Home Detector Sensor Network (HDSN)

What Home Detector Sensor Network (HDSN) does

HDSN (SAS Home Detection Sensor Network) is a French predictive-maintenance technology company that designs, manufactures, and markets the E-PREDICT product line for early detection of electrical faults inside switchboards and electrical cabinets. The company's core technology combines proprietary nanosensors — which detect abnormal variations in gases, VOCs, and micro-particles released during equipment degradation — with AI algorithms that learn each cabinet's operating environment to suppress baseline noise and surface malfunction signatures days before smoke, heat, or fire events occur. Manufacturing is conducted in-house in France, and HDSN has produced more than 30,000 sensors cumulatively. The product is certified by CNPP (Certificate N°83.24.221), carries CE marking, is manufactured to UL-compliant standards, and is protected by worldwide patents.

HDSN commercializes E-PREDICT through four variants — Industry (general industrial plug-and-play), Marine (tropicalized for naval and commercial vessels), Battery (for charging cabinets and thermal runaway prevention), and Nuclear (announced, for hostile environments) — plus a Dry Contact version co-developed with Actemium for integration into existing PLCs and automation systems. Go-to-market is enterprise-led and multi-channel: direct sales, a certified integrator network (Actemium/Vinci, EQUANS, Unitel, ITESA), OEM integration with RITTAL's premium electrical cabinets, and distribution through insurance carrier partners (GENERALI, MMA, MS AMLIN, Verlingue, Abeille, RiskCare) that recommend the technology to policyholders as loss-prevention. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, professional services (installation, certification, eLearning), and recurring cloud supervision and monitoring subscriptions. Named customers include Digital Realty, FORLAM Group (12-site industrial rollout), Becton Dickinson (via EQUANS), the French Navy, and Schneider Electric-aligned deployments, indicating traction across data center, industrial, naval, and insurance verticals. The company is a privately held SAS headquartered in Martigues with €414,300 of share capital, 1-10 employees, and no disclosed institutional funding.
