Our company was founded in 1991 by university lecturers and collaborators of the Ilmenau University of Technology, an internationally renowned university. We have long-term experience in the field of image processing and image recognition, as well as in the installation of image-processing applications in the most various fields. In close cooperation with the sub-department Lighting engineering of the Ilmenau university, we have developed image-resolving light and colour measuring devices for both laboratory applications and industrial automation. This measurement technique, which is being applied in the development and manufacture of luminous and illuminated devices such as displays, headlamps and luminaires, has become the industrial standard in the automotive industry just as in the supplier industry.Since 1991, we have been developing, together with Prof. Riemann, near-field goniophotometers for lamps and luminaires which have successfully been used by lamp and LED manufacturers as well as by luminaire manufacturers all over the world since 1995.In the field of the 2D- and 3D-measuring technique, the TechnoTeam company has contributed to major novel developments in the framework of several joint research projects. Thus, we are well able to help solve customer problems.

TruTag Technologies, Inc. on-product authentication solution directly and covertly marks products to provide a powerful business information and security tool for global manufacturers of products and components. Specifically, our technology addresses the problems of counterfeiting, product diversion, returns monitoring, quality control and product recalls in advanced industries such as pharmaceutical and nutraceutical and secure labels and documents. Make sure that you have the right product, in the right place, at the right time with TruTag microtags (“TruTags®”).TruTags are made of silicon dioxide, or silica, a material that has been affirmed as “generally recognized as safe” by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Each TruTag is encoded with an optical signature that is secure and edible, and can be mixed into a coating or polymer.TruTag’s authentication technology is distinctive in that each TruTag contains a custom-manufactured spectral signature chosen from millions of possibilities, yet each high-volume item can be labeled cost-effectively, making widespread tracking of individual items feasible. The microtags are manufactured without additives or markers and does not interact or interfere with other ingredients.

Based on IP developed jointly at Lawrence Livermore and UC Davis, the MUSE (Microscopy with Ultraviolet Sectioning Excitation) Microscope uses short-wavelength UV light which penetrates only microns-deep into tissue eliminating the need for precision-cut, thin specimens and even slides. In addition, short-wavelength UV light excites many fluorescent dyes simultaneously, for snap-shot color images. The result is stunning detailed images conveying a degree of resolution, structure and depth unachievable until now by any single technologySample preparation is simplified from hours to minutes with a process that does not required trained personnel, organic solvents or related expense. The technique does not alter samples, is non-destructive and thus preserves valuable tissue for molecular studies. Moreover, MUSE Microscope images offer a large field of view for whole-slide-like digital imaging capability and can be easily and quickly formatted through application software to provide familiar, H&E appearance, with diagnostic-quality, subcellular detail to allow easy transition for pathologists used to viewing standard slides.
