The food system uses more water than any other sector on Earth. 70% of it doesn’t even go towards making the product, but just cleaning the pipes. Every cycle, every day, in literally every plant. This is the climate problem no one is talking about.

Laminar is speaking at IoT Innovation Day about our advanced sensors that don't just collect, but trigger real decisions in real time with chemical-process AI. That's where process manufacturing is going.

We, as a society, have made manufacturing uncool and underpaid. So, as expected, young people choose anything else. Two siblings from the factory floor are trying to change that (I’m one sibling) and make industrial work exciting again! Follow us along through the journey!

Spoke at Bakar Labs and @PreseedInvestor's Berkeley Gateway Accelerator about F&B manufacturing being one of the world's largest water consumers, and how Laminar is leading the paradigm shift. Just cleaning the pipes accounts for up to 70% of water use!!

People keep asking me why I chose to build a company focused on solving today’s biggest manufacturing problems. My answer: because everyone else chose not to. A multi-trillion dollar industry, entirely ignored by the world! That’s not a red flag, that’s the whole opportunity.

Process manufacturing wastes staggering amounts of water, chemicals, and energy every single day. It's one of the most solvable climate problems nobody is talking about. Boston Climate Week's Climate Salon was exactly the right room to change that 🌐

The most valuable AI applications of the next decade won't be the ones you see on your phone or laptop. They'll be the ones running invisibly inside the plants that make everything you consume Process-aware AI – the industrial infrastructure layer nobody's talking about!

Joined @Deloitte 's Future of Infrastructure Leadership Immersion today to talk about how @RunLaminar is built for disruption. Critical infrastructure like our F&B factories are finally getting the AI they deserve. More on LinkedIn if you want to go deeper!

As a daughter of immigrants, @Harvard changed my life. With the confidence to make bold decisions and tackle tough problems, I went back to speak at the Harvard Female Founder Summit about building AI for process manufacturing. What a full circle moment 😃

Back in SF! And chatting abt physical AI :)

Everyone is deploying generative AI. The question is who is deploying AI that works on a factory floor at 4am? The gap between AI flashiness and AI on a real mission critical line is huge.

Silicon Valley built tools for software companies. Then for finance. Then for healthcare. Manufacturing— the industry that literally feeds, medicates, and sustains civilization— got spreadsheets and 40-year-old software. That's what we're disrupting at Laminar.

First tweet, alas finally giving this X thing a try 🙂
