EPHJ 2025
EPHJ 2025 marks a turning point for Oratek: after five participations focused on custom engineering services, the company introduced its own industrial equipment dedicated to watchmaking.
News and recent updates from Oratek
At Embedded World 2025, Oratek presented the TOFU5 and TOFU5+ to a global audience of engineers — showcasing a generation-proof carrier board platform built for backward compatibility, with the dual M.2 connector of the TOFU5+ generating strong interest on the floor.
At EPHJ 2024, Oratek unveiled TARS — a custom 15-camera vision inspection machine built around the TOFU board, designed for simultaneous quality control of 10 watch heads in an open, constraint-free format.
At Watches and Wonders 2024, Oratek presented a vision of the future watch display — a gaze-triggered mega-structure where AI attention detection animates watches individually, while capturing the physical retail analytics that brands have never had access to before.
At EPHJ 2023, Oratek presented TRACER V2 — a compact defect tracking system that replaces post-its and informal handoffs with a fully digital quality loop on the watchmaking floor.
At Hannover Messe 2023 — the largest industrial fair Oratek has attended — the team presented the TOFU board to a global industrial audience and explored a floor buzzing with conversations about private 5G, technology integration, and the future of industrial systems.
Embedded World 2023 was Oratek’s first international trade show — the occasion to present the TOFU board to a global audience of engineers, customers, journalists and content creators, and to challenge the product against the reality of the embedded world.
