retrofitting old hardware with modern controls automated x-ray is super expensive ($200k +) so we took a legacy system and worked with Neuron Industries (yc S26) to install a custom AI PLC to automate the scanning processes total cost: $24k instead of $200k + that's my CTO @CarknerWill

spoke in DC about rebuilding america's electronics supply chain. we're gonna build a million american drones. the circuit boards will simply appear.

for component sourcing, often: 99% can be found with agents through distributors 1% you’ve gotta get creative… on a recent order, one chip had a 5 week lead time. our agents found a dev board that had it, got the CM to de-solder them, and ordered them to meet timeline.

There's a lot of problems in domestic PCB manufacturing. Working through the problems, solving them manually, then building around edge cases. Now we're automating quoting and part procurement in a fragmented supply chain. Aim: make ordering a circuit board as straight forward as possible.

ordering circuit boards is unnecessarily complicated and slow. Quoting in email, order status in spreadsheets, component tracking in different supplier portals, DFM reviews in PDFs. we built Central: one platform for ordering, tracking every shipment, and detecting supply chain and dfm issues during the design process.
