History

The basic principles for infrared gas sensing are well known and proven to be very reliable but also quite expensive. To change this cost situation, SenseAir^® in the early 90´s started the development of a revolutionary, simple and low-cost wave-guide technology adopted for mass production. Not only was the cost much lower than existing competitors, but the performance of the new sensor was also much better. World-wide positive recognition was quickly established and SenseAir^® received several technology awards.
Since then over hundreds of thousands SenseAir^® microprocessor based IR sensors have been installed all over the world by some of the leading regulator companies.


SenseAir^®  has paved the way for today’s state-of-the-art technology by unique technical achievements:

1993
the first maintenance free gas sensor by micro-controller self calibration algorithms) – model 2001V     

1994
the first multi-sensor calibration system for PC automated gas sensor production

1996
the first polymer replicated and gold plated low-cost precision
measurement cell – model 2001VT™

1998
the first application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design targeting low-cost IR gas sensing – model family aSENSE™

2000
the first IAQ sensor with full building controls capabilities
integrated on board – model aSENSE™ –Climate Controller



SenseAir’s new direction:

CO2 Engine™
introduced in 2003, constitutes an example of
SenseAir’s new direction of development, which is:
extreme cost optimized sensors tailor-made for high volume
built-in applications in a variety of different kinds of consumer oriented products.
