About Idyllic Technology

Pioneering the Future of Identification

Our Story

In the heart of a French university over fifteen years ago, within the quiet halls of the LCIS laboratory, a dream began to form. Etienne Perret, inspired by the world around him, imagined a world with chipless radio frequency identifiers. It was an idea simple in its nature but vast in its vision.

​

From the spark of this dream, the first patent was born in 2010, lighting the path for future inventors. The first version of the reader has been designed in 2016.

​

But every story needs its heroes. In 2017, Louis Gautier-Le Boulch, and Etienne Perret, came together. These  visionaries founded Idyllic Technology, with a united goal: to take a brilliant lab concept and bring it to the bustling factories of industry.

​

Imagine a journey:

From mere bytes of coding, soaring to 40 bits; From intimate reading distances of a few centimeters, stretching out to a vast 50; From a humble, one-to-one crafting of radio frequency barcodes, expanding to an industrial magnitude.

It's been an epic saga, filled with passion, innovation, and tenacity.

Today, Idyllic Technology proudly stands at the forefront of a new era. We've crafted a radio-frequency barcode technology that doesn't just identify and track; it reinvents and revolutionizes. In our complex, interconnected world, we offer a solution that's simple, reliable, and harmoniously entwined with nature's blueprint.
