Leela AI delivers visual intelligence to manufacturers. Its measurement-based AI vision reveals insights about people, machines, and surrounding processes that other systems can’t capture.
With clearer insight, teams can spot problems early and spread best practices. This leads to measurable gains in productivity, a more forward-leaning safety culture, and improvements in quality.
Leela delivers highly accurate, decision-ready information without relying on machine data or manual input. It deploys quickly, scales easily across sites, and protects worker privacy with built-in safeguards.
Customers use Leela to increase output from existing resources and drive continuous improvement across their operations.
Leela’s leadership team met as students at MIT. They bring to the Somerville, MA company extensive technical and business experience in AI, natural language, computer science, and manufacturing.
