The Chandigarh-based startup's AI vision system turns off-the-shelf industrial robots into welders that adapt to changing parts without needing reprogramming.
Terafac raised Rs 6.5 crore for vision software letting robots adapt without reprogramming, targeting India's small-manufacturer automation gap. The 'Software as a Skill' model cuts capex and addresses labor shortage, unlocking an underserved SME market and signaling a shift toward vision-enabled manufacturing software.
Industrial robots are precise but rigid.
A robot arm on a factory floor repeats the same movement down to the millimetre, which works well when every part coming down the line is identical.
Indian manufacturing often does not work that way.
Smaller factories handle short runs and frequent changes, and each change means reprogramming the robot.
That takes a specialist, and it takes an amount of time the factory does not have the privilege to provide.
