Sourcery · Senra Systems' $65M Series B: Fixing Aerospace & Defense's Biggest Bottleneck · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah.

Without wire harnessing, nothing turns on.

Thank you.

It was a pleasure.

Thank you.

So I'll show you part of our production facility.

This is only 25% built up.

So everything around us will start having more tables, more machines, more automation over the next few months to really fill out the space.

And we plan to be almost at 100% capacity by the end of the year too.

So starting off here as a dedicated production line for one of our defense customers, we're building actually 4,000 plus of a unit weekly.

And this is where Senra did the prototyping early on, stepped into production and be able to scale very quickly after that too.

are each one of these bays a different customer how do you organize it yeah what's really nice about the center method is that each one of these bays is a different customer different harness harnessing it's so high mix in the sense of like you have a spacex rocket and has thousands of unique wire harnesses and now not only do we build for maybe one of those companies but hundreds of them in the future we need to be able to say we can go do a production run and spend a week a month a year on that production line and configure the whole thing in a few hours versus

know weeks or years and be able to do it too so that's why a lot of harness production is you find a few people who do it they just do it over and over again and it's hard for them to go switch to a new product line because all of the tribal knowledge and setup takes so long too so when you see all these different product lines around here at different bays uh we're constantly changing what we're building uh based off of what the customer needs are too so it's being as agile and configuration or configurable as possible for the customer

Yeah, yeah.

So you can see different bays, different groups of automation, but they all look very similar, which is like, if you come back here in two weeks, you'll see an entirely completely different harness being built and we'll ramp up the rate of how we build it and then change a lot of the tooling, fixturing, harnessing programs, but everything's being built on the operating system.

So you look around, most people are building everything with their hands, but the biggest secret sauce is that they're not

looking at a drawing, you're trying to find a tooling or anything too, they're incredibly efficient because the operating system is giving them that perfect recipe and that silver platter instructions every single time too.

So most other companies you might see would actually be here's a piece of paper or the printed out email from a customer and you're kind of pushing the technician to go figure it out and build it without the actual proper resources to do it too.

Yes.

Typically when people start here we get them on more of the simplified systems to get their reps in, but everything is all different shapes and sizes too in the harness world.
