Tagup

Tagup is a defence technology company founded at MIT that applies artificial intelligence to logistics. Its work sits at the intersection of machine learning, predictive maintenance, logistics optimisation and industrial equipment control, with the stated aim of giving military forces and large equipment operators decision advantage in contested environments. The company was co-founded by Jon Garrity and Will Vega-Brown, who met as undergraduates at MIT, and it is funded at Series A stage.

The company's product is Manifest, described as an operating system for the physical world. The platform integrates equipment data to build consolidated equipment records, applies machine-learning models to predict equipment failures before they occur, and directly controls large-scale industrial equipment and logistics systems. The objective is to keep forces supplied, maintained and mission-ready.

Tagup serves defence customers and the world's largest equipment operators across the United States and allied nations. Its work spans defence, military logistics, critical infrastructure, industrial equipment operations, and equipment maintenance and reliability. Technical work focuses on new machine-learning methods and on rethinking logistics superiority, reflecting the founders' interest in efficiency and optimisation.
