First Resonance Emerges from Stealth to Help Companies in Aerospace, Robotics, and Automotive Get Hardware to Market Faster and Cheaper
/Developed by Engineers from SpaceX, NASA and Lexus, First Resonance's Factory Automation System helps the next generation of hardware companies design, test, and manufacture breakthrough hardware technologies at scale
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- First Resonance, a Los Angeles-based start-up with a Factory Operating System that hardware engineers trust for speed, collaboration and traceability, today unveiled its ion platform. Already in use by cutting-edge startups including Phase Four, Joby Aviation and Iron Ox, ion is built to meet the needs of next generation hardware companies. ion replaces spreadsheets and outdated costly manufacturing and supply chain processes and tools with a platform that leverages machine learning, IoT and advanced data analytics to support hardware companies working in a more rapid and iterative way than companies from previous generations.
Based in LA, the First Resonance team is made up of former engineers from SpaceX, NASA, Lexus, and other leading aerospace and automotive manufacturers. After experiencing bottlenecks created by trying to design and manufacture modern hardware products using standard manufacturing processes, the team set out to build a modern factory operating system to help hardware companies design and deliver products with the speed and efficiency needed to move these massive industries forward. The company's ion Factory Operating System is addressing the needs of the manufacturing execution system market which is anticipated to grow to $14.9B by 2025. This figure is being rapidly accelerated given the massive shift in supply chains and manufacturing landscape brought on by COVID-19 and geopolitical tensions.
