Industrial AI can only scale when factories possess reliable, universal data foundations. UMH addresses this challenge by creating unified data systems.

United Manufacturing Hub, founded in 2021 in Cologne, helps manufacturers digitally connect their machinery and streamline production data. The startup bridges shop floor and IT systems by creating a unified data namespace. Recently, UMH secured 5 million euros in funding from investors including Kompas VC and Sustainable Future Ventures.

The platform enables companies like HiPP, Edeka, and Böllhoff to develop scalable digital and AI applications. Founders Christian Proch, Alexander Krüger, and Jeremy Theocharis developed an open-source platform that transforms fragmented production data into actionable information. With this investment, UMH plans to enhance connectivity, data modeling, and AI capabilities.
