Certification

A battery-powered sensor, available in ATEX-certified and standard versions, that brings predictive maintenance to any industrial environment.

Collaboration Scope

Objective

To make predictive maintenance accessible in potentially explosive atmospheres and on machines without a power source, expanding Sensorfact’s reach into new industrial markets.

"At the start of the project, we invested a lot of time in working together to understand exactly what needed to be built. This, combined with Vention's very high quality standards, ensured that every detail was thoroughly thought through before development began.”

Challenge

  • Developing a sensor safe for use in potentially explosive (ATEX) atmospheres.
  • Creating a reliable solution for machines without access to a direct power supply.
  • Ensuring industrial-grade durability to guarantee maximum uptime for end-users.
  • Accelerating a typically two-year development cycle to meet pressing market demand.

Solution

  • Engineered two distinct wireless, battery-powered sensor variants: one fully ATEX-certified and one standard version for hard-to-reach locations.
  • Used the Wockel® platform to provide a proven, secure foundation for the device's connectivity and core functions.
  • Managed the entire end-to-end process, from initial design and prototyping through to full certification and production readiness.
  • Established a close, collaborative partnership to integrate Sensorfact’s deep domain knowledge into the final hardware design.

Benefits

  • A production-ready device delivered in half the standard development time, accelerating market entry.
  • Unlocks previously inaccessible markets for Sensorfact, including the chemical, food, and other process industries.
  • Enables Sensorfact’s customers to achieve near-total asset monitoring across their facilities.
  • A robust and reliable connected device, built from the ground up for demanding industrial applications.
