EaseMyAI uses cameras and AI to monitor factory floors, ports and warehouses
The Mumbai startup builds robotic process automation using computer vision, and counts Hitachi, Ericsson and two large banks among its clients.
Large industrial sites run on rules. A worker must wear a helmet in a given zone. A truck must be loaded in a set order. A machine must be shut down before maintenance begins.
Checking that any of this actually happens is still mostly a human job. A supervisor walks the floor and checks the area.
, a Mumbai startup, builds software that does the watching. It was founded in 2022 by Gagandeeip Singh Randhawa, Yaman Bhardwaj, Jekin Dedhia and Surendra Sancheti.
The cost of missing something is high. A safety breach can injure a worker. A compliance failure can bring a penalty or halt a shipment. Both usually come to light after the fact, when a report is filed, or an accident has already happened.
Teaching cameras what to look for
The company works in robotic process automation, or RPA, which means automating repetitive tasks that humans do. Most RPA software handles paperwork. EaseMyAI applies it to physical operations instead.
Its platform uses computer vision to read feeds from cameras already installed on a site. AI models then interpret what they see and decide whether something needs flagging. The company describes this as putting the decision-making step inside the automation, rather than simply recording footage for someone to review later.
The system covers operations and compliance together. It can track how a process is running, and check whether safety and regulatory rules are being followed. The startup works with existing cameras to keep the cost down. A site does not have to install new hardware or rebuild its network before it can start, which matters for buyers who are cautious about automation.
EaseMyAI has applied for a patent on the AI-based operating system underneath the platform. It also works across adjacent areas, including internet-of-things sensors and industrial control systems.
Ports, factories and banks
The company says it has served more than 30 clients, including Hitachi and Ericsson on the industrial side, and ICICI Bank and Standard Chartered Bank in financial services. It also works with port and warehouse operators.
The same computer-vision layer can watch a loading bay or a bank branch, but the underlying software does not.
EaseMyAI raised Rs 3 crore in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures in September 2023. It had raised Rs 1.8 crore in an earlier tranche led by the same investor in March that year. Firstport Capital has also backed the company.
The funds were used for product development, a sales and marketing team, and a wider distributor network. Selling through distributors suits the customer base, since industrial buyers often prefer a local partner who can install and service a system. The company employs about 23 people.
That is a crowded market, and larger software firms sell versions of the same idea. EaseMyAI's argument is that it understands Indian industrial sites, where conditions are inconsistent, and buyers want a system that works with what they already own.
