Sensor Development for Industrial Automation & Robotics
PRM.DEV designs industrial sensors tailored to your use case — from electronics and embedded firmware to integration, certification, and production launch. These solutions deliver accurate measurements, stable product quality, and reliable equipment operation. When connected to cloud analytics, sensors also help detect issues early and optimise operating modes.
Services and focus areas
Each sensor type is customised for measurement range, environment (including sanitary and hazardous areas), interfaces, and industry standards.
