What's the endgame? SPANR is a unified data layer for the industrial frontline. It connects devices from different manufacturers, normalises their data, and applies AI-powered insight so teams can act in real time on worker safety, gas detection, asset tracking, and inspections.
The platform, which is SOC 2 Type II audited, is used by more than 300 enterprises across the US, Canada, and Europe, and by safety teams protecting more than 80,000 workers. Customers include Fortune 500 firms in energy, aerospace, logistics, construction, and advanced manufacturing.
Why now? "Industrial companies are sitting on more data than ever, spread across devices, systems and sites that were never designed to talk to each other," said Praveer Kumar, co-founder and chief executive officer of Aatmunn. The company wants to put SPANR in front of more frontline operations.
