About LuminX
Software knows where every byte is. Nobody knows where every pallet is. We're building the Visual AI Layer for warehouse operations — so the physical supply chain runs on evidence, not guesswork.
Our story
Our founders spent years building warehouse AI — and kept watching the same scene play out at every dock: skilled people stopping mid-flow to scan barcodes one at a time, count cases by hand, and key data into systems that still didn't match reality.
The problem wasn't ambition. It was economics. Vision systems that could fix the dock demanded heavyweight infrastructure and heavyweight budgets. Then two curves crossed: vision-language models got good enough to read anything a person can, and edge silicon got cheap enough to put at every door. For the first time, the dock could see for itself.
We founded LuminX in San Francisco in 2024 to build exactly that — slim units that read every pallet the moment it moves, with all the intelligence on the device.
The team
We've shipped warehouse AI before — at Amazon Robotics, Tesla, Nvidia, Waymo, and Voxel. We've trained the models, built the robots, and stood on the dock at 6 a.m. That's the bar for everything we ship: it has to work in the real flow of work, not just the lab.
Where we're going
When every pallet is read as it moves, the dock becomes a live digital twin — the physical floor, mirrored in real time. That's where we start. As machines learn to see, we intend to bring the same clarity to the rest of the physical economy — across warehousing, manufacturing, and the wider industrial supply chain.
Backed by
Our seed round was led by Tier 1 venture partners — joined by industry executives and operators from companies like Vertical Cold Storage and Maersk, who live the dock problem every day.
We're hiring in San Francisco — and putting units on docks across the country.
