What SENSE Software does

SENSE Software Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Warsaw-based software company founded in 2018 that develops specialized thermal imaging analysis software for professional thermovision diagnostics. The company serves inspectors and engineering teams across solar energy, aerial/UAV inspection, industrial manufacturing, medical, construction, energy & utilities, and petroleum verticals, with its product suite designed to convert, edit, analyze, and report on thermal image and video data at scale.

The core product portfolio consists of PV SENSE (an automated solar inspection reporting platform with orthophoto map generation and ML-based defect detection), SENSE Batch (batch thermal image and video editing capable of processing 50+ images per minute), SENSE Reporting (report generation at up to 100 pages per minute), and SENSE Thermal Converter (radiometric format conversion across FLIR, DJI, and Autel formats). Underlying technology includes proprietary convolutional neural network algorithms for automatic solar panel fault detection, developed under a PLN 6.7M EU-co-financed R&D project, alongside classical computer vision for thermogram processing. A flagship combined offering, FLIR Thermal Studio, embeds SENSE's technology under the FLIR Systems brand globally.

The business model blends multiple revenue streams: subscription and perpetual software licenses sold directly via a FastSpring-powered e-commerce storefront with free demo downloads (product-led growth), OEM/royalty revenue from FLIR Thermal Studio distribution, regional channel partnerships in UK, France, Sweden, USA, China, and Australia, and sales-led consulting services for custom thermal imaging solutions in industrial automation, medical, energy, and petroleum. Pricing is publicly disclosed only for SENSE Thermal Converter (€129 three-month, €249 annual, €399 perpetual). The company operates with a small specialist team and has reached customers on six continents, but no revenue figure is publicly disclosed.

Core offering

SENSE Software develops and sells thermal imaging analysis software for professional thermovision diagnostics. Its product suite includes PV SENSE (AI-assisted solar panel inspection), SENSE Batch (batch radiometric image editing), SENSE Reporting (thermal report generation), and SENSE Thermal Converter (radiometric file format conversion), with the FLIR Thermal Studio offering bundled via an OEM partnership with FLIR Systems. The company also provides custom consulting services for thermal imaging solutions and on-site training for inspectors and integrators.

Product overview

SENSE Software offers a portfolio of thermal imaging software products designed for professional thermovision diagnostics across multiple industries. The core product suite consists of PV SENSE (automated solar panel inspection), SENSE Batch (batch thermal image/video editing), SENSE Reporting (report generation), and SENSE Thermal Converter (format conversion). These products work both independently and in combination—the SENSE Thermal Converter feeds data into SENSE Batch for editing, which in turn supports SENSE Reporting for creating final inspection reports. PV SENSE operates as a standalone cloud-accessible platform for solar inspections. The company also provides custom consulting services for industry-specific thermal imaging solutions. A notable product is FLIR Thermal Studio, a combined offering where SENSE Software's capabilities are bundled and sold under the FLIR Systems brand globally, making SENSE the largest partner of FLIR Systems.
