Edge Manufact

Manufacturers of high-value products such as next-generation solar cells, energy materials, and printed electronics face a common bottleneck: the lack of real-time process visibility and adaptive control. This leads to inconsistent product quality, low yield, and limited scalability.

Small and mid-sized manufacturers, in particular, often lack the in-house research and development or data capabilities to address these challenges. Edge Manufact addresses this gap by providing a smart manufacturing platform that integrates inline sensing with AI-driven optimisation, enabling real-time, data-informed process control.

We are currently validating this solution through a government-funded pilot project, establishing a lab-scale production line for perovskite solar cells. Our team brings deep expertise in solar cell technology, machine learning, and large-area coating automation.

While we are strong on the technical front, we are now seeking to refine our business model, engage with early customers, and build a founding team with commercial, sales, and leadership capabilities to scale into broader advanced manufacturing markets.
