A team with a mission

As an interdisciplinary team, we analyze  mechanical systems, determine relevant measured variables and develop customized and highly integrated measurement technology to obtain usable information in condition & load monitoring.

i4M Teamfoto 2022

Since 2016, we have collaborated with companies, service providers and organizations and have carried out more than 50 most diverse projects. In doing so, we have always focused on working in partnership, engaging in a collaborative process and paying attention to achieving the defined goals with maximum impact and in the shortest possible time.

„In close cooperation with the team from i4M technologies, we have developed a compact, wireless system for monitoring wind turbines from prototype to series production. Above all, we appreciate the strong competencies of the team, the fast development of customized products and the excellent service. We are looking forward to further cooperative partnership.“

„Thanks to wireless data transmission, the nemione crack monitoring system enables us to facilitate installation even in poorly accessible locations. In addition, the efficient i4M wireless technology can realize years of service life and permanent, low-maintenance monitoring of cracks on highway bridges. As a result, the bridges can continue to be used safely for years even in the event of critical or limited utilization in terms of static reserves..“

„i4M technologies' customized solutions for Rheinbahn reliably identify faults in our track network before we can detect them by visual inspection. In doing so, the system makes a decisive contribution to reducing vehicle damage and noise pollution for residents. The flexible team at i4M always ensures that our projects are implemented quickly. We can highly recommend a cooperation.“

„At Mack Rides, i4M's wireless nemione measurement system was used to monitore a catapult roller coaster. The compact components convince us with easy installation, robust wireless data transmission even in case of magnetic interference field and high data quality. We thank the team of i4M for the good cooperation and the fast implementation of the project."

„In i4M technologies GmbH we found a competent partner offering a functional and diverse product portfolio. During the development period, i4M supported us with their comprehensive Know-How in selecting a suitable measurement system meeting our demands.The small dimensions enabled us to perform test measurements quickly and flexibly, even during normal operation. In addition, the system has its strength in its ability to be used for acceleration measurements on the human body.“

„Within a very short time, i4M technologies designed, developed and manufactured a fully functional, wireless telemetry system for the condition monitoring of a tool grinding machine. The telemetry system is very small, battery-powered and fully integrated into the grinding spindle. The system reliably transmits from a machine tool. This solution enables structural integration of sensor technology on rotating machine components, so that process forces can be detected close to the point of action and additional cost-intensive measurement technology components can be dispensed with. I also particularly liked the uncomplicated and goal-oriented cooperation with the team.“

Martin-Christopher Noll

Martin-Christopher Noll is founder and managing partner of i4M technologies GmbH. After completing his mechanical engineering degree at RWTH Aachen University with a stay abroad at the University of Delaware, USA, he began working as a research assistant at the Institute for Machine Elements and System Engineering (IMSE) and the Center for Wind Power Drives (CWD) at RWTH Aachen University in 2013. There, he worked on numerous projects with a metrological background, e.g. on the use of new sensors in condition monitoring systems (CMS) of wind turbines, on operating load measurement on railroad systems and on the integration of robust, compact radio measurement technology in component test benches. Through his activities, he acquired in-depth knowledge of vibration measurement technology, experimental stress analysis, signal transmission and conversion, electronics development, and targeted analysis of large amounts of measurement data. In 2016, he founded i4M technologies GmbH together with parts of the institute management of IMSE and CWD.
