfilling work. However, the engineers building these powerful devices don’t have the right DevOps tools to get the job done. As a result, progress is slowed, companies fail, and ideas die. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Miru is building the infrastructure to power the intelligent revolution. We’re starting with software deployment infrastructure for robotics and IoT. If you’re a robotics or IoT team struggling with OTA software deployment, we’d love to help! We’re obsessed with this problem and won’t rest until we’ve solved it. As a side note, we’re grateful to be funded by Y Combinator for their S24 batch. We were inspired to start our startup journey by reading PG essays and watching YC's YouTube videos. We’re excited to make the most of this opportunity and follow in the footsteps of the great founders who came before us.

Miru (YC S24) is building the deployment infrastructure for robotics and IoT. Currently, robotics and IoT companies don’t have the benefit of robust, off-the-shelf DevOps tools. Because of this, they often dedicate more than half of their software team to building custom internal tools, which increases costs and decreases product velocity. Miru helps companies build and maintain their deployment pipelines, saving their engineers months of work. With Miru, teams can deploy software over the air, provision devices, and manage versioning for their fleets. For engineers using Miru, updating software on thousands of devices is as easy as pushing a change to GitHub! After meeting in their freshman dorm at The University of Texas at Austin, Vedant Nair, Armel Talla, and Benjamin Smidt spent their time in college building an AI video dev tool. They're passionate about a future where robotics can free humans from doing the dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks that dominate billions of people’s lives. They founded Miru to provide the infrastructure to accelerate this transition. Congrats Vedant, Armel, and Ben on the launch! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gCbxSh3z

Miru (YC S24) helps robotics and IoT companies easily deploy software updates to their devices over the air. It simplifies the process of managing and updating large fleets of devices by handling tasks like building, staging, and deploying software automatically. For engineers, it’s as simple as pushing a change to GitHub, and Miru takes care of the rest. Miru addresses the lack of robust DevOps tools for robotics and IoT companies. Without these tools, these companies are usually forced to manually update devices or create costly, custom-built solutions... ...This can consume a significant portion of their engineering teams' time and resources, which slows down product development and increases costs. By providing a centralized, reliable, and scalable solution, Miru enables these companies to focus on building their products rather than maintaining complex deployment infrastructure. Founders- Armel Talla, Vedant Nair, Benjamin Smidt & the entire Miru team are passionate about accelerating the adoption of robots by providing the essential infrastructure to support their deployment.

We have seen the manufacturing landscape rapidly transform before our eyes in the last few years. This is even more evident with Industry 4.0. The integration of IoT, AI, and advanced robotics is redefining production processes. Smart factories, once a distant dream, are now a reality, pushing the boundaries of operational efficiency, precision, and flexibility. However, as I see it, the real challenge isn't just adopting these cutting-edge technologies. It’s about upskilling our workforce to navigate this digital transformation. Automation alone isn't enough. We need to cultivate a culture of continuous learning and innovation within our teams. As leaders, I believe it’s our responsibility to invest in the training and development of our people. Only then can we ensure that they are equipped to fully harness the immense potential that Industry 4.0 offers. #Industry40 #SmartManufacturing #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Leadership #ContinuousLearning #WorkforceDevelopment #IoT #AI #AdvancedRobotics #ManufacturingExcellence #EpackGroup https://lnkd.in/gq7fNebw

⚙️ 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝟒.𝟎 The advent of Industry 4.0 marks a monumental turning point in the world of manufacturing. This new era is not just about incremental improvements; it represents a fundamental transformation in how industries operate, driven by the seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and cloud computing. At the core of Industry 4.0 is the concept of connectivity. Machines, systems, and even products are interconnected through IoT, allowing real-time data exchange and communication across the manufacturing process. This connectivity fosters unprecedented levels of automation, enabling manufacturers to optimize operations with precision and agility. Big Data and AI play pivotal roles in this transformation. The vast amounts of data generated by IoT devices are harnessed through advanced analytics, providing insights that drive decision-making. AI algorithms enhance production lines by predicting maintenance needs, optimizing supply chains, and even designing products with greater efficiency and innovation. One of the most profound impacts of Industry 4.0 is on labor. Traditional manufacturing processes often relied on a large workforce, but automation and robotics are redefining the need for manual labor. Machines now handle repetitive and dangerous tasks with unparalleled accuracy, significantly lowering labor costs while boosting productivity and quality. As industries continue to embrace these advancements, they are witnessing a revolutionary shift in how goods are produced, assembled, and delivered. The integration of robotics and automation has not only enhanced competitiveness but also opened doors to new possibilities, such as mass customization and flexible production lines. However, this shift is not without its challenges. The transition to Industry 4.0 requires significant investment in technology and infrastructure, as well as a skilled workforce capable of managing and maintaining these new systems. Moreover, concerns around cybersecurity and data privacy must be addressed to safeguard the interconnected networks that form the backbone of Industry 4.0. Despite these challenges, the benefits of Industry 4.0 are undeniable. By embracing this paradigm shift, manufacturers can achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency, innovation, and competitiveness. As we move forward, the industries that successfully navigate this transformation will lead the way in the global economy, setting new standards for what is possible in manufacturing.

TL;DR: As #engineers, engaging directly with your users is crucial. Understanding how they interact with your product is key to creating tools that truly meet their needs. 🧐 Here’s how we did it: At IoT Venture GmbH, the backend team’s commitment goes beyond supporting customers and users—we also ensure that our tracker manufacturers have the essential tools they need for production. We’ve just launched V2 of our production tools to better meet their needs. As backend #engineers, my team and I aren’t experts in production processes. To bridge this gap, we engaged in ongoing discussions with our production #engineering team, including Daniel Fraunhofer, Jannis Dilling, and Dustin Reymendt. Here’s how we approached the project: - Our #engineering manager Benjamin Fröhlich gathered the requirements and created the necessary tickets. 📝 - Amélie Boudier and I took over implementation, working closely with the production #engineering team to deeply understand the user’s perspective. 💬 - Once development was complete, Amélie Boudier and I observed how the production team intuitively used the tools, allowing us to identify bugs and make improvements before the final release. 🔍 #UX #code #productmanagement P.S.: Daniel Fraunhofer described the project himself in another post: https://lnkd.in/eKFsZtq3
