Celebrating SensoPart's 30th Anniversary

Dr. Wanner’s forward-thinking vision, centered on both present advancements aa well as future possibilities, continues to drive SensoPart’s success. He recognizes the increasing importance of AI and chip technology as critical drivers of smarter sensor solutions. SensoPart is dedicated to staying at the forefront of this technological evolution.

The founder and CEO reflects back on key milestones, from breaking ground at the Gottenheim site in 2001 to launching groundbreaking innovations like the BlueLight optical sensor family   and the 2D VISOR® Robotic camera —advancements which led to the need for a new production hall.

SensoPart has positioned itself as a market leader in vision sensors, which play a crucial role in production and factory automation. Its customer base spans industries from automotive and mechanical engineering to electronics and solar, as well as food, pharmaceuticals, intralogistics, and plastics.
