An IoT lab in the middle of the Tegernsee valley is no accident: at Tegernseer Straße 89 in Rottach-Egern, we develop, test, and manufacture connected devices and local services for businesses from the region and beyond - from first idea to small-batch production, no detour through overseas suppliers.
What an on-site think tank delivers
Unlike a pure software office, our Think Tank combines digital development with real manufacturing: sensors, firmware, enclosure design, and small-batch production all run under one roof. If you want a device developed, you do not need to coordinate between three different vendors - concept, electronics, software, and first production all come from a single source.
Equipment in the lab
Specifically, the lab houses a thermal-transfer card printer for staff, customer, and access cards, a diode laser and a CO2 laser for engraving and cutting, an embroidery machine, and the tools for small-batch and prototype construction. This is complemented by a microelectronics component inventory - sensors, microcontrollers, displays, power supplies, and networking parts, available for pickup on-site instead of waiting days for delivery.
Who benefits from the location
Businesses in and around the Tegernsee valley benefit from the short distance: an on-site meeting, picking up a finished sample, a fast adjustment after the first test - no shipping delays. Companies outside the region also work with us remotely when on-site proximity does not matter for the project.
Typical projects from the lab
Plastic card printing for access systems and staff badges, laser engraving for promotional items and component labeling, custom embroidery for company apparel, and prototype and small-batch production for IoT devices like wallboards, control panels, and sensor terminals. The range spans from one-off custom jobs to recurring small production runs.
Developing together, not just executing a brief
The Think Tank mindset means we do not just execute requirements, we think along with you. If a sensor concept is not technically sound or a material will not hold up to the requirements, we say so early - not after the order is placed. That saves time and budget on both sides.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be on-site at Lake Tegernsee to work with the lab?
No, but it helps for projects with frequent back-and-forth or when a quick on-site pickup matters. Fully remote projects work too.
What quantities are realistic in the lab?
From one-off custom pieces to small batches in the low three-digit range. For larger runs, we connect you with the right manufacturing partners.
Can I buy microelectronics components without a development project?
Yes, part of the component inventory is available directly through our online shop with a local pickup option.
