Design Patterning From concept to production When standard sensors aren't enough, we co-create the solution. iST works closely with customers to develop application-specific sensors, embedding deep component-level expertise directly into your development process. Collaboration from day one Co creation starts in the concept phase, with support in design, material selection, geometry, layout, and process technology. Early technical input helps define robust sensor designs and reduces costly late stage iterations. Engineering services from concept to production Backed by deep know-how in materials...

Customer requirements Design prototype The customer wants to have a temperature measurement device that monitors the coil temperature of the stator in an electric motor. The anticipated large volumes require an automated mounting method. The sensor should be designed for automated installation. Usually in personal meetings attended by our customers, our consultants and R&D specialists use several creative methods, e.g. morphologic box, design thinking and many more. The output of this phase is typically a sketch of two to three prototypes. After the design is defined and approved by the customer,...

iST technologies combine thin-film, thick-film, silicon, and electrochemical expertise, enabling highly reliable, application-specific sensing solutions across industries.

Thin-film RTDs are the smart choice for high-volume applications, combining cost-efficient manufacturing with outstanding performance. Compared to wire-wound RTDs, they are more compact, mechanically robust, and deliver faster response times - making them ideal for demanding industrial environments. As the leading metal-based RTD technology in today's market, platinum thin-film RTDs stand out with a powerful combination of precision, durability, and versatility. ■ Wide operating range (from -258 °C to +1000 °C) ■ Suitable for precision applications iST's thick-film technology provides customers...
