Arda Industries develops AI software for manufacturing engineering, turning product designs into assembly plans and helping factories adapt as hardware designs change. It is developing AI agents to program robotic assembly lines.
Arda Industries emerged from stealth in October 2026 with $232 million raised, including a $160 million Series A at a reported $1.5 billion valuation. Founded by former OpenAI Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew, the company builds AI agents that translate CAD files and design artifacts into manufacturing instructions. Its software is deployed at Anduril as part of ArsenalOS. Arda is prototyping AI agents to program robots and make automated assembly lines easier to reconfigure as designs change.
