Optikan, founded in 2021, offers innovative solutions for non-destructive quality control using terahertz waves across various industrial sectors. Their approach addresses the marginal use of this technology for industrial quality inspection, focusing particularly on demonstrating its feasibility for defect detection and measuring individual multi-layer coatings.
With non-contact measurement capabilities, non-ionizing radiation, and inherently non-destructive features, terahertz technology presents numerous advantages for modern industry applications. Originating from a team with significant expertise, demonstrated by their PhD level experience from the University of Bordeaux's IMS Laboratory, Optikan is well-equipped to cater to manufacturers and maintenance organizations.
Backed by a €830.00K seed investment in June 2024 from notable investors such as Arts et Métiers Business Angels, Syner, and TechnoStart, the France-based company is poised to expand its terahertz-based solutions, meeting the growing demands for efficient and safe industrial inspections.
