CUBERT Gmbh was founded in 2012, headquartered in Ulm - Germany, and is still the only manufacturer of hyperspectral video cameras that use snapshot technology for real-time solutions.
We’re excited about the enormous potential and untapped markets and applications our technology has and are committed to exploring them together with our customers.
We may be the only source of hyperspectral video footage in the world, but we think of our customers as the real experts, as they are the ones who are constantly finding new applications, new ways to apply our technology, new problems to solve with it. We provide the best tools to do this.
We have maintained the curiosity and unconventional approach of a start-up. We like to think outside the box, to test the limits of what is technically possible, not as an end in itself, but to generate real-world benefits.
This results in lean, fast, affordable and easy-to-use products and solutions that enable technical disruptions in target markets.
IATEC Plant Solutions can now share its extensive experience in the application of UAVs to help clients select, customize, purchase and maintain the entire range of CUBERT Gmbh products.
