#RWTHstartup RIIICO receives Siemens Inventor of the Year Award | The Aachen-born start-up with roots in RWTH Aachen University took home Siemens‘ prestigious Inventors of the Year Award in the category "Open Innovation" for its breakthrough #AI technology. The award presented by Siemens CTO Peter Koerte honors RIIICO’s unique solution for transforming #3D factory scans into engineering-friendly 3D models. “Being the first start-up ever to receive this award is a tremendous honor to our entire team that has been working really hard on this technology for more than 4 years,” said Jan Büchsenschütz, co-founder and COO of RIIICO who accepted the award on behalf of the team on Wednesday evening. And throughout those years of technology development, RWTH's long-standing partner Siemens has been a strong ally of the young start-up. The team's #SuccessStory began in Aachen in 2021, when Jan Büchsenschütz, Felix Fink and Patrick Mertens decided to turn their idea of visual factory twins based on 3D scanning and AI into reality and founded their own start-up RIIICO. As part of our Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem Aachen Arc, the three former students at RWTH Aachen University pitched their technology to the university's strategic partner Siemens. Since then, the founders and industry experts have been working together closely across different factories in many use-cases. The Inventors of the Year Award marks the latest milestone in the close collaboration between RIIICO and Siemens, highlighting the importance of cooperation between research, start-ups and industry. Congratulations to the entire team on this remarkable achievement! #SiemensRIEAachenArc #technology #transfer #innovation #startups #entrepreneurship #deeptech

Leaflyze, an innovative AI sewing automation solution provider, announced on November 4 that it has successfully secured seed funding just one month before its official service launch. The investment, led by Bass Ventures with participation from Bluepoint, positions Leaflyze to revolutionize the sewing industry. Founded by Park Jong-ho, an alumnus of Seoul National University's Computer Science Department, Leaflyze aims to enhance production efficiency through automation. The team includes CTO Lee Seung-hwan, who has a background in character animation and 3D vision AI from Stanford University, and CPO Park Jong-min, who developed robotic control systems at Twinity after graduating from KAIST. The company's first service, Teddify, is set to launch in mid-November, offering custom plush toy orders with a quick turnaround. Customers can submit image files to create character dolls, with samples produced every two days and final products delivered within a week. This service allows for a minimum order quantity of just 30 units, minimizing inventory risks. Leaflyze is also developing an AI-based product development automation system that validates design feasibility and generates patterns and work instructions, significantly reducing production time from days to just one day. Park Jong-min notes that while labor costs in South Korea are higher than China or Southeast Asia, optimizing non-sewing processes allows for competitive local production. Bass Ventures emphasized the sewing industry's enormous potential, valued at ₩1,000 trillion ($730 billion), and acknowledged Leaflyze's unique capability to tackle complex challenges in automation. This strategic investment highlights the increasing relevance of AI and robotics in transforming traditional industries.
