Bright Machines Microfactories automate assembly processes, increasing productivity and quality

December 16, 2020 – San Francisco, CA – Today, Bright Machines™ and Argonaut Manufacturing Services (‘Argonaut’) together are announcing that Bright Machines will automate Argonaut’s unique assembly process.

Argonaut, based in Carlsbad, CA, is a contract manufacturing organization offering a host of customized manufacturing and supply chain solutions for life science, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical companies, including formulation, filling, lyophilization, and kitting, as well as automated aseptic fill-finish equipment for sterile injectable drugs.

“We started Bright Machines with the mission to increase the speed, scalability, and flexibility of manufacturing using an intelligent, software-driven approach,” said Amar Hanspal, CEO and co-founder of Bright Machines. “Argonaut’s unique approach to mission-critical work aligns perfectly with our approach to reimagining the factory floor, making this a natural fit. We are thrilled to partner with such an innovative company and look forward to helping them achieve a new level of scale in 2021 and beyond.”

By selecting Bright Machines, Argonaut will increase factory production without sacrificing quality – a critical reason they are proud to partner with Bright Machines.
