Rapta Secures $8 Million to Automate Defense and Aerospace Production

Lake Oswego-based Rapta has raised $8 million to expand its AI-driven manufacturing intelligence platform, targeting industries where precision is paramount. The funding round, co-led by Voyager Capital and Access Venture Partners, aims to dismantle the data silos that currently hinder production efficiency and quality control across major defense and aerospace supply chains.

The capital infusion arrives as Rapta scales its computer vision and intelligence software, which is already utilized by half of the top ten U.S. defense primes. By unifying fragmented production data into a single, traceable record, the platform allows manufacturers to modernize legacy systems without requiring expensive re-platforming. This approach directly addresses the manual documentation errors and process bottlenecks that frequently lead to cost overruns.

As part of the expansion, Diane Fraiman of Voyager Capital and Kirk Holland of Access Venture Partners have joined the company’s board. The platform provides real-time quality verification and work instructions directly on the assembly floor, a necessity for firms like TRAK TECOM, which relies on the technology to maintain visibility and efficiency in mission-critical defense manufacturing. By automating the tracking of parts and operator actions, the company aims to solidify its role in strengthening American industrial capacity.
