In an ever-growing digital world, Danfoss Industrial Automation has repositioned itself as Danfoss Sensing Solutions, representing the union of application-driven sensor technologies and unparalleled commitment to helping customers navigate the digital frontier.
“Global megatrends increase the need for sensing. OEMs, wholesalers and installers are adapting and asking questions like ‘What is the right path for us?’ and ‘Who will help us make the right decisions as we move along?’. Our new name reflects our commitment to embracing the future,” says Danfoss vice president, Bert Labots. Paired with the name change, Danfoss customers will benefit from a broader product range, such as pressure transmitters, temperature sensors and position sensors, more diverse sensor technologies, and unrivalled support and services for sensor ecosystems, as well as swift and simple customisation.
“Danfoss Sensing Solutions provides industry-leading know-how and advanced sensor technologies. A crucial part of our journey is to extend our offering in digital sensor connectivity for wired and wireless sensor solutions. Another differentiator is diagnostics and smart sensors that allow for instant programmability and remote technical support on the sensor side,” he explains.
Danfoss Sensor Solutions is a global player offering a product portfolio within pressure, temperature and position sensors to a wide range of industries, such as mobile hydraulics, marine and offshore, water pumps, wind power, industrial hydraulics, and industrial air compressors. The company produces more than 250 000 products in 70 factories across 25 countries every day, developing and refining solutions in response to customers’ needs.
