Hadrian builds automated factories to produce precision metal components for the Space & Defense industry. These factories are designed to manufacture parts significantly faster and cheaper than traditional machine shops, delivering flight-grade components in 5-21 days based on complexity. The manufacturing process is enhanced through advanced scheduling and capacity management, allowing for real-time visibility of production and inspection results. Unlike competitors, Hadrian focuses on automation to address the limitations of owner-operated shops, aiming to improve production throughput and support customers in their New Product Introduction efforts. The goal is to streamline the supply chain for manufacturers of rockets, satellites, jets, and drones.
