SENIS AG

Their core work

SENIS AG is a Swiss sensor technology company that develops precision magnetic and current sensing devices. Their product portfolio includes magnetic angular sensors engineered to maintain high accuracy at high rotational speeds, and autonomous wireless current sensors designed for aircraft power line monitoring. They operate as a product-oriented SME, building proprietary sensor hardware that they both commercialize independently and deploy as specialist technology within large aerospace consortium programs. Based in Zug, Switzerland, they sit at the intersection of precision instrumentation and applied electronics for demanding industrial and aerospace environments.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both H2020 projects date from 2018 and no keyword metadata is available, which makes a reliable timeline evolution analysis impossible. What the project titles do reveal is a dual track active at the same time: FAMAS represents proprietary product development driven by internal IP (SME Instrument Phase 1), while AMPWISE represents applied sensor deployment within a large aerospace program (Clean Sky 2). Whether their focus shifted after 2021 cannot be determined from available H2020 data alone.

Their Clean Sky 2 participation suggests they are positioning their sensor technology toward aerospace certification-grade applications, which typically opens doors to defence, space, and high-reliability industrial markets.

How they like to work

SENIS works in very small, focused consortia — just 3 unique partners across 2 projects — and takes both leading and contributing roles depending on context. They coordinated their own technology development via the SME Instrument and served as a specialist sensor supplier within a larger aerospace-led consortium via Clean Sky 2. This pattern is typical of product-owning SMEs that selectively join programs where their specific component is needed, rather than building broad collaborative networks.

SENIS has worked with only 3 unique partners across 3 countries, reflecting a highly selective collaboration profile focused on specific aerospace and sensor industry players. Their network is narrow but technically targeted rather than geographically or thematically broad.

What sets them apart

SENIS is notable for owning the IP behind the sensors they deploy — FAMAS was a self-coordinated commercialization effort, not a research service delivered to someone else. This means potential partners gain access to proprietary sensor hardware backed by the company's own development investment. Their validated presence inside the Clean Sky 2 program also signals that their technology has been assessed against aerospace-grade standards, which few SMEs at their scale can claim.

Highlights from their portfolio

• AMPWISE
  Largest EC award (EUR 99,750) and longest project duration (2018–2021), demonstrating sustained aerospace engagement under the demanding Clean Sky 2 framework.
• FAMAS
  Coordinated by SENIS themselves under the SME Instrument, confirming they own and are actively commercializing a proprietary magnetic angular sensor product.
