| CRON Systems was founded in 2015 to cater to the complex security problems at the Indian borders. Our founding team spent the initial months at the field to understand the customer pain-points. We realised that the fragmented sensing solutions’ market was overpopulated with sensors that were nothing near field ready. To take these to the field, onewould have to invest in numerous integrations, time and engineering resources. We decided to build to fill the void that these myopic sensors left in the market. In our effort to provide intelligent sensing that integrates multiple sensors, was weather and terrain agnostic, we developed CRON’s very own Smart Sensor Fusion platform. This platform is designed to flawlessly fuse data from different types of sensors. Simply put, it combines the information from multiple sensors to help perceive the environment and if/when one sensor is compromised by the terrain or the weather conditions, another sensor jumps into action. With little to no false alarms, accurate object/human detection, tracking and classification our advanced suite of products and technology solutions are designed to augment situational awareness i.e. makes you fully aware of the environment around you.What started as a venture to secure our hostile borders has now become a quest to build a more robust sensor platform that will ensure the integration of multiple different sensors with ease, thereby transforming the way sensing works today. | $4M / Series A / May 11, 2021 | ||
