CloEE Secures $600K to Expand AI Platform for Discrete Manufacturing

AI-driven manufacturing platform CloEE has raised $600,000 in pre-seed funding to accelerate adoption across Europe and the U.S. The round was led by Miro Vertanen and the Innovestor Angel Co-Fund, with support from Cariplo Iniziative and members of FiBAN.

CloEE uses real-time data from over 25,000 machines in 25 countries to deliver AI-powered insights that boost productivity, reduce energy use, and minimize equipment failures. CEO Oleksandr Zadorozhnyi said the platform offers “a plug-and-play solution built for scalability,” and confirmed pilot testing with a U.S. manufacturer across 100 sites. The company will use the funds to scale R&D and sales, with a focus on AI agents for future manufacturing automation.
