“We’re honored to receive this recognition from Frost & Sullivan,” said Sina Afrooze, CEO and Founder at Apera AI. “With Apera 4D Vision systems now deployed across leading global industrial manufacturers, this achievement belongs to our employees and our customers for driving new possibilities in robotic automation.”
Frost & Sullivan applies a rigorous analytical process to evaluate multiple nominees before determining the final award recipient. The process involves a detailed evaluation of best practices criteria across two dimensions—business impact and technology leverage—for each company nominated to its excellence award program.
“The top 1% of the global economy is represented in our community of best practices companies,” said David Frigstad, Chairman at Frost & Sullivan. “Driving innovation and growth is a difficult task made even harder by the strategic imperatives forcing change today, such as disruptive technologies, value chain compression, industry convergence, and new business models. In this context, Apera AI’s award signifies an even greater accomplishment. The company is at the forefront of innovation and growth in the robotic automation software industry.”
With the 2025 Technology Innovation Award, Frost & Sullivan has recognized Apera AI for pioneering 4D vision technology, which combines high-quality 3D stereo vision with AI, “the fourth dimension,” to give industrial robots human-like vision and the power of advanced artificial intelligence. This enables industrial robots to perform complex tasks—such as bin picking, racking, de-racking, assembly, and machine tending—with unmatched precision, speed, and reliability.
Unlike traditional 3D vision systems that often falter in real-world manufacturing, Apera AI’s 4D Vision leverages advanced AI, enabling robots to adapt to shifting bins, changing lighting conditions, worn grippers, and complex part geometry—unlocking robot performance in the most demanding industrial settings.
“Frost & Sullivan lauds Apera AI for tackling key industry challenges, like micro stops and external triggers, such as lighting and vibrations, that cause delays and impact robot reliability,” said Karthik Sundaram, Research Director, Digital Industry Accelerator at Frost & Sullivan. “Its ability to handle intricate and challenging objects effectively underscores the company’s leadership in advanced vision-guided robotics solutions.”
The company’s flagship solutions, Apera Vue and Apera Forge, streamline the deployment of advanced robotic vision, eliminating the need for specialized programming expertise and delivering proven ROI in as little as 60 days for existing robotic installations.
Today, Apera AI is a trusted partner to North America’s top 6 automotive manufacturers, their Tier 1 suppliers, and global manufacturers in electronics, appliances, and other industrial sectors. Its robot-agnostic solutions are helping customers reduce downtime, enhance quality, and boost throughput while extending the capabilities and performance of both industrial and collaborative robots (cobots).

A high school in suburban Chicago was awarded a grant to implement AI-powered gun detection technology.
Oak Lawn Community High School District 229 was one of 50 recipients selected nationwide for the Omnilert Secure Schools Grant Program, the school said in a recent announcement.
The district was awarded a three-year license for Omnilert Gun Detect, an “advanced AI-powered gun detection technology” — at no cost.
The AI system identifies firearms “in real-time through existing security camera infrastructure,” the announcement said.
Once a potential threat is identified, the AI system activates a rapid response process by alerting school officials and law enforcement, ultimately ensuring that threats can be addressed “as quickly and effectively as possible,” the announcement said.
The implementation of the AI system aligns with District 229’s security strategy, that includes a combination of physical safety measures, emergency preparedness and mental health resources, the announcement said.
The school said staff training and safety drills will be done to ensure the technology is used effectively and responsibly.
