From a technical viewpoint, beyond monitoring, TULIPZ has broken several technological barriers. For the first time in the world, we have developed a Terahertz based inspection system that comprises:
- multicamera THz (never done before for THz systems)
- multisource THz (never done before for THz systems)
- edge computing to cloud and Big Data (never done before for THz systems)
- that uses CMOS semiconductor technologies (versus complex compounds and laser-based technologies)
- that runs at high speeds (never done before for THz systems)
- in a harsh production environment (never done before for THz systems)
- measuring approximately 1 million products per week, in the last year, which was never done before with a THz system.
- and with a mastered supply chain for production of this system
We are proud and appreciate the EIC support for TULIPZ, because this enabling technology will allow us to become the leaders of inline inspection of quality and raw materials. TiHive’s mission is to make quality and resources management accessible to everyone building products that impact our lives positively, by building easy to use and powerful hardware and software sensing and imaging solutions. This has been made possible through the EIC funded TULIPZ project.
Beyond TULIPZ, our Technological Ips will also open doors for other applications in the medical field, the security field, as well as the 6G communications field.
From a societal standpoint, our TULIPZ solution will bring positive impacts on consumers: mothers and father, babies, and the elderly, will all benefit from better products that reach the market because the TULIPZ solution will help the industrials ship the best products to the market. They will also benefit from products that have a lower cost to produce, which means that the producers can better price their products to penetrate markets will lower incomes, or even adapt during inflation periods.
Additionally, our customers believe that TULIPZ will help accelerate product RnD, which means that the product innovators can bring to the consumers better quality products that can be adapted, in a faster fashion, to the needs of markets, such as hygienic pads for female athletes, or more comfortable incontinence products for the elderly.
