Portrait of Zeki Gunay, founder and CEO of CRATUS Technology, Inc., a San Jose engineering and product company
Author
Zeki Gunay
Founder and Chief Executive Officer, CRATUS Technology, Inc.

Zeki Gunay founded CRATUS Technology in 2013 and leads the company from San Jose, California. He works across the full stack CRATUS builds on: LiDAR volume measurement systems for bulk solids, IoT sensing platforms, energy storage and electrification hardware, and industrial automation and safety systems.

Background

CRATUS Technology was founded on a simple observation: industrial operations are full of decisions made on estimates, because measuring the physical world accurately has been too slow, too dangerous, or too expensive. Under Zeki's direction the company builds the hardware and software that closes that gap, from the sensor mounted over a stockpile to the edge unit that publishes volume and weight into a plant's SCADA system.

He works directly with the engineering team on sensor selection, system architecture and field commissioning, and with customers in mining, aggregates, cement, recycling, agriculture and ports on what a measurement has to deliver before it is worth installing.

Areas of focus

  • LiDAR volume measurement and weight estimation for bulk solids
  • Stockpile, silo, conveyor and truck-in-motion measurement systems
  • IoT sensing, edge computing and industrial data integration
  • Energy storage, electrification and power management
  • Industrial automation, machine safety and perception systems
  • Hardware and firmware product development, from prototype to volume production

Writing

Zeki writes about what the CRATUS team sees in the field: where operational practices still put people at risk, where a single number hides the shape of a problem, and the value added when a sensing system replaces an estimate with a multi-dimensional measurement. His articles appear on the CRATUS blog.
