Our Team

Our team consists of highly qualified scientists from the fields of electrical engineering, computer science, and industrial engineering. Thus, we are able to cover the entire range of services, from conceptual design and development of initial prototypes to support from pre-series to product launch, together with or for our project partners.

Our team is supplemented on the one hand by the strong assistance of scientific assistants from the surrounding universities, such as the TU Dortmund, the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, and the Ruhr-University Bochum, and on the other hand by the competence of the entire Fraunhofer family.
