Inferics Gmbh

What Inferics Gmbh does

Inferics GmbH is a privately held German artificial intelligence company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Karlsruhe, with a registered office in Mannheim. The company develops the proprietary inferics® AI platform, a neural-network-based core that enables products, buildings and spaces to perceive and understand situations through intelligent sensors covering posture, gesture, and situation recognition. The platform is protected by European patent EP 3724852 (granted August 2022) and is offered both as IP licensing to OEMs and as the technical foundation for three branded product lines: PatronuSens (intelligent optical 3D emergency sensor for fall, inactivity and immobility detection in elderly care and banking environments), ConciergeEye (compact non-cloud facial recognition unit for access control), and AMiA (autonomous self-driving care robot with telepresence, launched October 2022).

The company operates a B2B enterprise sales model with quote-based multi-year contracts, targeting healthcare and elderly care as its primary vertical, followed by banking and financial services, retail, and industrial occupational safety. It also generates OEM licensing revenue and subscription/recurring revenue from intelligent building solutions. Distribution is handled through direct enterprise sales, a worldwide partner network (3dvisionlabs, KKE Japan, okosu), and OEM embedding of its IP. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped (no external funding rounds disclosed), led by co-founders Prof. Dr. Norbert Link and Dipl.-Phys. Jürgen Pollak as Managing Directors, with senior developer and co-founder M.Sc./Dipl.-Inf. Christoph Schauer. R&D is supported by partnerships with Hochschule Karlsruhe, FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik, and BMBF-funded projects (KARE, Neuromorph, Q-AMeLiA, KInterACT).

Core offering

Inferics develops and licenses the patented inferics AI platform — a neural-network AI core that gives products, buildings, and spaces the ability to perceive and understand situations through intelligent sensors. The platform powers three branded hardware lines: PatronuSens (optical 3D emergency/fall-detection sensor), ConciergeEye (non-cloud facial recognition access control), and AMiA (autonomous AI care robot with telepresence). The company also offers intelligentspaces solutions for residential, work, and public-building environments and licenses its IP to OEMs for embedding into partner products.

Product overview

Inferics GmbH offers a platform-plus-products architecture centered on the patented inferics AI platform — a neural-network-based AI core that intelligizes products, buildings, and spaces. The platform is offered as a licensed IP to OEMs and powers three branded product lines: PatronuSens (3D optical emergency/fall sensor, available in standard and compact eco variants), ConciergeEye (facial recognition access control unit), and AMiA (autonomous AI-driven care robot). All products share the inferics AI platform as their common intelligent core and are complemented by an ecosystem of intelligent space solutions for residential, work, and public building environments.

Direct peers

• Robotemi: Manufacturer of the Temi autonomous personal/service robot used in care facilities, hospitality, and senior companionship. Directly comparable to Inferics's AMiA autonomous care-assistant robot in functionality and target buyers.
• Tunstall Healthcare: UK-headquartered telecare and elderly monitoring provider offering pendant, sensor, and platform-based emergency detection. Direct competitor to PatronuSens in ambient assisted living and falls/inactivity detection for seniors and care providers.
• CarePredict: US-based AI-powered wearable and analytics platform for senior living, detecting changes in daily activity to flag health decline. Overlaps with PatronuSens's continuous activity and anomaly-detection use case for elderly populations.
• EarlySense: Israel/US-based developer of contact-free patient monitoring sensors (under-mattress piezoelectric) used in hospitals and assisted living for falls, inactivity, and vitals. Directly overlaps with PatronuSens's contactless safety-monitoring value proposition in institutional care.
• VergeSense: US-based AI occupancy-sensing and people-counting platform for offices and retail. Overlaps with Inferics's intelligent spaces offering and PatronuSens's people-counting and queue-length capabilities in commercial real estate.
• Cognitec Systems: Dresden-based face recognition vendor serving border control, law enforcement, and commercial access applications. Directly comparable to ConciergeEye on facial recognition technology, EU presence, and privacy-conscious positioning.

Emerging players

• BrainChip: Australia/US-listed neuromorphic AI chip company focused on always-on, low-power edge intelligence. Comparable technology direction to Inferics's neuromorphic vision R&D, with similar target applications in smart sensors and IoT.
• Hailo: Israel-based edge AI processor company enabling on-device inference for vision and sensor products. Comparable business model of embedding AI at the edge and enabling similar smart-camera/sensor applications across verticals.
• Butlr Technologies: US-based AI people-sensing platform using low-resolution thermal sensors for occupancy, posture, and activity analytics in buildings. Overlaps with Inferics's intelligent spaces offering on gesture/posture recognition and people-counting.

Broad incumbents

• Securitas Healthcare (Stanley Healthcare): Major healthcare technology vendor within Securitas, offering RTLS, wander management, and senior living solutions. Wider portfolio than PatronuSens but directly competes for assisted-living monitoring budgets with established incumbent relationships.
