Challenges with environmental sensors

A lack of real-time visibility in environmental monitoring leads to significant operational and financial liabilities. We have identified core challenges that can compromise your bottom line.

Data noise and inaccuracy

Sensor readings can be inconsistent due to environmental and RF interference. Without proper calibration and filtering, raw data is often useless for critical decisions.

Complex multi-sensor integration

The real value of an IoT solution comes from correlating data from multiple sensors. Implementing multi-sensor fusion engines and algorithms to handle different data formats and timing synchronization is a significant engineering challenge.

Energy inefficiency

Building devices that can operate for months or years on a single battery while continuously collecting data is a major engineering challenge. This requires a deep understanding of low-power design and optimization.

Compliance hurdles

Many industries require sensors with industrial-grade accuracy and strict compliance (e.g., ATEX/IECEx for explosive atmospheres), which demands a proven design and expertise.

Our solutions for Environmental Sensors

Our expertise in environmental sensors goes beyond standard approaches. We deliver a complete, modular ecosystem that connects hardware, software, and analytics into a cohesive, purpose-built system.

01 Sensing & contextual awareness

A sensor is only as valuable as the data it provides. We move beyond simple readings by integrating a multi-sensor array that provides crucial context about your environment.

High-precision measurement packs
We deliver pre-integrated solutions for a wide range of measurements, including a High-Precision Temperature Measurement Pack for industrial-grade accuracy in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals and food safety. Our solutions include compensation algorithms to achieve industrial and medical-grade measurement accuracy.
Multi-sensor integration
We excel at combining various environmental sensor types, such as temperature, humidity, CO2, and pressure, to provide a comprehensive picture of your environment.
Data reliability
Our software features calibration routines and filtering algorithms that turn raw signals into consistent and reliable data, eliminating the problem of inconsistent sensor readings due to environmental factors and RF interference.

02 Connectivity & Resilience

Unreliable connectivity is a single point of failure. Our sensors are engineered for robust, always-on communication, ensuring your data is never lost.

Energy harvesting
We specialize in designing for ultra-long operational lifespans by leveraging energy harvesting techniques, including kinetic, solar, and RF, to power devices in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
Offline resilience & backup
Our sensors are built with an Offline Resilience & Backup Module that allows them to continue logging critical data even during network outages. Once the connection is restored, all data is automatically synchronized, ensuring no information is ever lost.
Ultra-low-power design
We specialize in designing embedded systems for ultra-low energy consumption, significantly extending a device's operational life. Our expertise includes intelligent PMIC-based architectures and optimized firmware to maximize efficiency.

03 Action & intelligence

The true value of a sensor lies in its ability to drive decisions. We turn raw data into actionable intelligence at the edge and in the cloud.

Edge data processing
Our Edge Data Processing Engines enable on-device analytics and data filtering, which reduces bandwidth costs, minimizes latency, and ensures instant, automated responses to critical events.
Multi-sensor fusion engine
Our Multi-Sensor Fusion Engine is a hero block that fuses data from multiple sensors into higher-level events and insights. For example, by combining motion and temperature readings, it can detect that "a door has been opened in a cold storage area," enabling more intelligent and context-aware systems.
Data analytics & insights framework
We provide a scalable backend and our Data Analytics & Insights Framework to turn raw sensor data into actionable business value. This framework supports both real-time analysis and long-term trend exploration, transforming data into strategic business value.

Environmental sensors that don't just measure, they inform.

Go beyond raw data. We engineer custom sensor solutions that provide a real-time, actionable understanding of your environment, empowering you to optimize operations, ensure safety, and comply with regulations.
