SirenOpt® is pleased to announce a strategic investment from Hitachi Ventures and InMotion Ventures to accelerate the commercialization of SirenOpt’s factory-integrated and in-line manufacturing intelligence solutions. SirenOpt will thus expand its commercial, engineering, and operations capacity to meet rapidly growing customer demand. SirenOpt’s new strategic backers will further strengthen SirenOpt’s position at the frontier of advanced manufacturing, real-time inspection, physical AI, and process control automation by bringing together industry-leading expertise with commercialization opportunities across key growth markets globally.

In advanced manufacturing, detecting defects and material inconsistencies remains a mission-critical cost and yield bottleneck, often requiring expensive, time-consuming, destructive testing. SirenOpt’s PlasmaSens™ physics-informed, machine-learning-enabled manufacturing intelligence platform enables essential non-destructive, multi-modal, and real-time inspection, quality control, and process control capabilities for key industry segments including batteries, aerospace, power generation, and semiconductor products.

This strategic investment follows multiple successful evaluations and system deployments with customers in the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, and beyond. SirenOpt has developed factory-ready solutions for both roll-to-roll manufacturing — critical to batteries, electronics, and membranes — and piece-to-piece manufacturing, central to aerospace, automotive, and power generation.

Building on demonstrable validation systems at its California headquarters, SirenOpt will accelerate development and deliver in-line customer deployments in early 2026, positioning the company to capture urgent market demand. SirenOpt also announced last week that it was awarded $2.4M in grant funding from the California Energy Commission to advance the development and commercial readiness of its PlasmaSens manufacturing intelligence platform to enable the inspection, quality control, and real-time process control of battery electrode manufacturing.

“We’ve been struck by the extraordinary speed of SirenOpt over the past 12 months — validating its solution across new industries, advancing the inline instrument, and attracting blue-chip customer interest in each sector. With a manufacturing-integrated device capable of measuring multiple material characteristics non-destructively, SirenOpt is delivering what many have long considered the holy grail of metrology,” said Jan Marchewski, Investor at Hitachi Ventures.

Mike Smeed, Managing Director at InMotion Ventures, added, “SirenOpt’s intelligence platform is setting new standards for advanced manufacturing: delivering real-time, micron-level, non-destructive testing and unlocking significant efficiency gains across numerous industries. With early deployments underway and strong customer traction, the scalability and impact of the PlasmaSens platform is already being proven.”

“Over the last year we’ve seen tremendous customer interest in our PlasmaSens manufacturing intelligence platform, and we have substantially expanded the platform’s use cases across multiple industries, including batteries, aerospace, power generation, semiconductors, and automotive,” said Jared O’Leary, CEO and co-founder of SirenOpt. “We are ramping up our engineering, product, and commercial teams to fulfill the demand we’ve seen for both our factory and lab-scale products. We will utilize this new investment to drive collaborations with our customers and prospects, with the goal of delivering our first in-factory deployments in 2026.”
