What 2M Engineering does

2M Engineering is a privately held Dutch sensor product development company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Valkenswaard, near Eindhoven. The company provides end-to-end engineering services covering the full product lifecycle from sensing principle and system architecture through embedded firmware, algorithms, regulatory certification, and ISO 13485-certified production. It operates across three primary verticals — medical and health wearables, point-of-care diagnostic devices, and industrial and environmental monitoring — serving OEM partners, hospitals, research institutions, and industrial companies with sensor products intended for regulated or demanding environments.

The product portfolio spans the CE-certified SleepID sleep tracker (developed for SleepFysio), a wireless ECG and multi-sensor data logger for Lode, a 9DOF motion sensor suit for InMotionVR, and a haptic inclination sensor integrated into Lazersport cycling helmets. Industrial offerings center on the patented RSens ATEX-certified compressor wear sensor (~50 µm resolution under 250 bar pressure, Zones 0 and 1) deployed with Howden Thomassen Compression Systems, and a fiber-optic sensing platform using Fiber-Bragg-Grating technology for gas, water, and hydrogen leakage detection. Environmental monitoring is delivered through a distributed sensing platform combining water level, flow, conductivity, and temperature sensors with RS485, BLE, LoRa, 4G/LTE-M, and WiFi connectivity, deployed in Dutch cities including Breda and Roosendaal via the iSago OEM partnership. The distributed platform exposes an open API for SCADA, smart city dashboards, and third-party analytics, with AI-driven anomaly detection for early flood warnings and blockage detection.

2M Engineering generates revenue through three streams: project-based engineering services and product development engagements, OEM/ODM manufacturing of modular hardware and software platforms (including ISO 13485-certified production via DutchMedicalDevices), and licensing of proprietary IP such as the RSens system. The company employs approximately 20 multidisciplinary engineers and operates a sales-led, enterprise-focused go-to-market motion through direct B2B engagement. Pricing is project-quoted and not publicly disclosed. Notable customers and partners include University Hospital Maastricht, Erasmus Medical Center, Howden Thomassen Compression Systems, Lazersport, SleepFysio, Lode, Dashtag, InMotionVR, iSago, and — most recently — the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) and Lockheed Martin through a six-year e-Pilot military aviation partnership announced in November 2025.
