NanoSniff has partnered with Vehant Technologies, a pioneer in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning- based physical security, surveillance and traffic monitoring and junction enforcement solutions. Union Education Minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal'Nishank' has launched NanoSniffer, a Microsensor based Explosive Trace Detector (ETD) developed by NanoSniff Technologies, an IIT Bombay incubated startup. NanoSniffer has been marketed by Vehant Technologies, a company that was incubated at IIT Delhi as a startup in 2005. A 100 per cent'Made in India' product in terms of research, development & manufacturing, the core technology of NanoSniffer is protected by patents in the US and Europe. Given the constant threats, which our nation faces due to geo-political realities, explosives and contraband detection has become a norm at high security locations like airports, railways and metro stations, hotels, malls and other public places.

While each country is working its way around curbing the outbreak of the Coronavirus through quarantines, lock-downs, social distancing and more, technologies like Artificial Intelligence are becoming beyond useful to monitor and respond to the crisis. Artificial Intelligence has assisted in various ways to fight COVID-19, including diagnosis of the disease, accelerated research, development of drugs, and vaccinations out of the many. However, considering that social distancing has been recognised as a fundamental measure to slow down the spread of the pandemic, an Indian tech company has developed a thermal-vision AI-powered camera that not only measures forehead temperatures but also detects facemask and social distancing violations. Developed by Vehant Technologies -- a pioneer in AIML based physical security, surveillance and traffic monitoring solutions, FebriEye deals with a thermal screening system specifically created with analytics that monitor facemask and social distancing. This AI-powered camera will prove to be useful at entrances to public events, airports, metro stations, manufacturing plants, buildings, hotels, commercial complexes, shopping malls, as well as gated societies.
