Description
SmartSpace AI started as a computer vision technology solution. In 2020, we received the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award from the Air Force (AF) and AFWERX SBIR Phase II award follow-on once funding becomes available. We quickly learned that cameras alone are not enough. They can’t be everywhere because they need power, high bandwidth internet access, and costly implementation. We designed and built our smart sensor suite to go where cameras cannot, such as critical machinery, remote parameters, moveable high-value assets, or toxic air in multiple zones. Military operators are now equipped with new capabilities and have omniscience over their environment. It’s like having a sixth sense. Our trackers use cellular, satellite, and mesh technologies to reduce logistic inefficiencies with a suite of sensors for monitoring high-value assets in real-time. SmartSpace AI helps prevent the loss of valuable assets and provides a 360 situational awareness. We teamed with Ateois, an ultra-thin customizable battery, to integrate Powercast’s wireless power technology to create the most advanced IoT devices in the market. This innovation will enable batteries lasting up to a 25-year life span (10 times longer than competing solutions) because they can be charged with radiofrequency.
