Extended Intelligence at the Edge.
Scentroid builds distributed AI sensing platforms that deliver real-time situational awareness to extend human intelligence at the tactical edge.
Distributed by design
No single point of failure.
Built for context
Operates in denied and degraded environments.
AI at the edge
Fast decisions. No cloud dependency.
Mission focused
Intelligence when and where it matters most.
WHO WE ARE
Scentroid is a proudly Canadian dual-use technology company. We believe AI should extend rather than replace human intelligence and decision-making.
WHAT WE BUILD
Multi-Modal AI Sensor Fusion, in confident outputs.
Our XI platforms integrate multi-modal AI sensor fusion into airborne, dropped, and wearable sensing hardware to produce confident, user-friendly outputs.

Extended Intelligence (XI)
XIcore builds AI platforms that extend human intelligence. Every output carries a confidence score. Every alert is interpretable. Every decision remains with the operator.
Distributed Edge AI
Every node is independently intelligent. Inference runs locally; no cloud dependency, no single point of failure, no latency at the moment of decision.
Swarm Fusion
Nodes correlate data across the network to produce threat tracks, plume maps, and movement vectors that no single sensor could generate alone.

The XICore Engine
The intelligence layer that transforms distributed sensors into human-ready decisions, with confidence scores, human-in-the-loop controls, and privacy-preserving architecture built in from the ground up.
WHERE XICORE OPERATES
Built for contested
environments.
XIcore platforms operate where connectivity is denied, threats are complex, and failure is not an option.
01
Defense and Military
Persistent battlespace awareness and force protection.
02
Reconnaissance
Long-duration unattended sensor networks in forward terrain.
03
Critical Infrastructure
Perimeter and asset protection for high-value facilities.
04
Border and Coastal
Wide-area unattended ground sensor networks.
05
Major Events
Venue-scale CBRN, RF, and visual threat monitoring.
06
Disaster Response

Scentroid UrbanScanner US20
Street-Level Intelligence at City Scale
UrbanScanner US20 transformed vehicles into mobile sensing platforms capable of building high-resolution environmental intelligence across the Greater Toronto Area. Combining LiDAR mapping, geospatial analytics, and multi-pollutant sensing, the platform generated street-level digital representations of urban environments while continuously monitoring air quality and infrastructure conditions. The resulting datasets enabled municipalities and researchers to better understand pollution sources, traffic patterns, and environmental health through real-time spatial analysis.
Dubai Municipality DIgital Twin
Turning a City into a Living Operational Picture
Working with Dubai Municipality, SIMS3 provided the foundation for a city-scale digital twin capable of integrating distributed sensor networks into a unified operational picture. Environmental conditions, infrastructure performance, and emerging threats were transformed into actionable intelligence within a single platform. Through targeted alerts, anomaly detection, and real-time analytics, the system enabled decision-makers to identify concerns early and respond with precision across one of the world’s most advanced smart cities.
FIFA Stadium Toronto
Connecting Legacy Systems for Real-Time Decision Advantage
For major sporting venues in Toronto, SUMA provided a modern integration layer that connected legacy systems and disparate sensing technologies into the SIMS platform. By ingesting and correlating data from multiple sources, the platform delivered real-time situational awareness and confidence-scored intelligence to emergency personnel and first responders. The result was a unified operational picture that enhanced response times and enabled informed decision-making during high-consequence public events.
WHO WE ARE
