Measurement systems enabling precision, safety and vehicle intelligence

Market challenge

  • Automotive and transportation industries require robust, accurate sensors under heat, vibration and dynamic stress  
  • The shift toward hydrogen mobility introduces needs for real-time, compact cryogenic level and mass monitoring  
  • Interior sensing is evolving: automakers now aim to detect driver presence, posture and intention to enable next-gen HMI and safety features  
  • All solutions must be integration-ready, stable, and compatible with automotive standards 

Our expertise

FOGALE Sensors brings a unique combination of cryogenic monitoring, precise distance and speed monitoring, advanced in-cabin sensing for the automotive industry:

  • Capacitive probes for LH₂ tanks with < ±0.5% full-range accuracy, resistant to vibration and pressure    
  • High sampling frequency acquisition for very high speed rotating applications
  • Ability to accurately measure deformations near high-temperature automotive parts (brake calipers, brake discs, ...)
  • Capacitive HMI & interior sensors seamlessly integrate into dashboards, seats, steering wheels or side panels  to:
    • Detect presence, hand position, or body movement to enable gesture-based control, driver monitoring, and passenger-aware automation

Proven applications

  • Monitor LH₂ level and mass in real-time, even in compact or mobile systems  
  • Improve safety with level detection and robust ATEX-compliant components
  • Secure speed measurement control in turbocharger environments
  • Collect essential data from automotive key components to improve safety and efficiency
  • Enhance vehicle autonomy with smart cabin sensing: hand, presence, gesture, or seat occupancy
