Magnitude Space: global satellite network for IoT sensors
Since November 2017, a minisatellite from Dutch soil has been orbiting the earth. Its function: to provide a global network for Internet of Things sensors. The satellite communicates via the UHF band and helps companies monitor their products or shipments. But it also offers solutions for farmers: farmers in Africa now always know exactly which cow is grazing where.
Tryst Energy: IoT powered by solar energy
If it were up to Tryst Energy, companies with IoT and SmartCity solutions would never have to worry about batteries and battery life again. Light Energy, a solar cell the size of a postage stamp, uses solar energy extremely efficiently and only needs 200 lux of light to allow IoT devices with motion sensors to communicate with the internet 24 hours a day. That light requirement is particularly low: even under a desk chair, more light can be found.
Delft Robotics: smart robots with 3D Vision
This startup believes that boring, repetitive, and heavy work should be done by robots. Therefore, Delft Robotics has built deep learning software that can control robots using 3D Vision. The self-learning software works so accurately that tasks in the manufacturing industry and agriculture can now be robotized.
Accerion: positioning technology for robots
With the positioning technology Accerion, robots can effortlessly find their way without crashing into obstacles. The technology works infrastructure-free and has mapped the layout after one trial run. The sensor technology ensures that the robot does not come into contact with obstacles or people.
IC3D Media: makes learning fun again
People learn better when they are motivated, and those who game are generally motivated. By combining these two elements, you have the ideal learning method. Knowingo is a customizable quiz app with questions about, for example, product information, company policy, or compliance. The underlying system is so smart that it learns how the user absorbs knowledge and adjusts the learning path accordingly.
BeSense: intelligent building management
How do you improve the quality of cleaning services without increasing costs? By bringing together facility management, real estate, and IoT. BeSense is an initiative from three organizations that aim to make buildings cleaner with the eponymous concept. It does this by equipping buildings with sensors that collect real-time information about occupancy and calculate the level of pollution. This allows cleaners to skip unused desks and restrooms and work more effectively.
All the tech startups in this article participated in the Accenture Innovation Awards last year.
