About

Global Network

Innovation can be described as network thinking and as Steve Jobs suggested “creativity is just connecting things“. The word “Iugo” is Latin for connect. IUGOTEC is a science driven company that connects ideas and technologies from different disciplines to create unique and meaningful solutions to some of the words most challenging problems. We focus on finding the best solution for each sensing challenge. This differentiates us from other companies that manufacture and / or apply specific types of sensing technology.

Our innovation is supported by a global network of expertise that has been carefully curated through more than 10 years working in R&D at the forefront of sensing technology. We work closely with select experts, including some of the world’s most visionary thinkers and scientists across multiple disciplines. This “A-Team” guide our R&D activity and enable the delivery of creative & innovative solutions to challenging industry problems. As a lean and agile company operating with a broad knowledge base, we excel in solving problems economically, in short time-periods. Furthermore, through our global commercial partners we are able to support the roll out of impactful solutions at scale.

Innovation Ready:

Our “A-team” excel at solving serious challenges. IUGOTEC’s Research & Development facility includes state-of-the art mass spectrometry technology, 3D printing, agile prototyping, AI and software development capabilities. We work efficiently with our partners to deliver time-critical solutions, quickly.

Following a thorough problem definition exercise with our clients, we map and assess the potential solution routes using proven systems engineering methodologies.  Harnessing close relationships with a network of global experts we can provide domain relevant expertise to solve your most challenging problems. Our scientific expertise, bold thinking and systems engineering process create innovative solutions to solve serious challenges.

Our Core Expertise:

Whilst we pride ourselves in working across multiple engineering and scientific disciplines, our core expertise is real-time chemical sensing technology. Our sensing systems are robust and designed for the real-world, moving state-of-the-art sensing capability beyond the laboratory to the point of need. Our unique combination of sensors and software brings new capabilities to the Biosecurity, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic & Skin Care, Environmental testing and Food & Agriculture industries.

  • Easy-to-use, economic chemical analysis to improve production and quality control processes.
  • Portable / point-of-need systems that generate new knowledge and enable better decisions.
  • Intelligent, networked systems provide automated operation and self-learning capability, to improve collectively with time.
  • Ultra-trace gas sensing in real-time on par with “sniffer-dog” detection capability, ready for objective, 24/7 operation in any environment.
  • Ultra-trace detection of low-volatility chemicals that cannot be detected by “sniffer-dogs”, can be detected in near real-time using robotic sampling probes and interfaces.

To find out how our next-generation chemical sensing systems can add value to your industry connect with us today.

Sensing Solutions, Scientific Methods:

Our sensing systems undergo rigorous scientific validation using the accepted gold-standard analytical protocols. Our exemplary analytical chemists and expert partners, conduct validation studies to exacting scientific standards. We collaborate with the brightest minds around the globe to solve challenges and verify solution performance.

Culture & Values:

We are a boutique, privately owned company proud of our technical excellence and attention to detail. Honesty, courage and integrity form the basis of everything we do. At IUGOTEC we strive to create a stimulating, aspirational, respectful and rewarding place to work. We believe that this culture underpins the high level of service we deliver to our customers. We are 100% committed to delivering results you can depend on.

“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” (Albert Einstein)
