Silviu Homoceanu (technology director – CTO) and his colleague, Max Fischer (general director – CEO), launched the startup Deltia.AI in 2022, in Berlin. Their company recently secured a seed investment round led by Berlin-based venture capital Cavalry Ventures, with participation from Merantix, an AI-based investment fund that previously funded the startup. Among the investors who trusted Deltia.AI are also industry leaders, such as Max Viessmann (CEO of the Viessmann Group) or Edward Grefenstette (Google DeepMind).
Deltia.AI will invest the money in the marketing and sales area to increase its customer base.
The German startup founded by Silviu Homoceanu and Max Fischer develops solutions based on artificial intelligence and computer vision to help industrial companies optimize their production processes.
In short, Deltia.AI uses video cameras and optical sensors to collect images and other data from customers’ manufacturing lines. The data is centralized on a software platform that uses artificial intelligence to provide the client with work optimization solutions.
The startup claims to have given its customers a 10-30% increase in productivity and a 20-50% decrease in time spent training new employees.
Deltia.AI also states that, although it uses video cameras, its system complies with European regulations on the protection of personal data (GDPR), and the employees in the factories maintain their anonymity.
Although artificial intelligence has been talked about lately as a technology that will replace workers and take people’s jobs, Deltia.AI is an AI startup that bases its business model precisely on helping workers become better at what i do.
“We also have customers who manufacture watches, we have customers from various industries. But I do remember one example with a robot trying to put a battery in a phone – a crazy complicated example, 100 times slower than a human. Although technology has advanced a lot, at least in the near future the idea is to use this technology to help the human factor become better” – explained CTO Silviu Homoceanu, in a presentation for the Cavalry investment fund.
