LuminX today announced it closed a $5.5 million seed funding round. The inventory automation and visibility company said the funding will accelerate the deployment of its systems for the logistics and warehousing industry.
“This pivotal funding allows us to scale our next-generation AI models, transforming how warehouses operate,” said Alex Kaveh Senemar. “Our edge-based vision language models represent a massive step forward, acting as an intelligent core for warehouse operations. They deliver new levels of automation and insight, helping to turn previously opaque processes into transparent, highly efficient systems.”
LuminX aims to address critical inefficiencies in supply chain and warehouse management that lead to significant operational costs and errors. The company is developing and deploying its Vision Language Models (VLMs) directly onto low-cost mobile hardware within the warehouse – an approach that makes advanced AI accessible and practical for a wider range of operations.
1Sharpe, GTMFund, 9Yards, Chingona Ventures, the Bond Fund, and more supported the seed round. The company said it will strategically invest the newly acquired funds in advancing its core research and development in Vision Language Models for logistics, further optimizing them for edge deployment, expanding its specialized engineering talent, and scaling go-to-market activities.

LuminX technology uses AI to interpret complex visual data
LuminX said its systems uniquely integrate sophisticated visual understanding with generative AI capabilities. This enables its cameras to ‘see’ and interpret complex, dynamic warehouse environments in real-time. Allowing it to recognize products, varied labels, assessing package conditions, and tracking movement, the company claimed.
The devices can be deployed anywhere in the warehouse, including docks, conveyors, on forklifts, or as handheld units. LuminX’s system intelligently processes this visual information to automate intricate operational tasks, eliminate manual work, and provide actionable data for drastically reducing discrepancies and optimizing overall workflow.
LuminX said it’s experiencing strong early traction, with many warehouses using the technology. One such early adopter is Vertical Cold Storage.
“LuminX’s technology is set to revolutionize our warehouse productivity and operations. It’s allowing us to automate critical tasks, significantly enhance quality, and reduce claims,” Robert Bascom, COO of Vertical Cold Storage, said. “In my entire career, I have yet to encounter a product that so effectively improves efficiency while simultaneously boosting quality and reliability.”
LuminX is led by founder and CEO Alex Kaveh Senemar, who also founded Voxel, an AI developer for warehouse safety and operations. Voxel investors and customers also significantly participated in this funding round, LuminX said.
