SUMMARY

  • German industrial AI startup Deeplify has raised €2.0 million in a pre-seed funding round. The round was led by D11Z Ventures, with participation from Vanagon Ventures, EWOR, and several strategic angel investors.

The funding will support the company’s mission to transform how critical infrastructure is inspected and managed.

Deeplify focuses on solving a major gap in industrial operations. While most AI advancements have improved productivity tools and digital services, many infrastructure sectors still rely on outdated and fragmented systems. Inspection processes often depend on spreadsheets, manual reporting, static documents and analogue images, even though these systems carry high risks when defects go undetected.

The need for modernisation is growing as Europe’s chemical industry made up of around 31,000 companies faces ageing infrastructure, a shortage of skilled inspectors, and rising volumes of complex inspection data.

To solve this challenge, Deeplify has built an end-to-end AI platform for industrial inspection and asset integrity management.

The system connects workflows from raw sensor data to automated defect detection and compliant reporting, replacing fragmented processes with a unified digital solution. This helps reduce inspection time, minimise human error, and improve traceability.

The platform is based on real-world industrial use cases. Early deployments highlighted major inefficiencies in traditional workflows, leading to initial implementation with Open Grid Europe. Further pilot projects with SKF followed and the technology is now used by inspection providers supporting global energy companies such as Shell.

The new funding will help Deeplify expand its platform features and speed up deployment across key industries, including energy, oil and gas, chemicals, and transportation.

We have the most advanced software for digital-first workflows, but when it comes to determining if a high-pressure pipeline is safe, the industry is often still stuck in the past, said Jan Löwer, co-founder and CEO of deeplify.
