Strategische Partnerschaft Sensorik e.V.
About us
A strategic partner to Bavaria’s sensor industry—for 20 years.
What began in 2006 as a regional network is now one of Bavaria’s most effective cluster organizations: The Strategic Partnership for Sensor Technology (Strategische Partnerschaft Sensorik e.V.) connects companies, research institutions, and politics—and provides operational support where it is needed. Not as an advisory body that merely makes recommendations, but as a long-term partner that thinks ahead, helps develop technology, and offers a wide range of services.
For small and medium-sized enterprises, membership thus also means access to an external research department that is immediately ready for action—from electronic hardware and firmware to market-ready prototypes.

• Free specialist forums
• Direct contact with experts and research institutions
• Targeted identification of technology trends
• Practice-oriented technology sprints
Technology scouting and support for development projects
• Support in developing sensor-based solutions
• Technology and partner scouting
• Consulting on securing funding
• Programs to secure skilled workers
A Bridge to Global Markets – Increasing the Visibility of the Industry and Its Companies
• Public relations
• Engagement with policymakers
• Participation in international trade shows
• Promoting global competitiveness
Our Focus Areas:
• Smart Sensors & Measurement Technology
• Electronic Systems
• Digitalization & Digital Transformation
• Industrial IoT
• Semiconductor technologies
• Safety & security
• Automotive & automation
• Environmental technologies
Sensorik-Bayern GmbH – operational development expertise within the network
Sensorik-Bayern GmbH is a research partner and development service provider for innovative sensor systems and electronic solutions – from the initial idea to the finished prototype series. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Strategic Partnership for Sensor Technology (Strategische Partnerschaft Sensorik e.V.), it is excellently networked within the Bavarian sensor technology ecosystem and brings deep technological expertise directly to companies.
This gives small and medium-sized enterprises access to an external research department that is immediately ready for use—without the need to first build up internal specialized knowledge.
What we develop:
The team supports customers from the feasibility study through electronics and firmware design to the production of complete prototype series. Our core competencies include:
• Wireless sensor networks (Bluetooth Low Energy, Open Thread, LTE-M, NB-IoT) – e.g., for smart cities or environmental asset monitoring
• IIoT measurement systems for intelligent condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
• Non-intrusive retrofit solutions for the digitalization of existing plants and infrastructure
• Flexible 3D textile sensors for robotics, medical technology, and underwater applications (Bionic RoboSkin)
• Digital twins through precise position and pose tracking for autonomous systems
• Secure and intelligent electronic systems (security-by-design) for trustworthy products in Industry 4.0
• Application-specific sensor systems for automotive, medical, and environmental technology
More than just contract research:
Sensorik-Bayern GmbH thinks ahead with its own R&D projects—it builds expertise in future-oriented fields before the market demands it. Companies thus benefit from proven know-how in areas such as Industrial IoT, robotics, digital twins, and AI-supported manufacturing—when they need it, it’s already available.

Products & services
Retrofitting of traffic signals (DigiLight)
Many existing traffic signal systems operate independently and without networking. Our solution enables the seamless digitization of this existing infrastructure: A compact optical sensor detects traffic signal states-such as color changes or flashing-directly at the display. This non-invasive retrofit requires no manipulation of the electronics. Data is transmitted flexibly via USB or energy-efficiently via wireless communication (Bluetooth Low Energy, Open Thread).
3DHandSENS
Textile sensors open up new possibilities for integrating sensor technology into movable and flexible applications. The Bionic RoboSkin is the result of dedicated research and development: by embedding sensory elements and electrical connections into three-dimensional textile composites, robust, adaptable solutions are created for demanding environments. Thanks to moisture-resistant connections and highly compact modules, the sensor technology is suitable for applications ranging from underwater robotics to medical technology, such as in the context of a 3D-printed exoskeleton.
Sensor networks using Openthread (AdaPEdge)
In modern electronics manufacturing, controlling environmental and production parameters is key to quality. AdaPEdge makes it possible to digitize existing systems with manageable effort. At the heart of this innovation is the Secure Smart Sub-Edge Module (S³EM)—a six-layer, ARM-based multilayer module measuring just 22 x 20 x 1 mm³. The third hardware generation already integrates 9-axis sensor technology (gyroscope, magnetometer, acceleration), precision temperature sensor (±0.08 °C accuracy), as well as three switchable antennas for robust 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. The unique feature: This module includes interfaces for connecting external sensors and multiple level converters, allowing sensors with different digital levels to be connected. As a module, the assembly can also be mounted on a carrier board. The closed ecosystem of sensor mesh and edge module can be integrated into virtually any existing manufacturing IT system via MQTT. Added value is created especially when retrofitting systems with limited digitalization: AdaPEdge makes process deviations visible early on, detects substandard or counterfeit materials, and links quality metrics with environmental and machine data.
