About

Industrial Next is a San Francisco-based autonomous manufacturing software company — backed by $12.8 million from Khosla Ventures, AlphaX Partners, Lenovo Capital, Miracleplus, and Xiaomi — applying self-driving technology principles and robotics AI architectures developed for autonomous vehicles to factory automation, enabling manufacturers to run real-time dynamic process adjustments across factory equipment that respond to changing conditions (material variations, equipment wear, environmental factors) without manual operator intervention. Founded in 2021 by Allen Pan and Lukas Pankau — alumni of Tesla's Autopilot team and Tesla's Fremont autonomous manufacturing operations, and Waymo's sensor and communications architecture — Industrial Next commercializes the manufacturing AI technology that Tesla developed internally for its own gigafactories through the Factory Autonomy Framework (CyberRealm).
