The foundation for the company's success was laid by inductive sensors with 3 or 4 times the standard switching distances. In the late 1990s, company founder Peter Heimlicher focused on the digitalisation of his products. The Contrinex-Asic for standard inductive sensors made it possible to build a scalable, highly efficient technology platform. In addition, Contrinex developed smart sensors specially designed for OEMs and system integrators. They are suitable for high-resolution direct and indirect multimode measurements and can be used in predictive maintenance, production monitoring or process control.
