From research to practical application

Latest solutions suited for industry

Karlsruhe is a center of high technology. Here, conditions are excellent for developing innovative solutions on a scientific basis. Therefore, from the beginning, ci-tec relied on direct exchange with researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, who are highly interested in translating their scientific findings into industrially relevant solutions.

Many innovations in the optimization of processes controlled based on infrared and video images result from ci-tec’s close cooperation with industrial users. Practical experience gained in the industry is incorporated in further developments, e. g., the inspect pro control software and fed back directly to the researchers. At the interfaces of thermal process technology, infrared camera and sensor technologies, and automatic control technology, successful collaborations with strong industry partners accelerate the development of solutions suited for the industry.
