About Us

If we all did the things we are really capable of doing,
we would literally astound ourselves.

–Thomas Edison

Isochronic AG

Isochronic is reinventing pick & place applications by developing the next generation of industrial robots capable of handling multiple parts simultaneously. Our young Swiss industrial company multiplies the performance of pick & place operations in automated production lines using our novel technological approach. Many high-volume industrial processes such as in the packaging, recycling, filling- and sealing as well as electronics- and precision assembly industries stand to benefit from customized isochronic robot variants which our company plans to build. We are currently developing first industrial implementations of the new robot type which poses many interesting technical challenges ranging from mechanical-, electrical- and software engineering to computer vision as well as robot path planning algorithm development.

Founding Team

Dr. Melvin Haas (Founder & CEO)

Dr. Melvin Haas is an experienced entrepreneur who founded and built several businesses. Earlier in his career, he worked for several Swiss high-technology robotics hardware companies, setting up their networks of system integrators & distributors in Europe, North America, and Asia. Based on the insights gained from working with many of the world’s leading robotics users and system builders, Melvin filed multiple patents which form the basis of Isochronic’s IP portfolio. Melvin holds a mechanical/industrial engineering degree from RWTH Aachen as well as a Ph.D. from EPFL.

Dr. Albrecht Lindner (Cofounder & CTO)
