Technology Monitoring
One step ahead with technology monitoring!
Professional technology monitoring allows emerging innovations to be identified at an early stage and the development of potentially interesting and relevant technologies to be accompanied in a continuous screening process.
A well-established product today can quickly experience sales difficulties tomorrow if it doesn’t continuously adapt to the latest technological possibilities („technology push“) and the changing requirements of the market („market pull“). To maintain the marketability and competitiveness of modern products, it is therefore necessary to identify innovative technologies in a timely manner and, if possible, stay one step ahead of the competition.
Early. Comprehensive. Automatic.
Research and patent databases provide a valid basis for comprehensive technology monitoring. New technologies don’t emerge out of nowhere. They have lead times in various sources:
- If a lot of work is published on a topic in scientific journals, this is an indicator that the international research community has recognized great potential.
- If publications are found in the patent literature, this is a reliable sign of the transition to industrial development.
- If the first product applications are advertised, the technology has reached the maturity to soon be established on a broad front in the market.
Comprehensive and early technology screening
Professional, well-founded and efficient – at a fair price
Identify topics, experts and key players early
For monitoring in early phases, for example, queries can be created that report a hit whenever a new scientific publication of a certain significance is published for a specific technology keyword. These „hits“ are reviewed for various technologies at regular intervals (e.g., quarterly) and assessed according to number and relevance.
Identify new technical application areas in a timely manner
Technology monitoring allows for the parallel monitoring of numerous innovative approaches in the early stages of research and development. This allows for the early identification of key players and experts dedicated to your topic and the identification of application areas in which the technology could become relevant.
Service and software for your technology monitoring
We advise you and work with you to establish a technology monitoring system for all potentially relevant topics within your company. With PIKAS, we offer you a clear software solution for regularly reviewing, maintaining, and evaluating the relevant state of the art in a cost-effective and effective manner.
First, we work with you to identify suitable topic keywords and record the current state of the art in technology profiles. The monitoring process is then initiated, enabling efficient monitoring of the topics over time.
We also offer you our support at attractive conditions to review, analyze and evaluate publications and documents relevant to your company.
