TaoWeave's Manako Labs goes live at 124 unmanned Avia Xpress fuel stations in France
TaoWeave, Inc.
- Manako Labs' Vision Agents now run around the clock across a first wave of 124 unmanned Avia Xpress stations; Avia Thévenin-Ducrot named Manako its lead Physical AI design partner.
- TaoWeave invested in Manako in June 2026 and holds North American commercialization rights, participating in revenue from licensing agreements the Company originates.
- Agents use each station's existing cameras to detect payment-terminal failures, pump and equipment damage and camera outages, routing issues to repair staff; rollout is running ahead of schedule.
- Avia's French network spans ~770 stations within AVIA International's 3,000+ sites across 15 European countries; CEO Pete Holst cites warehouses and logistics hubs as next applications.
- Release notes AMD's Sept 28, 2026 all-stock agreement to acquire World Labs for ~$8.2B as evidence of growing Physical AI demand.
