DeepHow
"Physical AI for Operational Excellence"
Physical AI platform that captures expert know-how into smart videos and verifies frontline task execution with vision AI for manufacturing.
DeepHow, founded in 2018 by a team of former Siemens researchers and engineers led by CEO and co-founder Dr. Sam Zheng, develops an AI knowledge and verification platform for frontline industrial work. The platform captures expert knowledge into searchable, step-segmented smart videos: it automatically transcribes spoken dialogue into time-stamped text, translates content into multiple languages as subtitles, and breaks recordings into chapters or steps. Beyond knowledge capture, DeepHow applies vision AI to verify execution, with capabilities including Live SOP Verification that checks each step as it is performed, on-demand visual inspection that validates results, Smart Compare for video and photo verification, and Time and Motion AI for automated task classification. The company describes its approach as Physical AI with human actuation, forming a closed loop from knowledge capture to verified execution to optimization.
Core platform modules include Smart Videos, Smart Instructions, Skills Management, Task Management, Enterprise Reporting and Smart Assist, plus an industry solution, PharmaCloud, for pharma, biotech and medical devices. DeepHow serves manufacturing, pharmaceutical and medical-device, and electronics-assembly industries, and is trusted by more than 100 enterprise customers across over 500 sites in 28 countries, including Stanley Black & Decker, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Siemens Energy, Emerson, Magna and Foxconn.
Stanley Black & Decker is a strategic investor. In a deployment with Foxconn, DeepHow reported 99% task-level accuracy and a 3% First Pass Yield improvement, and the company collaborates with NVIDIA on generative AI for skilled workers. DeepHow is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan.
