About Azena

Azena is a Bosch IoT startup that does for security cameras what Android did for smartphones: various manufacturers operate their IP cameras with the free Azena OS. Customers can then flexibly equip and upgrade these smart cameras with AI-powered video analytics apps from the application store. While cameras were previously useful for only a few predetermined tasks, they can now be configured as needed for all kinds of use cases. These range from security and safety scenarios like fire or weapon detection, to automation topics like license plate recognition or compliance applications such as detecting face masks, to analyzing customer behavior in retail.

ARCIS

ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.
