Asperity Industries is an AI-native robotics deployment company for small and medium manufacturers
Asperity Industries is an AI-native robotics deployment company for small and medium manufacturers. We help shops automate one painful task in 6 weeks -- leased robot hardware, in-house AI and perception software, measured before/after performance. Most robots in SMB manufacturing are programmed once and run one product. They handle pose variation badly, choke on part-family changes, and lose hours on changeover. The hardware is fine -- what's missing is the software layer that lets a workcell adapt. Asperity builds that layer. Our first product is the AI Robotics Feasibility Sprint: a 6-week, $25K-$80K engagement where we bring or configure a leased robot at your facility, instrument it for data collection, build a baseline automation, then add the AI layer that handles the variation your operators see every day. At week 6, you have measured before/after numbers and a production-pilot proposal grounded in what we observed -- not vendor optimism. Mechanical fixturing, end-of-arm tooling fabrication, PLC integration, and safety engineering are delegated to regional integration partners. We stay in the AI/software lane. Year-1 focus: East Texas fabrication shops within driving distance of Tyler, and specialty electronics contract manufacturers nationally. Based in Tyler, TX. Founded 2026. Reach us: [email protected]
