Hachid

Hachid (founded in 2013) is a young high-tech spinoff of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology  KAUST 

Our key competence is reliable, robust and scalable crowd management. Our technology (patent pending) allows authorities and planners to count extremely dense crowds reliably and effortlessly. Our sensors can be used to monitor crowd flow through doors, and they can be deployed outdoors and in harsh climates 

By utilizing local processing on each sensor and wireless communication, our solution can scale to large sensor networks. Measuring exactly where needed, we can count the amount of people in controlled areas accurately and reliably 

Our founding team consists of four members, including two computer scientists, one electrical engineer and one civil engineer. Together, our team as a combined experience of 50 years in the fields of Visual Computing, Computer Vision, and Hajj Research
