Founded in late 2025 and based in Munich, Linexa is developing an AI platform that decodes legacy industrial control systems across vendors and translates operational logic into a unified data model. The company operates directly at the level of machine control systems rather than focusing on business-process or sensor layers, aiming to give manufacturers comprehensive visibility into production environments. Linexa's platform is designed to enable autonomous monitoring and optimisation of production lines and to reduce risks and changeover times when switching processes or products. The startup positions its solution as a tool to help manufacturers modernise operations, improve resilience, and address fragmentation caused by decades of heterogeneous control systems. With the €2 million pre-seed round led by Project A and angel participation, Linexa plans to further develop its technology and expand support for manufacturers.
