About LarsLabs GmbH

We are a hardware start-up and build intelligent IoT sensors for Industry 4.0. LarsLabs was founded in September 2018 by Lars-Gerd Piwkowski and Dirk Lohmann, based in Munich. Our first product: is the RangerSensor Suite. RangerSensor Suite is a family of IoT Sensors for use in industry 4.0, smart data and predictive analytics. The sensors make evaluation of environmental data, movement, orientation, as well as precise indoor and outdoor localisation possible and provide a connection to the cloud and blockchain integration Our system focuses on three key features. It is clearly distinct from other existing IoT systems on the market: flexibility, security and scalability. RangerSensor Suite consists of tiny modules, which are placed like bricks on a basic platform, resulting in an independent IoT Sensor System. In addition we help with engineering services, product design and fast prototyping.

ARCIS

ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.
