Interview with Avi Bakal, Co-Founder and CEO of TriEye, discussing their Short-Wave Infrared company based on CMOS technology
TriEye, a pioneering company specializing in mass-market and CMOS-based Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) sensing solutions, has made a significant stride in the technology industry. Founded by Avi Bakal, who holds a Master's Degree in Applied Physics and a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a specialization in Applied Physics, TriEye has developed groundbreaking technology that is set to reshape the future of advanced imaging and sensing solutions.
Bakal, with his deep technical background in photonics and semiconductors, leveraged his expertise as CEO and co-founder of TriEye. Under his leadership, the company developed the world's-first cost-effective CMOS-based SWIR sensing solutions, aiming to enhance machine perception in challenging conditions.
TriEye's innovative approach has led to the development of two new hardware components: an HD CMOS-based SWIR sensor and a high-peak power SWIR laser. These advancements, coupled with partnerships with leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, have enabled the company to shorten time to market and ensure a strong product-market fit.
The company's latest achievement is the release of the TES200, its first commercial product. This image sensor, designed for machine vision and robotic applications, is ideal for use in warehouse logistics, smart farming, industrial sorting, robotics, and biometrics. The TES200 sensor supports precision agriculture, optimizing crop management, reducing resource waste, and improving recycling systems.
TriEye's technology enables cost-effective, high-resolution image data and depth perception in all weather and lighting conditions. This breakthrough allows TriEye to leverage SWIR imaging and sensing for both industrial machine vision solutions and autonomous depth sensing and ranging systems.
Beyond automotive, SWIR technology is driving advancements in fields like smart farming, healthcare, public safety, and environmental monitoring. In the automotive sector, TriEye is working with Magna to deliver automotive-grade SEDAR (Spectrum Enhanced Detection And Ranging). This new platform, made possible by TriEye's semiconductor and photonics technology, promises to revolutionize the way vehicles perceive their surroundings.
TriEye's success is a testament to its collective effort, and true success comes from working together. The company has secured over $120 million of funding from top-tier investors, demonstrating the versatility and value of its solutions in solving real-world challenges.
From its humble beginnings to its current position as a leader in the SWIR industry, TriEye's journey has been filled with innovation, growth, and collaboration. The company remains committed to delivering groundbreaking technology and shaping the future of advanced imaging and sensing solutions.
The groundbreaking technology developed by TriEye, under the leadership of Avi Bakal, is set to reshape not only the automotive industry with their work on SEDAR, but also advancements in fields such as finance, transportation, healthcare, public safety, and environmental monitoring, thanks to data-and-cloud-computing and artificial-intelligence applications. TriEye's innovation in SWIR technology, demonstrated by the TES200 sensor, not only revolutionizes machine vision and robotics but also agriculture, as it supports precision agriculture and reduces resource waste. The company's success has secured over $120 million of funding from top-tier investors, showcasing the versatility and value of its solutions in solving real-world challenges across multiple industries.
