Evolution of CEMF Technology
Qeplon (originally Ontech Security) was founded in 2012 in Seville, Spain by a group of highly skilled industrial engineers.
In 2013 Ontech Security developed sensor technology that is today patented worldwide, and used across a wide range of applications. The technology helps companies provide smart solutions and tear down the barriers to innovation.
Industrial engineers Juan Aponte and Isidoro Sánchez Tejado founded Ontech in Seville, Spain
Ontech is awarded EUR 600k by angel investors to develop
Ontech is awarded EUR 600k by angel investors to develop Aponteʼs Controlled Electro-Magnetic Field Technology (CEMF)- based alarm system
Yuzz Award granted by the Banesto bank for development of novel alarm system based on CEMF
Ontech successfully showcases its technology at the Customer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, USA, and wins 1st Prize at the ISC West (also in Las Vegas) for “Best in Intrusion Detection & Prevention Solution”
Ontechʼs in-house CEMF technology and its associated products win more awards: 1st Prize at the ISC West Las Vegas 2017 for “Best in Outdoor Perimeter Solution,” and 1st Prize at the FSEC London, UK for “Active Innovation of the Year”
Ontech wins 1st Prize at the ISC West Las Vegas for “Best in Personal Protective Equipment”
Ontech further develops CEMF technology and products for Home Security business lines under the trademark Wardiam (Wardiam Pro and Wardiam ONE)
Ontech engineers prototypes for defence, delivery, automotive, smart locks, and power tools sectors
Ontech develops the first ASIC or “chip” in collaboration with the School of Industrial Engineers at the University of Seville. With new AI and complex algorithm functionalities, Ontech products are now capable of providing greater speed and sensitivity.
Buy out with a new group of investors formed. New management takes the company from R&D to commercialization.
Ontechʼs team now consists of 50+ engineers with different specialties (hardware, firmware, design, testing, quality assurance, and manufacturing) dedicated to advancement in CEMF as well as a day-by-day growth of the commercial team.
Ontech has three technological patents covering its CEMF technology as well as use patents covering different use cases.
Ontech has a global presence covering all time zones.
Ontech takes further steps towards commercialization under a new Qeplon name.
The name Qeplon is derived from the astronomer Johannes Kepler, who in the 16th century proposed the laws of planetary motion using magnetic fields as the basis for his theory. He was the first scientist to deal with magnetic fields on an international level. Tells the story of the origin of magnetic fields in mankind, and retains the suffix “ON“ from Ontech.
Our Journey
Qeplon's Business Journey
In 2012, Dr. Juan Aponte, an industrial engineer, founded Qeplon (formerly Ontech Security) with a groundbreaking sensor. Now known as controlled electro-magnetic field technology (CEMF), it generated an electro-magnetic field and accurately analyzing real-time distortions within it. With exceptional fidelity, it showed immediate potential in identifying individuals, animals, objects, or measuring properties of specific materials.
Testing the market
To validate the technology in real-world scenarios, Dr Aponte proposed an innovative concept to enhance security alarm systems, addressing challenges like false positives, slow triggers, and limited detection capabilities.
Dr. Aponte's demonstation of this concept earned him the prestigious Yuzz de Banesto award, and further demonstrations at IESE in Madrid attracted companies willing to finance and contribute expertise to the security venture.
Qeplon subsequently secured a multi-million euro investment from Junta de Andalucía, Banco Sabadell, and La Caixa, supporting new R&D capability and the introduction of Qeplon's perimeter and home security products to the global security market in 2013.
A focus on innovation and R&D
Since its foundation, Qeplon placed its people at the centre of its strategy. An initial team of eight engineers has grown to over fiy, working from oices in Seville, Stockholm, San Francisco, and Singapore on chip design, electronic design, algorithms, prototyping, and custom innovation projects based on CEMF technology.
Qeplon's globally patented technology now has countless applications in various sectors such as IoT, Extended Reality (AR, VR, MR), Automotive, Industrial, Security, Defense, and more. Its innovative technology has been recognised internationally by the most important technology forums such as CES (Las Vegas), ISC West (Las Vegas), and IFSEC (London), with several Qeplon solutions being awarded prizes for the best sector innovation.
Today, around 70% of Qeplon's activities fall under R&D, including collaborations with large and medium-sized companies on developing prototypes and specific solutions applying its technology.
