FloVision Solutions, an AI startup specializing in yield and quality analytics for protein production, has secured $8.7 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Insight Partners, with participation from Serra Ventures, SOSV, and Rockstart.
FloVision’s AI-powered tools enable food processors to measure yield, monitor quality, and enhance labor performance in real-time. Compact sensors are attached to conveyor belts and workstations, scanning each product as it moves. This technology enables processors to analyze yield and quality on a per-piece basis, instantly detecting defects, misgrades, and foreign materials, and triggering alerts for on-the-spot sorting or rejection.
Data collected is consolidated into a centralized dashboard, enabling supervisors to identify trends and inform more informed decision-making. Since its launch in 2020, FloVision has processed over 23.2 million kilograms (51.1 million pounds) of food in leading plants across various regions. Customers have improved their yield by up to 1.5% and reported a return on investment of up to 15 times by reducing waste and making faster, data-driven decisions.
How the funding will be used: This funding will support FloVision’s expansion across North America, Europe, Australia, South America, and Asia, as well as boost hiring in engineering, AI/ML, and sales roles.
And with this funding, FloVision is hiring software, hardware, and AI/ML engineers, as well as sales representatives, to support its growing customer base. The company operates with a hybrid team across the U.S. and Europe.
