A total of ten promising start-ups have completed the 12-week accelerator program at HIGHTECH.NRW. They were selected from a total of 50 applicants by a jury of experts. HIGHTECH.NRW is a venture platform that offers a tailor-made accelerator program for high-tech and deep-tech start-ups. In the end, OSPHIM convincingly prevailed over its nine competitors in the pitch. “We are delighted to receive this award, as it is further confirmation for us that we have developed a pioneering AI solution for the entire plastics industry,” explains OSPHIM CEO Desel.
OSPHIM GmbH was founded in January 2024 by Louisa Desel, Yannik Lockner, Mauritius Schmitz and Jakob Pesch. At its core, the start-up has technology for the digitalization and optimization of plastics processing, for example in billion-dollar sectors such as the automotive industry. Until now, the selection of process settings in plastics processing has mainly been based on expert knowledge. These processes are complex and time-consuming. With the help of OSPHIM's own platform, plastics processing machines can now be programmed faster, more precisely and more robustly.
“Our innovative platform aims to support decision-makers in setting up injection molding processes,” explains Louisa Desel. The compact OSPHIM-BOX collects data directly at the machine and optimizes it on the OSPHIM-WEB platform. “This not only allows us to reduce the time in the set-up process by more than 70%, but also reduces the reject rate at the same time,” says Desel. OSPHIM is thus setting new standards for sustainability and efficiency in the plastics industry. In addition to the innovative plug & play solution, OSPHIM offers its customers personal advice and ongoing support for the seamless integration of cutting-edge technology.
