Our guiding principle

Curiosity. Optimism. Pioneering spirit.

Problems of industrial companies that at first seemed impossible always reawakened the ambition in our IT experts.

 

Optimum developed individual solutions for each client, for example in the automotive industry for the quality assurance of software for autonomous driving.

Each pioneering project led to new achievements and insights that expanded the possibilities of automatic image recognition and, step by step, opened up new territory.

 

The founders and managing directors Andreas Felber and Markus Nübling decided to change direction in 2009 and took on business economist Wolfgang Mahanty as a member of the management team.

Under the motto EASIER. FASTER. BETTER. the strategic realignment led Optimum away from purely individual projects, towards the flexible standard solution, Smart Klaus – the camera-based assistance system for manual production.
