Finland's Rotomate closes €2.1M pre-seed to give every industrial plant around-the-clock expert reliability analysis

Industrial plants generate more sensor data than they can analyse. Although investment in condition monitoring equipment has grown steadily, the pool of specialists who can distinguish meaningful signals from noise and translate findings into maintenance decisions has not kept pace. Without this expertise, the data either remains unused or generates alerts that teams cannot prioritise with confidence.

Rotomate, a Finnish startup founded in 2024 by Mikko Kuusisto and Dr Jesse Miettinen, has developed an AI platform that continuously runs this analysis. The platform ingests vibration measurements alongside maintenance records and historical operational data, applying AI diagnostic reasoning to produce various outputs, including explained alerts, root-cause analysis, and prioritised work-order suggestions. The platform's goal is to provide expert-level machine analysis around the clock, eliminating the need for specialists to be on call. The outputs are tailored by role: what a vibration analyst needs to see differs from what a plant manager or maintenance planner needs, and the platform is designed to account for this.

In June 2026, Rotomate closed a €2.1 million pre-seed funding round, led by Kvanted and with participation from Robin Capital, Angel Invest, Accel through its scout programme and Business Finland through an AI development grant, as well as other angel investors. Capital will support product development and international expansion.
