Sensoric Solutions Optic and Motion GmbH

What Sensoric Solutions Optic and Motion GmbH does

Sensoric Solutions Optic and Motion GmbH is a German manufacturer of optical-inertial sensor systems for high-precision vehicle dynamics measurement, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Wetzlar-Dutenhofen, Hesse, with a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary in Naples, Florida established in May 2025. The company builds sensors that combine a proprietary non-contact optical spatial-filter method (infrared LED illumination of the road surface, grid-shaped photodiode array) with an integrated MEMS-based IMU (accelerometer and gyroscope), fusing the drift-free optical signal with the high-bandwidth inertial signal to deliver 0.1% speed accuracy, 0.1° sideslip-angle precision, and 1 kHz sampling across its product line (OMS 4 single-axis, OMS 7 two-axis, OMS Race motorsport variant, and the OMS 7 Race ECU configuration; the newer HMS laser-based height-measurement module and 2026 WVS wheel-vector system extend coverage to full vehicle kinematics).

The product portfolio is sold into automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, professional motorsport (including FIA-certified Formula 1 use), rail and public-transit operators, material handling, and Formula Student university teams, with named logos spanning Williams F1, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG Petronas, GM, Honda, Toyota, TRD, Continental, Bridgestone, Bosch, Nexen Tire, Stadler, Verkehrsbetriebe Karlsruhe, and Crown Equipment. Revenue mechanics are hardware-led (sensor heads, ECUs, integrator boxes, mounting accessories) with optional licensed software add-ons (brake/acceleration measurement extensions) and post-sale service revenue (calibration, repair, training, maintenance), executed through direct enterprise sales, a service hotline, and a global distribution network covering 13+ countries. The company holds ISO 9001 certification (since end of 2023, renewed October 2025) and FIA certification for the OMS Race (October 2024), and is privately held with 7 employees and no disclosed external funding.

Core offering

Sensoric Solutions designs and manufactures optical-inertial sensor systems for high-precision vehicle dynamics measurement. Its OMS product line combines non-contact optical measurement using the spatial filter method with integrated IMU (inertial measurement unit) data to deliver drift-free, slip-independent measurement of speed, sideslip angle, pitch/roll angles, accelerations, and angular rates. The portfolio also includes complementary laser-based height measurement (HMS) and wheel kinematics (WVS) systems, targeted at automotive testing, motorsport, rail, and ADAS/autonomous development.

Product overview

Sensoric Solutions offers a specialized portfolio of optical sensor systems for precise vehicle dynamics measurement. The core product line includes three optical sensor models: OMS 4 (single-axis for distance/speed), OMS 7 (two-axis for comprehensive vehicle dynamics), and OMS Race (compact motorsport-optimized variant, FIA certified for F1). The OMS 7 is also available in a Race ECU variant. These optical-inertial sensors work by combining non-contact optical spatial filter measurement with integrated IMU technology to deliver high-precision data on speed, sideslip angle, acceleration, and angular rates at up to 1kHz. The product line extends through complementary systems: HMS (Height Measurement System) adds laser-based ride height and road-referenced angle measurement, while WVS (Wheel Vector System) captures full wheel kinematics including camber, toe, and steering angles. All sensors share a common web-based configuration interface and output data via CAN/CAN-FD and Ethernet. Mounting accessories and optional software extensions (brake/acceleration measurement) complete the portfolio. The company serves automotive testing, motorsport (including Formula 1 and Formula Student), rail vehicles, and industrial applications.
