HERADO Joins the Siemens Cre8Ventures Digital Twin Marketplace

Advancing Sovereign Real-Time Radiation Intelligence for Dual-Use Autonomy

Siemens Cre8Ventures is pleased to announce that HERADO has joined our sovereign Digital Twin Marketplace.

HERADO brings something rare to the ecosystem: the world’s first and only multi-radiation real-time protection system, combining patented dosimetry hardware with IoT, SaaS and AI-driven analytics.

This strengthens our GNSS-denied Navigation & Perception subsystem campaign for dual-use drones and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), where mission assurance, safety and sovereignty must be designed in from the start.


What HERADO Does

Radiation is invisible. Its impact is not.

HERADO has developed a patented real-time dosimeter capable of detecting:

  • X-rays
  • Gamma rays
  • Neutrons
  • Electrons
  • Heavy ions

Across a wide energy range — without recalibration or dose saturation.

Unlike passive or delayed monitoring systems, HERADO provides:

  • Instant detection
  • Real-time data streaming
  • AI-driven anomaly alerts
  • Predictive exposure modelling

This transforms radiation protection from retrospective compliance into live operational intelligence.

HERADO’s system has already demonstrated credibility across healthcare and space ecosystems, including deployments linked to NASA Artemis-1 and leading global institutions.


HERADO’s Unique Advantage

1. Real-Time, Multi-Radiation Detection
Live operational data across multiple radiation types in a single device.

2. Data as a Strategic Asset
HERADO generates real-time radiation datasets that feed AI models, mission dashboards and digital twin environments.

3. Compliance + Sovereign Alignment
Built to meet international standards, including EU and NATO-aligned frameworks — critical where sovereign supply chains and trusted subsystems are non-negotiable.


Strengthening the GNSS-Denied Drone Campaign

Our reference subsystem architecture integrates sovereign sensing, secure compute, AI vision and cryptographic integrity.

HERADO enriches this architecture in two critical ways:

Mission-Level Environmental Awareness

Radiation awareness becomes relevant in:

  • ISR missions near compromised infrastructure
  • CBRN-adjacent operations
  • Defence and civil resilience scenarios
  • High-risk industrial inspection zones

HERADO introduces real-time radiation telemetry into the mission digital twin, enabling:

  • Exposure modelling before deployment
  • Subsystem trade-off analysis (power, compute, thermal)
  • Early-stage integration stress testing

Subsystem Validation Before Silicon

Our workshop model quantifies drift, latency, power and security interactions at subsystem level — before silicon and before flight.

HERADO’s sensor stream can now be digitally represented and evaluated within:

  • Navigation fusion stacks
  • Secure messaging layers
  • Compute envelope constraints
  • SWaP-limited platforms

This shifts radiation awareness from bolt-on hardware to validated subsystem intelligence.


Extending into AMR & Industrial Automation

Industrial environments introduce:

  • Nuclear and energy sites
  • Medical facilities
  • Hazardous material zones
  • High-value compliance environments

HERADO strengthens the AMR campaign by enabling:

  • Worker safety optimisation
  • Real-time compliance evidence
  • Reduced liability exposure
  • Data-driven operational assurance

This is not “add a sensor.”
It is embedding sovereign safety intelligence into the autonomy stack.
