What Geonica does

Geonica (legally SENSECA SPAIN, S.A.U., effective 1 January 2026) is a Spanish designer and manufacturer of professional environmental monitoring instrumentation, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Alcorcón, Madrid. The company builds ultra-low-power dataloggers (METEODATA/HYDRODATA Series 4000, plus the TAURO-4000 OEM variant) that form the backbone of automatic meteorological, hydrological, solar, and air-quality stations, paired with a broad proprietary sensor portfolio spanning precipitation gauges (DATARAIN-4000), RADAR water-level sensors, RADAR tide gauges (DATAMAR-2000/3000), two-axis solar trackers (SUNTRACKER-2000/3000), air-quality multisensors, lightning detectors, and the GEO-SolarSIM spectral irradiance sensor. Software is delivered through the GEO-DATAVIEW management suite and the WEBTRANS Ubiquitas internet platform, which provide remote configuration, data visualization, and SCADA integration for distributed station networks.

Geonica sells integrated hardware-plus-software solutions through direct sales to government agencies, renewable-energy developers, infrastructure operators, and industrial customers worldwide, with a recurring services layer for installation, commissioning, and maintenance. Flagship reference projects include 30 SEMS-PV stations for the 1,650 MW Benban Solar Park in Egypt (via TSK), the solar measurement system for the 950 MW NOOR Energy 1 plant in Dubai, more than 125 SEMS-3000 stations for India's NIWE National Solar Resource Assessment Network, a 10-station tide-gauge network for the Peruvian Navy's HIDRONAV directorate, the CanSIM spectral network for Natural Resources Canada, and the Bolivia and Penonomé PV projects supplied via ELECNOR and TSK/Avanzalia respectively. The company is integrated into the Senseca group as of January 2026 and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary under Spanish private-limited-company law (CIF: ES-A28363364).
