The Problem

High-mix manufacturing lines change tasks frequently, which makes traditional automation impractical. Factory owners report two recurring issues: they cannot hire enough people, and the automation equipment they have already purchased is too rigid and too expensive, so it ends up sitting idle. Existing automation typically requires programming, CAD work, or teach-pendant setup for each new task, which does not fit lines that change every week.

The Solution

Shiraz builds a robot foundation model that learns a new manufacturing task from a single human video demonstration, without programming, CAD, or a teach pendant. The model adapts in context from that one demonstration, avoiding retraining or a data-collection campaign. Shiraz delivers the full stack needed to run the task on a customer's line: the hardware, the model, and on-site deployment. The company states its robots are already operational at customer sites.

Why Now?

High-mix manufacturing lines change too fast for traditional automation, which is too rigid and expensive to justify for frequently changing tasks, leaving it idle on factory floors.
