Their core work

SENSOWAVE is a Madrid-based technology SME that develops IoT and data-driven solutions for livestock management and smart farming. Their work centers on integrating sensor networks, blockchain traceability, and big data analytics to improve animal welfare monitoring, farm productivity, and supply chain transparency. They build practical digital tools that connect on-farm hardware (sensors, autonomous systems) with cloud-based intelligence platforms, bridging the gap between precision agriculture research and commercial farming operations.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

SENSOWAVE started with a focused livestock management system (STEPLA PLUS, 2016), then broadened significantly into the wider agri-tech digital ecosystem. By 2018-2019, their projects incorporated blockchain, autonomous vehicles, cyber-physical systems, and cloud computing — moving from single-farm tools toward connected, data-intensive agricultural platforms. The progression shows a clear shift from traditional livestock IT solutions toward full-stack digital agriculture combining IoT hardware, distributed ledger technology, and autonomous systems.

SENSOWAVE is moving toward end-to-end digital agriculture platforms that combine IoT, blockchain traceability, and autonomous systems — expect future work at the intersection of animal welfare compliance and supply chain digitization.

How they like to work

SENSOWAVE predominantly leads projects, coordinating 2 out of 3 H2020 initiatives — unusual assertiveness for an SME. Despite their small size, they have built a remarkably broad network of 65 unique partners across 14 countries, suggesting they are comfortable assembling and managing large international consortia. This makes them a viable lead partner for agri-tech proposals, not just a technology contributor.

With 65 unique consortium partners spread across 14 countries, SENSOWAVE has built a wide European network for a company of its size. Their partnerships span both the agri-food and digital technology sectors, giving them reach across Southern, Central, and Northern Europe.

What sets them apart

SENSOWAVE stands out as a rare SME that coordinates EU research consortia rather than just participating in them — two coordinator roles across three projects shows genuine project leadership capacity. Their specific combination of livestock domain knowledge with blockchain and IoT integration is uncommon; most agri-tech SMEs focus on either hardware or software, while SENSOWAVE bridges both. For consortium builders, they offer a tested Spanish SME coordinator with proven ability to manage large multi-country teams in the agri-food digital space.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CATTLECHAIN 4.0
  Their largest project (EUR 815K), combining blockchain with IoT for cattle traceability and welfare — a high-demand topic as EU food chain transparency regulations tighten.
• AFarCloud
  A broad Innovation Action involving autonomous farming robots and cloud-based cyber-physical systems, showing SENSOWAVE operating in a large-scale digital agriculture consortium beyond their livestock niche.
