Haber: Building Smarter, More Efficient Factories with AI-Driven Automation Decoding Manufacturing

Everyone’s talking about generative AI. Few talk about industrial AI: where the data meets the factory floor. In this episode of Decoding Manufacturing, Vipin Raghavan, Co-founder & CEO, Haber, explains how Haber is using AI to close the loop between lab and line, turning process data into real-time chemistry control and measurable profit impact. From automating dosing systems to building trust through prediction accuracy, Vipin breaks down what it takes to bring AI into legacy plants, why Haber prices by production output instead of licenses, and how vertical depth and reliability built a zero-churn business. He also talks about India’s manufacturing readiness, cultural differences in adoption, and what the road to autonomous factories really looks like.
