Failures and risks are identified and brought to the client’s attention, which enables them to preserve the integrity of their assets. Kauel is currently led by Founder and CEO Edmundo Casas, who has been awarded Most Influential Technology Innovation CEO, Texas, in the Most Influential CEO Awards 2023. Here, we take a look at Kauel’s services and success. he addition of technology into the processes of any organisation is crucial for its development and improvement. Any business can become more efficient with the use of AI. Kauel delivers unique AI solutions that help companies increase productivity, reduce costs, access data quickly, improve security, generate alarms, and predict trends, enabling them to stay one step ahead of their competitors. With Kauel, adopting new technology will not be a cumbersome process. The company can connect its solutions to the platforms that the client already uses, making the process as easy and simple as it can be. CEO Edmundo Casas and his team have successfully applied technology in order to automate inspection processes with artificial vision. Using computer vision electronics, synthetic aperture radars, penetrating radars, multi-spectral cameras, and more, Kauel allows organisations to observe assets and process images to obtain incredible results. Its artificial intelligence system allows clients to take pictures, process them, generate a three-dimensional model of the asset, then detect failures. Kauel’s technology can be used for the monitoring and protection of assets, construction of threedimensional structures for the review of assets, generation of 3D spaces for the construction of metaverses in training, calculation of immediate dimensions, recognition of object types and quantities, and calculation of volume for load optimisation or material sizing. Furthermore, it can be used to identify construction progress, monitor compliance with safety regulations, detect people’s movements, construct heat maps to determine displacements in different areas, and recognise various faces. Impressively, its technology can also be used to analyse the vibrations of industrial or other elements. It has the sensitivity to detect the pulsations of a baby’s heart and the vibrations of an engine. Kauel’s story begins in 2004 when Edmundo Casas, a recent graduate in Electronic Engineering from a university in Chile, started selling equipment for physics laboratories in schools, naming the start-up Colt Power Ideas. Within four years, Edmundo had invited his friend Cristian Romero, another Electronic Engineer, to join as co-founder. Together they began to focus on developing innovative technology for entertainment, culture, and educational purposes. In 2010, Colt gained its first investors. This was when Alejandra Mustakis joined the company, who was a key contributor in its growth. The same year, Colt changed its Mar23183 T name to Kauel, which means “foal” in Mapudungun. Kauel then released its hologram pyramid, an invention made with one of its patents, which achieved great success in the marketing industry and was awarded Best Invention of the Year by the Chilean Ministry of Economy. In 2012, Kauel’s kinetic technology was awarded the President of the Republic Award for Most Innovative Development. This, in combination with its other developments, placed the company at the centre of innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship in the USA. Since then, it has continued to receive recognition from various institutions, including the Chamber of Commerce and ProChile. By 2015, Kauel had decided to take a new strategic path, directing its high-value solutions towards the service, power supply, oil, mining, retail, and health sectors. This resulted in further interest in the company.
