Botest Systems GmbH Botest Systems, located just outside of Wuerzburg, Germany, is a technology company founded in 2001. The company is active in development, manufacturing and marketing of test and inspection systems for various high-tech industries and collaborates closely with leading research institutions in Germany and Europe. Its product portfolio includes lifetime and functionality test systems for OLEDs, organic solar cells, and organic sensors. The Botest team consists of engineers and scientists in the fields of electronics, information technology and mechanical engineering as well as applied physical chemistry and OLED development. By close cooperations in the different fields of the application of organic electronics Botest can fulfill any special customer requirements in the area of science and research as well as development and production. Botest Printed Sensors GmbH Botest Printed Sensors GmbH develops and manufactures customized products in the area of printed electronics based on organic semiconductors. Core competencies of the company are the know-how in the area of organic semiconductros material qualities, large area solid state industrial printing methods and the integration of organic semiconductor components in conventional electronics. Potential customers are typically very capable of developing their own products in the various industries, however they typically lack the expertise how to integrate innovative technologies into the final product. Botest Printed Sensors GmbH is offering this knowhow to its clients and can also perform everything from feasibility studies to process test on the inhouse laboratory environment.The first product is an optical sensor matrix (OSM), a customized large area foil with several millions of printed light-sensitive switches based on organic semiconductor materials, which will be presented to the market in 2010. |
