What Sensile Technologies does

Sensile Technologies SA is a Swiss IIoT company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Morges, Switzerland, specializing in remote tank monitoring solutions for the oil & gas, chemical, LPG, lubricants, and (more recently) water utility industries. Its core technology centers on a proprietary family of explosion-proof telemetry hardware units — NETRIS, NETRIS2, and NETRIS3 — featuring up to 10-year battery life, multi-network cellular connectivity (2G/3G/4G), optional satellite geolocation, and IECEx/ATEX/UL Zone 0 hazardous-area certifications. Data flows from these units into the Oil Link web portal, which provides real-time tank visualization, delivery scheduling, logistics software integration, and optional analytics modules such as TrackUP.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales — with Managing Director Cédric Morel personally managing key accounts — and a global distributor network complemented by its own technician field force covering more than 60 countries. Sensile monetizes through a recurring full-service subscription model (fixed fee per vessel, no upfront investment) bundled with installation, maintenance, and data access, alongside hardware sales of its certified telemetry units. Major enterprise customers include Shell, TotalEnergies, Butagaz, Circle K, E.ON, Eni, FUCHS, Univar, Neste, Flogas, and Vitogaz, with an installed base of more than 100,000 equipped tanks across 70+ countries.

Since 2020, Sensile has operated as a subsidiary of German industrial conglomerate WIKA Group, retaining its brand, leadership, and operational independence while gaining access to the parent's sensor technology and distribution resources. The company is led by Managing Director Cédric Morel (since 2004) alongside co-leader Jean-Marc Uehlinger for operations and technology.

Direct peers

• ORBCOMM: ORBCOMM provides satellite and cellular IoT telemetry solutions for remote asset monitoring, including tank and container level monitoring for oil & gas, chemical, and industrial gas customers. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Sensile in remote tank telemetry for fuel and gas distribution.
• PIUSI: PIUSI manufactures fluid handling equipment and fuel management systems including tank level monitoring and fleet telemetry for fuel distributors. Its presence in petrol station, lubricant, and fuel distribution customers overlaps with Sensile's core oil & gas and lubricant customer base.
• Tekelek: Tekelek designs and manufactures ultrasonic and other tank level sensors with wireless telemetry for oil, LPG, water, and chemical tanks. Its product range and customer base in LPG and heating oil monitoring directly overlap with Sensile's gas tank and oil/lubricant tank applications.

Broad incumbents

• Emerson (Rosemount): Emerson's Rosemount business provides tank gauging and level measurement instrumentation widely used in oil & gas terminals and chemical plants. It competes with Sensile in large industrial tank monitoring deployments where customers prefer a single automation supplier.
• Endress+Hauser: Endress+Hauser is a global leader in industrial process measurement instrumentation, including level, flow, and pressure sensors used in tanks across chemical, oil & gas, and water industries. It competes with Sensile at the instrumentation layer in larger tank gauging projects where broader process automation is bundled.
• Honeywell: Honeywell offers tank gauging and terminal automation solutions through its Process Solutions business for oil & gas, chemical, and refining customers. Its larger portfolio competes with Sensile in enterprise-scale storage tank monitoring where full process automation is bundled with instrumentation.
• VEGA Grieshaber: VEGA manufactures level measurement sensors and instrumentation for liquids and bulk solids used in chemical, water, and oil & gas storage tanks. It represents a broader incumbent alternative to Sensile's telemetry units for industrial tank monitoring customers.

Others

• WIKA Group: WIKA is Sensile's parent company and a global leader in measurement technology for pressure, temperature, level, and flow. While not a direct competitor, WIKA's broader instrumentation portfolio overlaps with the categories Sensile serves and the parent relationship shapes Sensile's go-to-market and product roadmap.

Emerging players

• Adero: Adero offers smart, tag-based asset tracking and remote monitoring for tanks, containers, and inventory in industrial and consumer settings. Its emerging IoT platform partially overlaps with Sensile's Oil Link™ web portal and remote tank visibility offering.
• Adeunis: Adeunis designs low-power IoT/M2M sensors and wireless telemetry modules for smart building, smart industry, and infrastructure monitoring. Its cellular and LoRaWAN connectivity products represent an adjacent emerging player competing at the sensor/connectivity layer.
