In 2018, Karsten Otto founded OTTO ID Solutions GmbH following his studies in industrial engineering and a decade of experience working as a paramedic on emergency medical response vehicles. His goal was to automate and optimize business processes using RFID technology. The company has established its own value chain, encompassing custom-designed hardware, software, and RFID tags, along with comprehensive process analysis and implementation.

What distinguishes OTTO ID Solutions is its integrated systems approach: by combining RFID technology with proprietary software solutions, the company enables precise tracking and management of materials and equipment. This not only reduces manual labor but also enhances operational efficiency and accuracy across sectors such as healthcare, emergency services, and the textile industry.

Karsten Otto and his team address acore challenge across industries: the inefficiencies and error-proneness of manual inventory management. Hospitals, emergency response units, and companies benefit from an automated, cost-effective, and reliable solution for resource management. Through this model, OTTO ID Solutions contributes significantly to the digital transformation of analog systems by bridging technological innovation with real-world application.

In the company’s early stage, Karsten Otto received a EUR 50,000 loan from the Frankfurter Gründerfonds, enabling him to invest in team development and lay the foundation for sustainable growth.
