LuminX Secures $5.5M to Advance AI Vision Models for Warehouse Efficiency
LuminX AI, a company focused on AI-driven warehouse inventory automation, recently raised $5.5 million in seed funding. This investment will accelerate the development and rollout of their AI-powered logistics solutions. Leading investors include 1Sharpe, GTMFund, 9Yards, Chingona Ventures, and the Bond Fund.
AI Vision Language Models Tailored for Warehouses
LuminX has developed advanced vision language models that combine computer vision with natural language processing. These models analyze complex warehouse video footage to identify products, labels, package conditions, and movements, converting them into actionable data.
By bridging image recognition with textual context, these models can classify objects and answer questions based on both visual and language inputs. This capability is key for handling dynamic warehouse environments where accurate identification and interpretation of items are crucial.
Accessible Hardware Meets Sophisticated AI
The company integrates its AI models into affordable, mobile hardware cameras. These devices are designed for flexible deployment across warehouses — on docks, conveyors, forklifts, or as handheld units — making the technology practical and scalable.
“Our edge-based vision language models serve as an intelligent core for warehouse workflows,” said Alex Kaveh Senemar, LuminX’s founder. “They improve automation and provide clear insights, transforming complex processes into efficient, transparent operations.”
Senemar brings extensive experience in AI-driven warehouse safety and operations, having founded Voxel Labs Inc. He is supported by co-founder and CTO Reza Javanmardi, who holds a Ph.D. in computer science and previously led AI research at Voxel.
Comprehensive Data Capture for Streamlined Inventory Management
LuminX’s system can accurately read barcodes, QR codes, handwritten text, case counts, expiration dates, package damage, and dimensions — regardless of movement speed or angle. This supports automated dock verification and inventory tracking with high precision using various camera setups.
Operations teams benefit from faster, clearer inventory visibility through a ruggedized solution that can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the warehouse.
Early Adoption Shows Promising Results
Robert Bascom, COO of Vertical Cold Storage LLC, an early adopter, praised the technology: “It automates critical tasks, enhances quality, and reduces claims. In my career, I’ve not seen a product that improves efficiency while boosting quality and reliability like this.”
Next Steps for LuminX
