Sensors for agriculture
Sensor solutions for agricultural machinery and agricultural systems - adaptable to your installation situation, media-proof, ready to install.
Challenges in agriculture
Anyone planning or using modern agricultural technology today faces a variety of challenges: extreme environments, changing media, fluctuating temperatures and a high demand for low maintenance. Sensors must switch reliably, even when dust, vibration or temperature fluctuations are part of everyday life.
It's not just about the pure fill level or flow rate - it's about operational readiness. The question is: Is the machine running when it needs to run? Many sensors from the catalog only meet these requirements to a limited extent. They are too large, too sensitive or simply unsuitable for the installation position in the tractor, in the dosing system or in the tank module.
What's more, every application is a little different. And this is precisely where the risk lies - because standard solutions rarely work without adaptation.

Our solution for sensor technology in agriculture
We supply sensors that do not fit "roughly", but are precisely matched to what your machine really needs. Our components are compact, robust and ready for immediate use. They function contactlessly, without auxiliary energy and for years.
We don't think in terms of the product, but in terms of the application: What does the installation situation look like? Which medium is to be detected? Which switching threshold is decisive? Whether float switch, suction lance or flow sensor - we deliver a functioning solution. Directly from the developer. Directly from our own production.

Project examples from agricultural engineering
Level sensors for fertilizer containers: Float switch made of chemical-resistant plastic with defined switching threshold - precisely adapted to the shape of the container.
Suction lances for pesticide canisters: Dual function: Media removal plus level monitoring - with integrated non-return valve and ventilation.
Flow sensors for irrigation systems: Magnetic switching technology from 0.1 l/min - also works with air bubbles and without a power supply. Position sensors in harvesting machines: Contactless detection of flaps, covers or sliders - switches even in the presence of dirt and moisture.

Why our solution works
Our sensors are built for the real world - not for the laboratory. Instead of relying on idealized environments, we check in advance how your medium, your mechanics and your installation situation interact.

This adaptation means less work, not more. And with consistent quality - because we manufacture, test and document everything in-house.

FAQ - Sensor technology in agricultural engineering
Which materials are suitable for aggressive media such as liquid manure or pesticides?
We use media-resistant plastics such as PVDF, PE or PA, depending on the concentration and medium. We also supply stainless steel variants for higher temperatures or chemical loads.
How small can the installation space for the sensor be?
Many of our sensors are miniaturized or can be flexibly adapted. Especially in mobile devices or narrow containers, we develop variants that fit with millimeter precision.
Can I measure the flow rate and fill level with one sensor?
Not in one component, but we combine functions in one assembly - e.g. in suction lances with integrated level monitoring. This saves space and components.
Is retrofitting to existing agricultural machinery possible?
Yes, our sensors can be mechanically and electrically integrated into many existing systems - with threads, flanges or direct mounting. We can advise you on the optimum design.
How are the sensors connected electrically?
We supply with an open cable, pre-assembled plug or special connections as required - compatible with your control or bus system.
How does the project start?
It's simple: you tell us the medium, installation type and desired function. We check the feasibility, supply drawings or samples and support you right through to series release - directly, quickly and technically.
