Environmental monitoring

Measurement for people and the environment

Measuring technology serves the people, warning of the dangers of nature. Sensitive sensor technology provides early warnings of natural disasters such as storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis or volcano eruptions.

In addition, measuring technology is becoming increasingly necessary for managing the negative influences of human activity on the environment. Only when energy flows and emissions can be measured exactly with the help of a suitable sensor technology can one understand the contexts and therefore implement measures for environmental protection.

Furthermore, even when people collaborate and do not work against the forces of nature, sensor technology renders its services: In many cases, alternative energy production, generated from wind and water, solar and geothermal energy, requires exact pressure and flow measurements.

Sensortechnics supports product, system and plant engineers with a wide range of sensor solutions and the ability to optimise the sensors to their specific requirements.

Successes and examples of use

Altimeters, barometric air pressure measurement; level and flow sensors for fuel cells; analysis of fumes and waste gas, exhaust and air supply, pressure, humidity, oxygen and flow sensors for biomass plants, power transformers and capacitors as well as liquid level measurement.
