Bochum-based deeplify raises €2 million to bring critical infrastructure inspections out of the Excel era

Bochum-based industrial AI startup deeplify has secured €2 million in pre-Seed funding to modernize critical infrastructure inspections. This investment, led by D11Z. Ventures, aims to transition crucial safety-critical industrial processes away from outdated, Excel-based workflows. The funding highlights a growing European focus on digitizing foundational industries, enhancing both efficiency and safety. deeplify's proprietary AI software addresses the significant challenge of managing asset integrity for infrastructure like pipelines, storage tanks, and chemical plant pressure vessels. The platform integrates raw sensor data and imagery, automating defect analysis and generating fully auditable digital reports. This comprehensive digital transformation promises substantial improvements, including up to 70% reduction in conventional inspection time and a 66% decrease in reporting errors. The implications are far-reaching for Europe's industrial sector, particularly in energy, oil and gas, and chemicals, where many companies operate aging infrastructure. With experienced inspectors retiring and data volumes increasing, deeplify's solution offers a critical pathway to maintain operational safety and efficiency. The company plans to leverage this funding to expand its platform and accelerate deployment, strengthening European digital sovereignty in industrial operations.
