Platform

One perception platform for Physical AI

Sensor IP and software, from silicon to OEM product. Complementary sensing modalities that work where cameras struggle: through materials, around glass, in the dark and without personal data.

Ontech CEMF®Emerge MEMS

From silicon to your product

One core layer, designed to serve many Physical AI applications.

  1. 01

    Silicon

    MEMS sensors and custom ASICs

    The low-power CEMF ASIC and the 2 × 2 × 1.2 mm Emerge ultrasonic chip, both designed for high-volume production on standard processes.

  2. 02

    Perception

    Time-of-flight, beamforming and field algorithms

    Patented algorithms turn electromagnetic field disturbances and ultrasonic echoes into position, motion, gesture and material data.

  3. 03

    Software

    On-device AI runtime, SDKs and APIs

    Feature extraction and inference on the device, plus SDKs, reference designs and validation tools for OEM developers.

  4. 04

    OEM applications

    Licensing, engineering and integration

    OEMs fund design-in and license the IP to embed the platform in their products, then pay royalties on volume.

Where Ontech sits in the AI stack

Perception connects the semiconductor layer with knowledge, AI and applications. Without it, AI remains disconnected from reality.

  1. Application layer: Robotics, smart glasses, healthcare, industrial, mobility, smart cities, IoT and home
  2. AI layer: Foundation models, assistants, agents and vertical AI
  3. Knowledge layer: Digital twins, analytics, data platforms and predictive models
  4. Physical intelligence layer, Powered by Ontech: Short and medium range perception, real-time context, human-machine interaction, embedded AI
  5. Semiconductor layer: ASICs, processors, memory and sensors
  6. Physical world: People, objects, materials, movement and environments
