Crodeon

Over the past five years Crodeon has evolved from two people with an idea into a real company with innovative technology and a loyal customer base. Last year we noticed our start-up was really taking off and the opportunity in the market was growing. That’s when we realised that it was time for the next step. Today we are glad to announce that Crodeon has completed a seed funding round of 600.000 euros at the end of 2020.

The coronavirus hits almost every sector directly or indirectly. This is definitely the case for schools. In order to remain open, teachers and principals do everything they can to ensure proper ventilation for students. Unfortunately, this leads to a significant increase in heating costs. One solution is to measure the CO2 levels and temperatures in classrooms, in an attempt to keep the heating bill under control.

Research organisations often rely on data to search for the next breakthrough discovery. Data logging however, can be a painful process where finding and setting up the right components takes valuable time, especially outdoors or when wireless connectivity is involved.

Busy times at Crodeon. We recently hired two more developers to accelerate our growth. Each of them will play a key role at our company, so they definitely deserve an introduction.

IoT is about ecosystems. That's a message we've been spreading for a while now. Today we are excited to announce a new partnership with delaware, one of Belgium's finest IT service companies. 

Crodeon takes Internet of Things to a new level and is proud to announce the launch of its online store. The shop features an overview of the devices, kits, sensors and accessories that we offer and lets you order anything in just a few clicks. We ship to 32 European countries, with many more coming in the near future.

As you may have noticed, since last month the Crodeon logo got a slight facelift. Our first logo was designed in May 2015 so it was time for something new. Nevertheless we wanted to keep the general style and color palette as much as possible similar to how it was, for obvious strategic purposes.

In order to monitor the effects of the Total Value Wall in several test locations in Flanders, Crodeon was asked to provide remote sensing hardware. The first three locations are up and running; the results already look promising.

Getting started with IoT can be hard. Compared to classic software or hardware projects, IoT is hard because there’s multiple different domains involved: hardware, networking, connectivity and software. In each of these domains there will be hurdles to overcome, which is why many IoT projects fail or face budget overruns.

Since a couple of weeks the new generation Crodeon Reporter is available for sale. The device comes with a few very attractive features compared to its predecessor. Several units are already in the field, and the first feedback appears to be very positive.

In December 2018 a group purchase of the Crodeon Reporter for Irrigation Monitoring was organized by Ingro CVBA (the association of industrial vegetable growers) and Inero CVBA. Eventually a total of thirty growers signed in on the offer, for a total order of 31 Reporters. This was a one-time initiative to increase the public awareness of the system.

From 6th to 8th of February Crodeon attended Indumation 2019. The goal was to position Crodeon even more as an interesting partner of industrial companies and the manufacturing business.
