Reinforcement in the area of wireless sensors
Sentinum has been part of the ifm group of companies as a wholly owned subsidiary of ifm group services since mid-May. The start-up from Nuremberg develops and sells wireless sensors that are mainly used for applications in the smart city and smart building sectors.
In addition to the three founders, Sentinum currently has one permanent employee and eleven students. Last month, the company moved into the ifm solutions buildings in Fürth. The young company will strengthen the area of pre-development there and test prototypes on the market. For this reason, Sentinum will continue to exist as a brand and thus operate in the smart city sector. To coordinate the integration into the ifm world and as an interface to the Group, Dr. Alexander Kahlig has been seconded to the management of Sentinum and will support the team there. "We can learn a lot from Sentium when it comes to wireless sensors in terms of energy consumption, battery operation, energy harvesting and various wireless technologies," says Dr. Kahlig: "We have already worked with Sentinum frequently on development projects in recent years and know the team very well. I am therefore confident that ifm will be able to implement the next steps in the development of wireless sensors so successfully."
Manuel Hart, one of the founders of Sentinum, adds: "It is a decisive milestone for us to be in the hands of a renowned group. The partnership with ifm opens doors to processes and resources that were previously unattainable as a start-up. In addition to expert knowledge in the areas of approval, purchasing or production processes, these are also the seemingly everyday things, such as simple advice from a lawyer or financial expert."
