FaradalC Sensors GmbH is the winner of the Brandenburg Innovation Award 2024
A technology from FaradalC Sensors GmbH, which makes it possible to determine the freshness and shelf life of food precisely, convinced the jury of the Brandenburg Innovation Award. The Brandenburg-based company is one of the four award winners in 2024 - a great success! The innovative product submitted by FaradalC Sensors and now award-winning is specifically the MECS technology for producing miniaturized electrochemical gas sensors.
Rainer Ihra, Head of Business Development, is pleased with the response to the new technology: "Our MECS technology is revolutionizing the market, as the novel small electrochemical sensors (approx. 2x2mm) enable completely new applications. In addition to small wearable measuring systems (wearables) and integration into 'smart devices', there is a great need for the traceability of food packaged in a modified atmosphere, where small 'tags' can now monitor the development of the gas composition in the packaging in addition to determining the location. This leads to a higher quality of food, improved logistics processes, and reduced waste. The fact that we are now receiving the Innovation Award for this is a real seal of approval for us, which underlines the value of our unique technology."
Small and robust electronic sensors with low power consumption
By measuring gases such as O2 and CO2 with electrochemical gas sensors, food manufacturers and retailers can now obtain important data on the condition and freshness of their packaged food and predict even more accurately how long it will last. Until now, such sensors have been complex to manufacture, relatively large, expensive, and sensitive to vibrations. The robust solid electrolyte required for this is developed and manufactured in a laboratory in Teltow. The miniaturized electrochemical gas sensors from FaradalC Sensors GmbH are small, have low power consumption, and can be installed in any food packaging.
Production in high quantities and at low costs
The prototype of the world's first oxygen gas sensor on a microchip was presented to selected food logistics customers back in February 2024. The official market launch took place in June 2024. With the innovative MECS technology (micro-electrochemical-system technology), all disadvantages are now overcome. Similar to MEMS, manufacturing is carried out with proven semiconductor processes in high quantities at lower costs. With the new gas sensor technology, companies can quickly and efficiently improve their quality processes.
