Edison Partners Leads $15M Growth Investment in MacroFab

Leave a comment


News Image

CEO Misha Govshteyn and his leadership team are unlocking the $29 billion dollars in manufacturing volume that is currently stranded in North America.


PRINCETON, N.J. (PRWEB)

Edison Partners, the growth equity investment firm, today announced leading a $15 million growth capital investment in Houston-based MacroFab, a leading platform in the electronics manufacturing-as-a-service market. The financing round includes strategic investment from Altium Limited, a publicly traded electronics design software company. MacroFab will use the funds to accelerate sales and marketing of its cloud manufacturing platform for mid-market industrial, energy IoT, robotics and computing enterprises.

The $156 billion global market for mid-volume electronics manufacturing production is expected to grow at a forecasted CAGR of 8% through 2025, with the market shift to onshore likely to drive North American growth faster than the global trend. MacroFab aggregates unused capacity at 75+ factories in the US, Canada and Mexico to give mid-market manufacturers end-to-end production and an alternative to offshoring, where capacity is increasingly constrained and lead times are impacted by supply chain shipment disruptions.

“MacroFab is at the forefront of building supply chain resilience as the trend to nearshoring and multi-source shoring continues with rising costs in Asia, component shortages, and the increasing need for agile production. By optimizing both factory capacity and breadth of capability while digitizing that interface, CEO Misha Govshteyn and his leadership team are unlocking the $29 billion dollars in manufacturing volume that is currently stranded in North America. All this, plus expanding economic opportunities and job creation in local factory markets,” said Daniel Herscovici, Partner, Edison Partners, who led the investment. Herscovici will join MacroFab’s Board of Directors.

Many customers rely on MacroFab to scale from prototype, through pre-production and into full production. The company has experienced a 2x growth in both revenue and headcount in 2020 and is on pace to do the same in 2021.

“Trying to fit smaller volumes in factories designed to do millions of units is a pain point for mid-market manufacturers. MacroFab unlocks access to a curated marketplace of factories that meet their need for agility, response time and transparency,” said MacroFab CEO Misha Govshteyn. “Further, MacroFab addresses the reshoring trend accelerated by the challenges of 2020. Dan’s domain expertise and the Edison team’s counsel will be invaluable as we accelerate our platform and factory footprint.”

An Edison Partners X investment, MacroFab is Edison’s 270th investment since inception in 1986. This is also the sixth investment for Daniel Herscovici, who started his career on the floor of a plastics injection molding factory and later led mobile phone manufacturing operations teams at Lucent Bell Labs and Motorola.

MacroFab is the second Texas-based supply chain transformation leader Edison has invested in, alongside Austin-based Overhaul. MacroFab also joins the good company of Edison’s vertical marketplace investments including Austin-based LawnStarter, Boulder-based The Pro’s Closet, and NYC-based Yieldstreet.

The investment comes on the heels of Edison achieving its fourth consecutive record year for total exit proceeds. In the last six months, Edison investments and exits have spanned behavioral intelligence company Jornaya, remote patient monitoring leader Health Recovery Solutions, go-to-market solutions platform Terminus, and ad tech leader TripleLift.

Radiant Vision Systems Honored by Vision Systems Design 2021 Innovators Award Program

Radiant Vision Systems Honored by Vision Systems Design 2021 Innovators Award Program

By combining photometric and machine vision capabilities, VIP Software offers the first complete solution for backlit symbol evaluation.


REDMOND, Wash. (PRWEB)

Radiant Vision Systems, a leading provider of automated visual inspection solutions for light-emitting components, announced today that its VIP™ (Vision Inspection Pack) Software has been recognized among the best in machine vision by the judges of the Vision Systems Design 2021 Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of esteemed experts from system-integrator and end-user companies.

“The Vision Systems Design team would like to congratulate Radiant Vision Systems for their score in the 2021 Innovators Awards program,” says Chris Mc Loone, Editor in Chief. “Each year this unbiased and increasingly competitive program aims to celebrate the most innovative products and systems in machine vision. The Radiant team should be very proud.”

The visual quality of a backlit component—such as illuminated keypads, electronic controls, instrument panels, and LED light strips—is determined equally by the photometric and dimensional properties of its illuminated regions. Machine vision equipment has long provided an effective method for registering the area of characters and shapes captured within two-dimensional images. Separately, photometric imaging systems have been developed to measure values of light (brightness and color) across the broad emission areas of light sources and displays. Until recently, manufacturers needed to compromise to apply a complete solution for backlit symbol inspection. The solution required either human inspection or a combination of software or equipment—typically a photometric system and a machine vision system—each component accomplishing only part of the quality control objective. In the latter case, this combination of equipment not only increased cost but added complexity when outputting data for analysis, pass/fail routines, and automated inspection operations.

To address the need for efficiency in backlit component testing, Radiant Vision Systems developed an extension for its TrueTest™ Automated Visual Inspection Software platform that combines complete inspection capabilities within a single system. Released on May 18, 2020, VIP (Vision Inspection Pack) Software extends the capabilities of TrueTest beyond photometric analysis, adding machine vision registration to enable defect detection in conjunction with absolute light and color measurement. Analyses combined with machine vision registration allow VIP to calculate accurate luminance, chromaticity, uniformity, and other photometric values within the bespoke measurement regions of symbols, text, and shapes. Registration functionality also enables VIP to detect defects, such as malformed symbols and shapes, extended symbol area, or missing and poorly illuminated areas. Software locates and defines measurement regions dynamically, regardless of component location or orientation, and can evaluate multiple regions at once.

By combining photometric and machine vision capabilities, VIP Software offers the first complete solution for backlit symbol evaluation. The solution greatly reduces time and cost for lab testing and production-level quality control. Manufacturers who utilize VIP benefit from a single camera/software system that evaluates all visual qualities of backlit components out of the box, with quantifiable and objective data, and easy integration into automated systems and inline inspection operations.
