The countdown has begun for the Big Bang Start-up Challenge, Turkey’s largest entrepreneurship event, supported by ITU Cekirdek, the ITU ARI Teknokent Incubation Center, where the best startups are determined every year. The rising initiatives of Turkey and the world will be hosted once again at the Big Bang. Breaths were held for this day when the best 20 startups were selected among the startups of the year. As Adlema, we are proud to be among the 2020 finalists.

Big Bang Start-up Challenge, organized annually by ITU Cekirdek, the İTÜ ARI Teknokent Incubation Center, took place on Thursday, December 03. In the event, which was held online for the first time due to the pandemic, Adlema was awarded by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry and the Elginkan Foundation, which contributed to the production of value-added technologies by supporting new entrepreneurs in manufacturing. This year, a total of 3 startups, together with Adlema, were selected for the “Industrialist of the Future” award by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry. While a total of 175,000 ₺ awards were distributed to 3 startups selected by the Elginkan Foundation, Adlema was chosen for the grand prize and was deemed worthy of a 75,000 ₺ award.

We continue on our way with an investment of 1 Million TL from the TRAngels Team! TRAngels, which has invested in more than 40 startups in many fields from artificial intelligence, cloud, and mobile solutions, energy to biotechnology, and medical to food since the day it was founded, has invested a total of 6 million dollars to date. We are very happy that TRAngels, which has the potential to provide benefits in local and global markets, investing and consulting in venture projects, is a partner in our dreams on the way we set out to have a say in our field in the world.

We hosted many of our customers, stakeholders, and friends at our stand at WIN EURASIA (the meeting point of the Manufacturing Industry), Automechanika Istanbul (where thousands of automotive industry professionals from different parts of the world meet), and Saha Expo (the defense, aviation and space fair were technologies that shape the future meet). While we had the opportunity to introduce our high-value-added technology products to the representatives of the manufacturing sector, we gained a lot of new connections and cooperation potential. We have already started working for the day we will meet at the next fair!

Today we were at the GoTech21′ organization organized by the Tofas Connected Supplier team. In the presentation we made within the scope of the TOFAS GO-TECH program, we explained in detail our application in which the banjo surface and the hose are checked for leakage in rubber hoses with banjo connection, in order to increase the quality and traceability of the products we carry out together with TOFAS Turkish Automobile Factory. We would like to thank especially the TOFAS Turkish Automobile Factory team and all the participants who contributed to the organization of TOFAS GO-TECH.

In terms of flight safety, the smooth lighting of the runways and therefore the leak tests of the lighting elements are critical. At this point, IGA Istanbul Airport relies on Adlema for the leak tests of the lighting elements of Istanbul Airport, the largest airport in Europe.

We were at the 15th Industry Congress, which was held with the theme of sustainability at the Halic Congress Center under the title of “Another Way is Possible”. We work to reduce carbon emissions in the long term by ensuring sustainable production, testing post-production leak-proof, and quality control of products.

And we say another way is possible with our work on “Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure”, the 9th of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)!

Journalist Şule Güner, who specializes in artificial intelligence and robotics, covered Adlema in her column this week with the title “From traditional bubble testing in quality control to IoT and artificial intelligence application”. In her article, Şule Güner talks about showing the difference with the software in our hardware and breaking new ground in leak tests. Our founding partner Barış Hökevek talks about the leak tests and the advantages Adlema offers in the interview.

Barış Hökevek, one of the founding partners of Adlema, explained in an interview with ST Automation Magazine, one of the biggest magazines followed by the industry, that the leak which can be detected by operators by spending minutes can be caught in seconds thanks to the device Adlema made. Talking about the solutions offered by Adlema, Mr. Barış said that a momentary mistake of the operators who observe bubbles in the water and decide whether the products are sound or not, may cause great financial losses and even negatively affect human life.
