Solve. Invent. Innovate.
We began our journey by pioneering the shift toward enterprise-grade touchscreen solutions through the development of our foundational and patented ShadowSense™ technology.
Founded on innovation, Baanto International Ltd. originated in Mississauga, Canada within Nytric Ltd., an R&D and product consulting firm. Eighteen years ago, Av Utukuri of Nytric kick-started a vision of turning innovative ideas into successful products by providing R&D expertise, conceptualizing inventions, and ultimately manufacturing original technology.
Nytric observing its history of successful products determined it was time to develop a product of its own design. An internal competition gave rise to ShadowSense, a unique optical positioning solution which established a brand new category of touch technology. ShadowSense quickly became known for its unrivaled responsiveness, robustness, and ability to detect object size and shape, capturing the attention of many major electronics firms. As a result, Baanto was established in 2009 to continue to push the boundaries of touch interactivity.
Since its conception Baanto has been granted 27 patents and has over 76 filed across 9 different patent families. It has fostered various partner and integrator relationships and attained a global presence. Today Baanto has launched several industry-leading solutions using ShadowSense technology and prides itself not only on innovative product, but also outstanding customer service and support.
