IMMS Institut für Mikroelektronik- und Mechatronik-Systeme gemeinnützige GmbH
We are R&D partner for application developments of companies, e.g. for medical technology,
and mentor for students.
Our goal is the market success of our partners
We take care of whole systems integration from the idea to series production
like here for the SONAPHONE, an ultrasonic testing device for maintenance 4.0.
We connect science and industry
We transfer results from basic research into high-performance applications
such as nanometre-precise 6D direct drives for microelectronics manufacturing and precision metrology.
We connect the digital to the analogue world
We create innovative industrial solutions for intelligent sensor and measurement systems
with the help of AI-based design and test methods for highly complex chips and printed circuit boards, for example.

Research field
Research
We conduct research to harness cutting-edge results from science for industry. Through application-oriented developments we strengthen industry's competitiveness with innovations.
Lead application
Lead applications
Our lead applications bridge the gap from research to industry. Based on our research, we develop, for example, sensor systems for in-vitro diagnostics for individual, decentralised health monitoring with electronic rapid tests.
Service for R&D
Services for R&D
We provide support during the entire R&D process from concept and design of devices and modules to transfer to industrial production. You can cooperate with us in funded projects or commission services directly.
