SuessCo Sensors

What SuessCo Sensors does

SuessCo Sensors FlexCo is an Austrian hardware-and-software manufacturer founded in 2018 in Herzogenburg, Austria, that develops and produces patented magnetic-field sensor systems for contactless structural health monitoring. Its product portfolio comprises five sensor models — the 6D-Sensor (six-axis simultaneous measurement of translation and rotation), 3D-Sensor, 3D-Sensor XT, 2D-Sensor (crack monitoring), and GNSS-System (absolute position detection at 2 mm accuracy) — all of which feature wireless data transmission, 10-year battery life, drift-free operation, and plug-and-play installation. Measurements flow into SuessCo's proprietary Monitoring Platform (Datahub), a multi-tenant dashboard with threshold alarms, CSV export, and API access for third-party integration. Patents on the magnetic field technology are held in both the European Union and the United States.

The company serves infrastructure owners and operators, engineering firms, and public authorities across bridges, tunnels, historic buildings, dams, wind turbine foundations, construction sites, and industrial facilities. Named reference customers include ASFINAG, ÖBB, ÖBB INFRA, STRABAG, PORR, Stadt Wien, Burghauptmannschaft Österreich, Stuttgart 21, the Rastatt Tunnel, the Brentenbergtunnel, and Axpo. Documented use cases include continuous bridge bearing monitoring, post-incident tunnel safety assessment (including re-opening of the Brentenbergtunnel within six days of a truck fire), and heritage preservation of the Vienna Palm House.

SuessCo generates revenue through three streams: one-time hardware sales of its proprietary sensors, recurring software access to the Monitoring Platform, and professional services around sensor selection, installation support, and project configuration. The go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement (consultations booked via HubSpot) combined with a regional distribution partner network covering DACH (GOECKE SCHWELM), Italy (Geomatica), and Scandinavia (Geofix), supported by content marketing, technical conference participation, and case-study publishing. The company is privately held, employs 1-10 people, operates without disclosed external institutional funding, and is structured as an Austrian FlexCo under founder/owner leadership.

Core offering

SuessCo Sensors develops and manufactures patented magnetic field sensors (2D, 3D, 3D XT, 6D, and GNSS) that contactlessly measure displacement and rotation in structures such as bridges, tunnels, buildings, dams, and industrial facilities. The hardware transmits data wirelessly to a proprietary monitoring dashboard (Datahub) that provides visualization, threshold alarms, and API access. The all-in-one system replaces multiple individual measurement devices with a single sensor and is sold primarily to infrastructure operators, construction companies, engineering firms, and government agencies.

Product overview

SuessCo Sensors offers a comprehensive structural monitoring solution based on patented magnetic field technology for precise motion detection in bridges, tunnels, buildings, and industrial facilities. The product portfolio consists of five sensor models—6D-Sensor, 3D-Sensor, 3D-Sensor XT, 2D-Sensor, and GNSS-System—which share the same underlying magnetic field sensing technology but offer varying dimensional measurement capabilities (from 2D crack monitoring to 6D displacement and rotation measurement). All sensors transmit data wirelessly to the proprietary Monitoring-Plattform (Datahub/Dashboard), which provides data visualization, threshold-based alerting, and API access for data export and third-party integration. The all-in-one system combines hardware, software, and AI-based analysis from a single manufacturer.
