kierwhite and GrahamShips launched Mantle, an AI-native maintenance provider for America's industrial machines and robots, arguing that building machines is no longer the bottleneck—keeping them running is. The service is live across the US with multiple customers and 250+ technicians. Mantle offers flat monthly-fee field service covering humanoid robots, robot arms, CNC machines, AMRs, quadrupeds, 3D printers and more, with local technicians trained on each individual unit, parts depots, and per-unit visit analysis fed back to customers' product and engineering teams. It also targets overseas OEMs shipping autonomous machines into the US without a domestic service team.
