Curiosity, optimism and pioneering spirit
Optimum is specialized in intelligent image processing that combines digitization, database management and camera technology. The IT expert team from Karlsruhe has been automating and optimizing the processes of leading industrial companies for over 26 years.
In discussions with customers, problems that seemed impossible repeatedly aroused the ambition of the experts. Optimum developed individual solutions for each client, for example in the automotive industry for quality assurance of software for autonomous driving. Each pioneering project led Optimum to new achievements and insights that expanded the possibilities of automatic image recognition and opened up new territory step by step.
In 2009, the founders and managing directors Andreas Felber and Markus Nübling decided to change direction and included the business economist Wolfgang Mahanty in the management. Under the motto "simpler, faster, better", the strategic reorientation led Optimum away from purely individual projects towards the flexible standard solution Smart Klaus. All experiences and knowledge from more than 26 years of successful software development flowed and will flow into the development of this camera-based assistance system for industrial production.
