What InfraSensing does
InfraSensing Distribution BV, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Zaventem, Belgium, is a privately held industrial IoT sensor platform provider focused on monitoring critical infrastructure. The company sells a modular hardware system built around a SensorGateway base unit (BASE-5) that supports up to 80+ plug-and-play sensors covering environmental, power, security, and industrial monitoring use cases. Sensors connect to the base unit over standard RJ45 cables using a proprietary protocol, and the base unit operates as a standalone device with a built-in web server, HTTPS, PoE power, and built-in firewall — no PC or additional software is required to operate it. Communication is open-protocol-first, with native support for SNMP v2/v3, Modbus TCP, and MQTT, plus optional Modbus RTU (RS-485) and BACnet/IP for integration with network management systems, building management systems, and industrial control systems.
The portfolio is organized into three sub-brands targeting distinct verticals: ServersCheck for Tier 3 and Tier 4 data centers, modular data centers, and IT rooms; SwitchMon for switchgear and critical power with patented continuous thermography monitoring aligned to NFPA 70B and FM Global DS 5-19; and Prevent-iON for lithium-ion battery abuse, off-gas, and thermal runaway monitoring in energy storage systems. The base thermography technology is protected by three granted US patents (10,455,166; 12,253,416; 12,292,334) and a fourth Modbus RTU patent is pending.
InfraSensing generates revenue primarily through direct hardware sales via its e-commerce store (store.infrasensing.com), supplemented by a direct sales channel for enterprise pricing, custom configurations, and large deployments. Recurring revenue comes from optional Care support plans and firmware updates beyond the first year, as well as licensing of the ServersCheck monitoring software (free for personal/non-commercial use, paid via Monitoring Appliance for commercial and government customers). The go-to-market is product-led for small and mid-market buyers and enterprise field sales for larger projects, supported by content marketing, integration guides, a community forum, and trade show presence in compliance-driven segments. The company reports 13,000+ customers across 138 countries and operates with 11-50 employees on a bootstrapped basis with no disclosed external funding.
