Sensiotivity

What Sensiotivity does

Sensiotivity UG is a Frankfurt, Germany–based private company founded in 2013 that designs and supplies customizable industrial sensors and measurement technology for IIoT and manufacturing automation. Its product platform is anchored on a proprietary mechanical-and-electrical transducer core, from which the company has derived more than 20 patentable sensor and system configurations spanning five product lines: Displacement Sensors; Acceleration & Angle Sensors (including 1D/2D/3D IMUs and angular rate sensors); Torque Sensors, with Reaction Torque and Torque Spokes variants; Flow & Pressure Sensors for water, oil & gas, and industrial process use; and Systems/Smart Sensor Modules that allow customers to integrate the sensors into their own products. The technology is engineered for harsh industrial environments (>250°C, high radioactivity, strong magnetic fields), with EMC immunity, vibration immunity, no signal drift, sensor fusion that delivers multiple parameters through a single output signal, and what the company describes as 30–70% efficiency and integration advantages versus incumbent sensors.

The company serves four primary verticals — Automotive (chassis control systems such as CDC, ARC/ARS, AKC), Automation (Industry 4.0 and predictive maintenance), Railway (pantographs, wheels, bogies, doors, brakes, and rail-condition monitoring), and broader Industrial applications (pumps, motor feedback, energy, construction, agriculture, aviation, drones, medical). Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise sales with no self-serve or e-commerce channel; pricing is custom-quoted per project and customers are routed through direct contact. Revenue mechanics combine discrete hardware sales with custom development of smart sensor modules and integration solutions. The company is a founder-owned German UG (Unternehmergesellschaft) led by managing director H. Ghanem, with 1–10 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, no named customers, and a global distribution-channel claim that is currently evident only at the Germany / Europe level.

Core offering

Sensiotivity designs and manufactures customizable industrial sensors built on a proprietary mechanical and electrical transducer platform. The company offers displacement sensors, acceleration and angle sensors (including IMU variants), torque sensors, and flow and pressure sensors, plus integrated smart sensor modules for industrial customers. Applications span automotive chassis control, industrial automation/IIoT, railway safety, and broader industrial verticals such as energy, medical, and aerospace.

Product overview

Sensiotivity provides an innovative sensor technology platform centered on mechanical and electrical transducers, encompassing five core product lines: Displacement Sensors, Acceleration & Angle Sensors (including multi-axis IMU variants), Torque Sensors (with Reaction Torque and Spokes sub-products), Flow & Pressure Sensors (covering Pressure, Level, and Flow measurement), and Systems/Smart Sensor Modules. The product portfolio shares common advantages including high linearity and repeatability, EMC insensitivity, vibration resistance, no signal drift, high dynamic range, and IIoT/Industry 4.0 readiness with minimized memory requirements. Sensors are designed for harsh environments including temperatures over 250°C, high radioactivity, and strong magnetic fields. Target applications span Automotive (CDC, ARC, AKC systems), Automation, Railway, industrial machinery, and medical technology.

Broad incumbents

• TE Connectivity: Global supplier of connectors and sensors including position, pressure, and vibration sensors for industrial, automotive, and railway customers. Broad incumbent with overlapping product categories to Sensiotivity and similar automotive and rail verticals, but with a far wider portfolio beyond sensors.
• Bosch Sensortec: Large established MEMS and environmental sensor manufacturer serving automotive, consumer, and industrial markets. Broad incumbent competing with Sensiotivity on IMU/acceleration and pressure sensing at scale, but with a much wider portfolio across consumer and automotive where Sensiotivity does not compete.
• Honeywell Sensing & Safety Technologies: Global industrial sensor manufacturer with broad portfolios in pressure, position, torque, and airflow sensing for industrial, aerospace, and railway applications. Overlaps with Sensiotivity in torque, pressure, and harsh-environment sensing but operates as a diversified incumbent rather than a focused transducer specialist.
