Cerrion
AI video agents that cut factory downtime in real time
About Cerrion
Cerrion is a Zurich industrial AI company founded in 2021 by Karim Saleh and Nikolay Kobyshev that builds video AI agents for manufacturing lines to detect process, quality and safety issues in real time and help operators respond faster. Agents monitor live cameras, trigger alerts or machine slowdowns, and surface highlighted clips so teams can cut downtime and scrap; deployments span glass, food, timber and CPG makers including Unilever, Riedel and Verallia across three continents. In November 2025 Cerrion raised €15.6 million ($18 million) Series A led by Creandum with Y Combinator, Goat Capital, 10x Founders, Session VC and angels including Harry Stebbings and Thomas Wolf, to double headcount in Europe and the US and expand beyond vision.
