Bosch and Siemens Energy partner Almetra raises €16 million Series A for manufacturing intelligence platform
# Almetra Secures €16M to Expand Manufacturing Intelligence Platform
Berlin-based Almetra (formerly Deltia) has closed a Series A funding round of €16 million to scale its manufacturing intelligence platform. The round was led by transatlantic investor Blisce, with backing from Bosch and Siemens Energy. The company plans to use the capital for product development, US market entry, and expansion of its shopfloor intelligence and automation capabilities.
Almetra's platform functions as a coordination layer for factory operations—collecting and processing data from production equipment to inform decision-making. For automation integrators and robotic systems operators, this type of intelligence layer matters because it sits between hardware (robots, conveyors, sensors) and human operators, potentially improving how autonomous systems respond to real-time factory conditions. The backing from established industrial players like Bosch and Siemens Energy suggests the platform is designed to integrate with existing production ecosystems rather than replace them.
The practical implication for operators: shopfloor intelligence platforms require standardized data inputs from diverse equipment to function effectively. Organizations considering deployment should clarify what sensor types, robot controllers, and legacy systems Almetra's platform currently supports—interoperability limitations often emerge after implementation begins.
