Sensor technology is a recurring theme across PRYSTINE, i-HeCoBatt, AutoDrive, and SHOW, covering safety-critical and monitoring applications.
DATIK INFORMACION INTELIGENTE S.L.
Spanish sensor and data intelligence company specializing in automotive safety systems, driver monitoring, and smart mobility solutions.
Their core work
DATIK is a Spanish technology company specializing in intelligent sensor systems and monitoring solutions for the transport and automotive sector. They develop embedded computing systems, safety-critical electronics, and driver monitoring technologies, contributing sensor expertise and data intelligence to large European automotive R&D initiatives. Their work spans from autonomous driving safety architectures to electric vehicle thermal management and driver fitness assessment systems.
What they specialise in
PRYSTINE focused on programmable systems for intelligent automobiles, AutoDrive on fail-safe electronic components, and SHOW on shared automated transport.
i-HeCoBatt specifically addressed intelligent heating and cooling solutions for EV battery packs using additive printed technology.
PANACEA (2021-2024) focuses on practical tools to monitor and assess commercial drivers' fitness to drive.
SHOW (2020-2024) addresses shared automation operating models including MaaS and LaaS for public transport.
How they've shifted over time
DATIK's early H2020 work (2015-2018) centered on embedded computing architectures, semiconductor components, and safety-critical systems for autonomous driving — deep hardware-oriented R&D. From 2019 onward, their focus broadened significantly toward applied mobility solutions: EV battery thermal management, shared automated transport services (MaaS), and driver health monitoring. This shift suggests a move from component-level electronics toward system-level intelligent transport solutions with clearer real-world deployment paths.
DATIK is moving from low-level automotive electronics toward applied intelligent mobility services — future partners should expect expertise in sensor-driven monitoring and smart transport systems rather than pure semiconductor R&D.
How they like to work
DATIK primarily joins projects as a third party (4 of 6 projects), indicating they contribute specialized technical capabilities — likely sensor hardware or data processing — to larger consortia without carrying major work package leadership. With 240 unique consortium partners across 22 countries, they operate within very large collaborative networks but as a niche contributor rather than a project driver. This makes them a reliable specialist to bring in for targeted sensor and monitoring tasks within bigger initiatives.
DATIK has been embedded in large European consortia, connecting with 240 unique partners across 22 countries. Their network is broad but driven by their role as a third-party contributor to major transport and digital innovation projects rather than by direct bilateral partnerships.
What sets them apart
DATIK sits at the intersection of sensor hardware and intelligent transport software — a combination that is relatively uncommon among Spanish tech companies in H2020. Their progression from semiconductor-level safety systems to driver wellness monitoring and shared mobility platforms gives them a full-stack understanding of automotive intelligence, from the chip to the service layer. For consortium builders, they offer a compact, specialized contributor who can handle sensor integration and intelligent monitoring without the overhead of a large partner.
