Guardian Optical Technologies

Guardian Optical Technologies, founded in 2015, specializes in advanced in-cabin sensor technology for the automotive industry. The company's core product is a patent-protected sensor that integrates 2D, 3D, and motion analysis to monitor the entire vehicle cabin. This technology enables precise detection of occupancy, distinguishing between still objects and living beings by detecting subtle movements such as a beating heart. The sensor also supports advanced driver monitoring, including grip type classification and hands-on-wheel detection, enhancing driver safety.

Guardian Optical Technologies serves automotive manufacturers and suppliers, providing them with a single sensor solution that replaces multiple traditional sensors. The market it operates in is the automotive safety and driver assistance systems sector, which is experiencing significant growth due to increasing safety regulations and consumer demand for advanced safety features.

The business model is based on selling its sensor technology to automotive manufacturers and suppliers, who integrate it into their vehicles. Revenue is generated through direct sales of the sensors and potentially through licensing agreements for the patented technology.
