About Lumatics
Lumatics Technologies AG is a startup founded in 2023 in Brugg, Switzerland, specializing in the optimization of industrial processes, with a focus on the cement industry. The company develops and sells sensors, software and related services: core offerings include process analysis and process control using modern algorithms such as Model Predictive Control (MPC), AI-supported analysis methods, and consulting on raw material preparation, crushing and grinding. Based on patent-pending long-wave infrared technology, an at-line measuring device provides real-time oxide and phase analysis of cement and raw materials directly on powders – comparable to XRF/XRD, without preprocessing and without a radioactive source. With these solutions, Lumatics supports its customers in increasing efficiency, reducing CO2, raising the recycled-material share and maintaining consistent quality. The company is located in the Technopark Aargau in Brugg and cooperates with partners such as FHNW, Innosuisse and the Hightech Zentrum Aargau.
