IoT & smart sensors Make your product smart with IoT technologies from our portfolio

Have you made your products smart yet? Our connected sensor technologies speed up your R&D process.

GO TO TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO

IoT & smart sensors

Smart sensor solutions combine technology, intelligence and IoT connectivity to provide reliable data, that we can use to better understand our surroundings. Because of the low cost and big advantages, sensor applications have increased strongly over the last decades, from detecting threats and increasing our comfort to diagnosing diseases. They can make processes more efficient, extend our capabilities and guard our planet.

Key challenges for IoT & smart sensors

Verhaert - Icons - Technology 2

Understanding the physics

Knowing and understanding the physical principles allows you to select the right technology, or a combination of technologies, as well as determine and guarantee the expected performance.

Verhaert - Icons - Strategy definition

Limited resources

Sensors tend to be small, low-power and low-cost. This limits the solution space and demands to use and optimize state-of-the art components and integration techniques.

Verhaert - Icons - Multidisciplinary

Multidisciplinary approach

A smart and connected sensor requires fusing different disciplines: physics, electronics, algorithms, software, connectivity, mechanics, design and manufacturability.

Verhaert - Icons - Sensor

Think beyond the sensor

IoT enables integrating the sensor into a larger (cloud) system. Exploiting the capabilities of the overall system and making the right trade-offs leads to innovative and disruptive solutions.

Integrating specific technology

Verhaert selects, combines and integrates the most promising technologies to meet your application expectations. Wireless communication, sensors, battery energy harvesting, hard- and software, front- and backend development or integration, cloud or hybrid algorithms in order to develop IoT-based smart sensor nodes.
