What Osensa Innovations does
Osensa Innovations is a Burnaby, British Columbia-based developer and manufacturer of fiber optic temperature sensing and partial discharge monitoring products, founded in 2010 and operating as a private, founder/management-owned business with 1–10 employees. The company's core offering consists of fiber optic temperature probes (PRB series), multi-channel DIN-rail mountable transmitters and handheld signal conditioners (FTX and HTX series), UHF partial discharge monitoring solutions, and the OSENSAView Pro configuration and data-logging software, all built on proprietary optical fluorescent sensor technology that exploits the exponential time-dependent decay of fluorescence in doped crystal matrices to measure temperature. This approach yields complete immunity to electromagnetic interference, a measurement range from –200°C to +700°C, ±0.1°C calibrated accuracy, no requirement for field calibration, and 38 kV three-phase medium-voltage safety ratings, enabling deployments where conventional RTDs and thermocouples fail: switchgear and transformer hot-spot monitoring, MRI and ablation patient sensing, semiconductor process control, EV battery and motor monitoring, and cryogenic applications.
The company has shipped more than 10,000 transmitter-plus-probe systems and accumulated over 1,000,000 hours of 24/7 operation in the power industry across 100+ customers worldwide. It has more recently expanded its platform surface with EdgePi, a Raspberry Pi 4-based industrial PC/PLC/IoT gateway with MQTT/REST cloud connectivity, Node-RED low-code programming, and Grafana visualization, and EdgePi-Portal, a subscription cloud management portal, signaling a shift from pure hardware toward recurring edge and cloud revenue.
Go-to-market is sales-led and quote-based, combining direct enterprise sales with a hybrid distribution model that uses nine sales partners covering the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, plus specialized medical distribution through BioTemp4Life. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company sells through multi-year contracts, custom probe design services for OEM applications, and trade-show-driven demand generation at events such as NECA 2025, IEEE PES T&D 2026, and Global Energy Show 2026. Revenue is hardware-dominant across the FTX, HTX, PRB, EdgePi, and accessories lines, with OSENSAView Pro and EdgePi-Portal subscriptions forming a smaller recurring stream. Customer segments are diversified across six use cases (Power & Energy Utilities, Industrial Motor & Generator Manufacturers, Medical Devices & Healthcare, Surgical & Ablation Procedures, Electric Vehicles, and Semiconductor & Industrial Process Control), reducing single-vertical concentration but limiting any individual segment's scale relative to dedicated competitors.

Osensa Innovations product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Osensa Innovations designs, manufactures, and sells fiber optic temperature sensing systems (probes and signal conditioners/transmitters), partial discharge monitoring solutions, and supporting monitoring hardware and software (OSENSAView Pro, EdgePi). Products are sold for continuous 24/7 thermal monitoring and insulation-condition monitoring in high-voltage switchgear, transformers, motors, MRI/life-sciences environments, semiconductor process tools, and EV battery/power-electronics applications.
Product overview
OSENSA Innovations provides a comprehensive portfolio of fiber optic temperature sensing and partial discharge monitoring solutions organized across three main industry verticals: Data Centers & Energy, Life Sciences, and Process Control. The product architecture centers on fiber optic temperature probes (PRB series) that connect to signal conditioners/transmitters (FTX, HTX series), which output data via industrial protocols (Modbus RTU/RS-485, USB, 4-20mA) for integration with PLCs and control systems. Supporting the hardware is OSENSAView Pro configuration and data logging software, plus the EdgePi cloud-connected industrial PC/PLC platform for IoT applications. The company also offers partial discharge monitoring solutions for electrical infrastructure protection, along with extension cables and accessories. Their technology uses optical fluorescent sensing principles where the decay time of fluorescent materials indicates temperature, providing immunity to electromagnetic interference critical for MRI, high-voltage switchgear, and semiconductor process environments.
