What Cerrion does
Cerrion helps manufacturers automatically detect, understand and eliminate problems on their production lines using video-based Computer Vision. Our AI leverages standard CCTV cameras and learns how a manufacturing process looks like when things are going well and can automatically detect and track problems in real-time. For example, one of our customers, a Pepsi supplier producing 500 bottles per minute now automatically detects and reacts to a fallen bottle before it starts blocking their production line.

Video AI to detect and respond to production line issues
We build AI that uses standard CCTV cameras on manufacturing lines to watch processes and detect any problems automatically, like a fallen bottle before it causes a blockage. Our system learns what normal production looks like and signals line workers in real-time to prevent slowdowns and defects.
We currently live and work in Zürich, Switzerland, and plan to remain based there after YC.
Our deep ties to the Swiss manufacturing industry and existing customer base make Zürich the best place for us. The talent and client connections are crucial for how we build and sell our product.
