Oxipital AI Closes Series A Following Major Commercial Expansion and Rapid Adoption of its V-CORTX AI Vision Platform

Published

on

Round Co-Led by SAS Private Equities and Scale Venture Partners to Accelerate Deployment of AI-Powered Manufacturing Solutions

BEDFORD, Mass., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oxipital AI, whose V-CORTX platform is quickly becoming the visual intelligence backbone for modern food manufacturing, today announced the successful close of its Series A financing. The round was co-led by SAS Private Equities and Scale Venture Partners, with participation from Material Impact and other existing shareholders.

The financing follows a period of rapid commercial growth as manufacturers increasingly deploy Oxipital AI’s V-CORTX platform to address labor shortages, product quality challenges, food safety requirements, and production bottlenecks in highly variable manufacturing environments.

Oxipital AI is on track to deliver 400% annual revenue growth in 2026, powered by production expansion with several global food manufacturers. Most recently, the company was awarded a major production contract to expand deployment of its V-CORTX platform, including 120 AI vision systems, to perform critical foreign object detection across multiple production lines and facilities.

“Food manufacturing is entering a new era,” said Mark J. Chiappetta, President & CEO of Oxipital AI. “While automation is deployed at scale in highly structured industries like semiconductor fabrication and automotive, many others have been unable to benefit broadly because products and production conditions vary constantly. Our V-CORTX platform changes the game, enabling conventional automation systems to observe, understand, and act with human-level performance in these complex real-world environments.”

At the center of the company’s success is V-CORTX, a synthetic AI vision platform purpose-built for high-variability manufacturing. With its proprietary synthetic model training pipeline and factory model, V-CORTX enables manufacturers to rapidly deploy inspection and quality control, yield and throughput optimization, foreign material detection, and vision-guided robotic automation solutions at production scale.

The platform also provides production data analytics to support deterministic decision-making, auditability, and end-to-end traceability, enabling manufacturers to confidently deploy AI in production environments where reliability, compliance, and operational accountability are essential.

“Machine vision has historically been one of the largest failure points in industrial automation,” said Rory O’Driscoll, Partner at Scale Venture Partners. “Oxipital AI has built a fundamentally differentiated approach that is already proving itself in production at scale. Their traction with major food manufacturers demonstrates both the urgency of the problem and the size of the opportunity ahead.”

As manufacturers accelerate investments in AI-driven operations, Oxipital AI is becoming an increasingly important component of modern production infrastructure. By combining synthetic AI vision, operational intelligence, and robotic automation integration, the company helps manufacturers improve product quality, increase throughput, reduce waste, strengthen food safety, and reduce dependence on scarce labor resources in environments that have traditionally challenged conventional automation systems.

First commercial deployment of FDB Script Agent™ with Tebra converts ambient encounter dialogue into structured prescriptions for clinician review, grounded in trusted medication intelligence

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FDB (First Databank, Inc.), the leading provider of clinically robust, AI-enabled medication intelligence that helps healthcare professionals make precise medication decisions and streamline medication workflows, today announced the first commercial deployment of FDB Script Agent™, an AI prescribing agent that turns patient-visit dialogue into structured prescriptions ready for clinician review. The deployment with Tebra, an all-in-one technology platform for independent healthcare practices, brings FDB’s trusted medication intelligence into the ambient clinical workflow with clinical validation and terminology codification rather than simple NLP.

Script Agent uses FDB’s dose-appropriate medication intelligence to transform encounter dialogue into structured, evidence-based prescriptions for clinician review. Clinicians can modify or approve each prescription before it is sent. Due to its clinical grounding, the agent avoids hazards of simple NLP alone and will not stage prescriptions that fall outside normal prescribing practice without a clinician override.

Ambient AI has significantly reduced documentation burden by turning patient conversations into clinical notes, but prescribing often remains a manual task during or after the visit, and physician expectations are rising. FDB Script Agent extends ambient AI automation beyond documentation into prescribing by interpreting physician intent from the encounter and assembling the codified prescription elements needed by the EHR.

Tebra integrated Script Agent into its Tebra AI Note Assist, Tebra’s AI-powered clinical documentation workflow for independent ambulatory practices.

“Prescribing is one of the most important moments in care, but it still buries clinicians in administrative work,” said David Delaney, MD, president of FDB. “By capturing prescriptions directly from the ambient exam-room conversation and grounding them in FDB’s trusted medication intelligence, Script Agent turns that dialogue into a structured prescription ready for review. This lowers the administrative burden of prescribing while keeping clinicians in control.”

Early Tebra users report the AI Note Assist feature using Script Agent is intuitive and reduces prescribing-related administrative effort while preserving confidence in the review process.

“Independent practices are being asked to do more with fewer resources, and every minute spent on administrative work is time taken away from patient care,” said Kyle Ryan, Tebra chief product and technology officer. “We’re excited to partner with FDB to deliver AI-powered prescription review that simplifies prescribing workflows and reduces operational burden. These capabilities, as well as FDB’s trusted, clinically validated content, drove our decision to collaborate and help advance Tebra’s broader mission of equipping independent providers with advanced technology to make everyday healthcare operations more efficient and effective.”

Script Agent also supports FDB’s broader prescription intelligence strategy. Once a clinician approves a prescription, FDB Vela™, FDB’s cloud-native ePrescribing network, can help carry it through the next steps of the medication journey, connecting prescribers, payers, pharmacies and patients.

The Tebra deployment of Script Agent marks the first step in FDB’s broader roadmap for AI-powered prescription intelligence, designed to reduce administrative burden while keeping clinicians at the center of prescribing.
