Project description

1 Description

OQmented is a spinoff from Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology ISIT in Itzehoe, Germany. With more than 20 employees, the company is supporting its clients from the automotive and consumer industry. Dr. Ulrich Hofmann and Thomas von Wantoch are the founders who are leading OQmented´s activities in design, development, production and marketing of its unique laser scanning Technology.

2 Innovation

With 25 years of MEMS mirror experience, the company is exclusively commercializing a comprehensive portfolio of patents ranging from concepts & designs to applications and manufacturing. The MEMS based scanning solutions are composed of MEMS chip, driver electronics, application specific system electronics, software and licenses. The patented laser projection display & sensing technology has the broadest  offering in mirror sizes for multiple industries and applications. OQmented has the world’s first MEMS mirrors in AR, LIDAR and 3D cameras ready for commercialization.

3 Market & Risk

The MEMS mirror technology from OQmented could be of special interest to all developers and producers of LIDAR systems. The first reason is the world record scan angle of 180 deg. This laser scanner for wide angle LIDAR reduces complexity, since less LIDAR systems per vehicle are required. Additionally, the market need for short distance and corner scanning solutions can be fulfilled. The second reason is that current solutions are facing massive problems when it comes to automotive certifications like AEC-Q100. OQmented is the only MEMS mirror company that packages its laser scanning solutions on wafer level. By doing so, the MEMS mirror can fulfil the OEM´s requirements, e. g. in terms of performance and long term reliability.

4 Team & Operation

OQmented was founded by Dr. Ulrich Hofmann and Thomas von Wantoch in April 2018. Together, the two founders contribute the experience of more than 30 years in MEMS mirror design, MEMS mirror production, control and application to the OQmented business. Both founders are also the managing directors of OQmented. The executive team of OQmented is complemented by a MEMS expert and former BOSCH Sensortech employee who adds the experience of the MEMS components transformation from research and development stage to products of the consumer industry. A further executive, who was employed in the automotive electronics business for 11 years, was successfully poached from an Infineon subsidiary. The fifth executive has a degree in economics and was last working as a consultant for start-up companies. 

In addition to the core management team, a dedicated team of 15+ electrical engineer, optical experts and software has been hired and is supporting our automotive and consumer customer with greatest satisfaction.
