Munich’s Augmented Industries Moving Forward to Empower Industrial Technicians with AI

Augmented Industries, building an AI-powered platform for industrial technicians, led by Dr. Elisa Roth and Dr. Mirco Roth, has secured €4.5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by b2venture, with contributions from 1st Kind by Peugeot Family, xdeck, DnA Ventures, and angel investors from BMW, Siemens, and the German Mittelstand. The company also earned the European Union EIC Accelerator grant.

Despite advances in automation, over 500 million industrial technicians remain critical for maintaining complex manufacturing systems. Augmented Industries’ Flow Tool helps them work smarter, using AI to capture expertise, create training guides, and resolve issues faster.

Founders Dr. Elisa Roth and Dr. Mirco Roth, Cambridge-trained industrial engineers, combine academic research on workforce augmentation with hands-on industry experience. Having co-initiated the World Economic Forum’s “Augmented Workforce Initiative,” they are shaping Augmented Industries into the next Mittelstand champion.

Flow Tool accelerates knowledge capture and training up to 8× faster by combining diverse data sources with AI-driven guidance. Its capabilities include personalized troubleshooting for specialized machinery and automated quality checks for wind turbines, all integrated in real time with MES and QMS systems. Early adopters such as Siemens, Vestas, BMW, ZF, and Ford report major efficiency gains; Siemens cites a 29% faster technician time-to-productivity.

Augmented Industries is accelerating enterprise-grade AI innovation and expanding its European footprint among manufacturers and service providers.
