COMPANY
SenSanna was built around a simple idea: valuable operational data often exists where it is difficult or uneconomic to measure. The Clip-On Sensing Platform and Passive Wireless SAW Platform, supported by Applications Engineering, extend practical access to that data.
Customer-funded engineering, government-supported programs, issued patents and field testing have advanced SenSanna’s sensing and data-acquisition capabilities. Historical revenue has primarily come from commercial NRE/customer-funded development and related work.
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
SenSanna has advanced through successive applications, developed through real-world measurement challenges, and expanded through commercial and government-supported engagements.
Problem / engagement
SAW sensor-development programs, electrical measurement challenges and passive wireless applications established the measurement problems to solve.
Application
Customer-funded development for global energy companies, industrial equipment companies, utilities and aerospace/government programs applied sensing to practical measurement problems.
Capability expansion
Issued patents, field testing and application-specific engineering expanded capability.
