About

Transense develops and supplies innovative sensor technology and measurement solutions to world leading companies.

History

Founded in 1991 and listed on the AIM Market (UK AIM:TRT), we are a leader in the development and supply of specialised sensor technology and measurement solutions for use in a demanding, high growth markets.

Transense Surface Acoustic Wave or SAW sensor technology is proven to deliver accurate, real-time measurement of torque, temperature, force and pressure to improve performance, efficiency and safety. This patent-protected technology offers significant advantages over conventional sensors including improved accuracy, more compact packaging and the ability to maintain the mechanical integrity of the system being measured and is particularly targeted towards world leading Aerospace, Electric Motor and Drive, Industrial Machinery and Motorsport applications. Where it is used to improve control, performance and efficiency.

Translogik tyre inspection tools are used by the worlds leading tyre suppliers, fleet operators and service centres to measure and digitally capture tyre tread depth, pressure and RFID using a robust hand held tool that connects to fleet management software systems by a wireless bluetooth connection. The Translogik tools enable fleet operators to greatly improve data collection, which is then used to reduce costs and provides best-practise traceability of safety critical tyre inspections.

iTrack technology, used for monitoring the tyre and vehicle performance of heavy-duty off-road vehicles, was developed by Transense, but the business and technology was transferred to Bridgestone Corporation by an exclusive licensing deal for a ten-year term commencing in June 2020.

The Transense team are world leading sensor and measurement system experts, working closely with our customers to implement SAW sensing technology in a wide variety of applications and ensure the Translogik range of products remains ahead of the competition. Delivering great results due to the quality of our team and in-depth knowledge and expertise.

Our mission

Our mission is to commercialise world leading sensor technology and measurement systems based on Transense’s core competencies and patented wireless technology, maximising the revenue from our two divisions; SAWsense and Translogik, to deliver value for all our stakeholders.

Some of the best known, global companies rely on Transense technology for their demanding mission critical applications and we are continuously developing new applications with these leading businesses as well as new customers.
