Recently Schogini Systems has successfully developed and tested an Augmented reality siren (ARS) that can detect dam fissures, can be used at unmanned railway crossings and also out at sea.[15][16]
The mobile application showcased by the company at 'Surakshaayanam' - international workshop on disaster reduction and contingency planning organized by Government of Kerala - can send warning signals to even distant places, if a fissure is found on the surface. The solar-powered wireless system can be used as a mobile application and also as a separate equipment in strategic areas. In case of a major disaster, it is often difficult to find out the details of the victims. A QR code developed by the company can include the entire information about the victims and casualties.[17]
Schogini Systems has won the fourth place in 'Surakshaayanam'. The stall was evaluated by Dr. Murali Thummarukudy, Chief, Disaster Risk Reduction, United Nations Environment Programme, Geneva, 1219, Switzerland.

The company is into creating interactive and educational mobile applications and has re-introduced intelligent games like chess and Khet into the sphere.[2]
Schogini Systems has appointed FIDE-ranked chess player Mohammed Salih, who is blind by birth, as their "Brand ambassador - Intelligent Interfaces". This is an attempt to take intelligent gaming strategies to teens and youngsters who are fast turning addicts to dumb and blood-thirsty games.[19][20][21][22]
As part of the new strategy, Salih challenged laser game Khet's inventor Luke Hooper for a game, at the Schogini office at Leela Inforpark, on the Technopark campus. Salih lost the match 1-0. Commenting on the game, Luke Hooper said that Salih had put up a brave fight before he lost the game, which lasted more than an hour.[19]
