bananaz, based in Tel Aviv, is an innovative platform redefining design change management for R&D and engineering teams.

bananaz announced tody its official exit from stealth mode backed by $5.3 million in seed funding from leading investors, 10D and Cardumen Capital.

This milestone enables bananaz to scale its AI-powered solutions, offering engineering teams cutting-edge tools that eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional design workflows, saving valuable time and money across the entire production process.

bananaz addresses critical pain points for manufacturers, particularly for R&D and engineering teams in the validation and review of technical drawings.

By leveraging AI and computer vision, the platform automates error detection and manages change across engineering teams and external partners, reducing manual busywork and preventing costly mistakes.

From automated drawing and 3D CAD model comparison to real-time collaboration, bananaz empowers engineering teams to optimize every aspect of their workflows.

“Today’s manufacturing landscape is becoming more complex and fast-paced. We built bananaz to help companies catch issues early in the process, minimize rework, and ensure that products meet the highest quality standards,” said Or Israel, CEO of bananaz.

Integrating AI into design workflows not only streamlines operations but also ensures that companies can maintain compliance with evolving industry standards and regulations, including the growing focus on sustainability and traceability.

By offering real-time collaboration tools, valuable AI insights based on industry standards such as ISO and ASME, and seamless CAD/PDM integration, bananaz helps companies manage these challenges efficiently while reducing operational costs.

The manufacturing industry, where 30% of engineering time is lost to manual reviews and 20% of revenues are eroded by design errors, benefits significantly from bananaz’s AI-driven solution.

The platform can reduce design review times by up to 90%, eliminating undetected drawing errors, and saving companies millions in rework and recalls.
