MakinaRocks
Industrial MLOps platform to deploy AI models in manufacturing production
Overview
MakinaRocks is a South Korean company (founded 2017, ~89 employees, $13M revenue in 2024) specialising in industrial MLOps solutions. Its Runway platform lets industrial data science teams build, train, deploy and monitor AI models end-to-end, with pre-built blocks for manufacturing use cases: anomaly detection, defect prediction, process optimisation.
MakinaRocks stands out through heavy industry focus (petrochemicals, steel, energy) and MLOps positioning rather than turnkey tools. The platform targets organisations that already have data scientists and want to accelerate AI model production without rebuilding infrastructure from scratch.
Our verdict
Relevant for large industrial enterprises with in-house data science teams seeking an MLOps platform suited to industry constraints (latency, security, SCADA integration). Unsuitable for SMEs without data science skills: this is a tool for AI developers, not business users. If you have no data scientist in-house, first look at turnkey solutions like LandingAI or Tulip.
