The Beginning

Luminovo is the brainchild of our two founders Timon Ruban and Sebastian Schaal. After their undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at TUM and ETH, they went to Stanford for their graduate studies to discover their passion for building software products, fueled with artificial intelligence. This is where they met.

They quickly became friends and started living together on campus, where they spent most of their time nerding out about machine learning. Being in the force field of the next AI revolution, they dedicated their graduate studies, research, and consecutive work experiences to the field of deep learning.

Armed with this new skill set, they decided to also join forces in the professional arena and use their talents back home, to help German companies solve business problems with user-friendly and intelligent software. To kick-off this agenda, they founded Luminovo, initially as an AI solution company.

Flashback to Our AI Topics of Expertise

From computer vision applications and natural language processing solutions to time-series analyses - with our former service-oriented business endeavor we covered all the facets of deep learning. We even developed our very own hybrid technology enabling seamless collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence, leveraging the best of two worlds.
document processing artificial intelligence

Document Processing

Handling and processing scanned or digital documents is part of every corporate workflow. To reduce repetitive work we developed models that automatically classify documents, route documents given their intent, and extract relevant data points.
image processing automatic classification and detection

Image Processing

From security to manufacturing, image-based processes are present in many industries. We built models that automatically classify images and detect objects in videos.
complex systems artificial intelligence

Complex Systems

Industrial applications are often built around complex systems. We implemented models that run time series prediction tasks all the way to optimizing the control units and simulations.
