Our Scentroid team, including Dr. Ardevan Bakhtari and Craig Loucks, attended CANSEC 2026 to engage with defence leaders, technology innovators, military stakeholders, and industry partners from across Canada and around the world.

The event provided an excellent opportunity to explore emerging advancements in autonomous systems, situational awareness platforms, unmanned technologies, AI-enabled decision support, and next-generation sensing solutions. Our team met with organizations developing cutting-edge land, air, and maritime technologies while discussing how advanced environmental intelligence, CBRNE monitoring, and real-time sensor integration can support future defence operations.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to meet with us. We look forward to continuing the conversations!

The Scentroid Airborne Lead Analyzer is helping industries detect and quantify airborne lead and other heavy metals in near real-time using advanced XRF technology. From construction and mining to manufacturing and shooting ranges, facilities can now identify hazardous metal exposure within minutes instead of waiting days for laboratory results.

Our system continuously samples ambient air, analyzes metal concentrations automatically, and streams live data directly to SIMS3 for remote monitoring, alarms, reporting, and compliance management.

Detectable metals include:

• Lead (Pb)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Arsenic (As)
• Chromium (Cr)
• Nickel (Ni)
• Mercury (Hg)
• Copper (Cu)
• And many more

With analysis costs under $2 per sample and automated operation, Scentroid is changing how organizations approach occupational safety and environmental compliance.
