Arda Industries builds AI for manufacturing engineering. Its software turns a product design into an assembly line and keeps that line current as the design changes, work that is necessary to build innovative, fast-changing products. Arda was founded by Bob McGrew, former Chief Research Officer at OpenAI and Palantir's product and engineering leader for its first decade, with co-founders from Palantir and Adept. It is deployed at Anduril and works with companies in the data center supply chain.
