TaoWeave, Inc. announced that Manako Labs Ltd., a Physical AI company in which TaoWeave invested in June 2026, has gone live commercially with Avia Thévenin-Ducrot, a fuel retail group operating Avia stations in France (SEC EDGAR 8-K (AI)). Manako's Vision Agents now run around the clock across a first wave of 124 unmanned Avia Xpress stations, with Avia Thévenin-Ducrot naming Manako its lead Physical AI design partner (SEC EDGAR 8-K (AI)).
The Vision Agents use cameras already installed at each station to detect payment terminal failures, damage to pumps and equipment, and camera outages as they happen, routing each issue to the person who can fix it (SEC EDGAR 8-K (AI)). The platform is built with privacy and security at its core, and raw video footage never leaves the station (SEC EDGAR 8-K (AI)). For commerce practitioners, this deployment demonstrates that Physical AI can be scaled rapidly across live enterprise networks while meeting European privacy and security standards, addressing a challenge shared across warehouses, logistics hubs, retail stores, and critical infrastructure.
The broader Physical AI market is gaining momentum; AMD announced a definitive agreement to acquire World Labs, an AI model and research lab focused on spatial intelligence and robotic learning, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $8.2 billion (SEC EDGAR 8-K (AI)). TaoWeave holds North American commercialization rights to Manako's platform and participates in revenue generated through licensing agreements (SEC EDGAR 8-K (AI)).
