From May 6 to 8, 2025, SENSOR+TEST returned to the Nuremberg Exhibition Center in Germany, reaffirming its position as one of the world’s premier trade fairs for sensor, measurement, and testing technologies. Over 400 exhibitors from around the world gathered to present cutting-edge innovations, with applications spanning automotive, industrial automation, medical technology, aerospace, agriculture, and more.
A Focused Platform for Sensor and Measurement Innovation
Unlike broad industry trade fairs, SENSOR+TEST stands out with its sharp focus and professional segmentation. It provides an efficient and targeted networking platform where attendees can easily access the exact fields and technologies they seek.
Fraunhofer IIS drew attention with the unveiling of several key innovations, including its HallinMotion® multidimensional position sensing algorithm, HallinPower® current sensors for non-magnetic environments, and the nanoSPECTRAL platform for high-resolution optical sensing—positioning itself at the forefront of industrial and medical applications.
Product Highlights and Emerging Trends
Many leading companies took this opportunity to debut new products:
● Vaisala launched the latest Indigo series with interchangeable probes, smart transmitters, and its new Insight PC software, aiming to enhance efficiency and data integration in industrial environments.
● Heimann Sensor introduced its HTPA160x120d infrared array sensors, designed for precision thermal imaging and temperature measurement applications.
● Micro Sensor showcased a wide range of pressure, level, temperature, and flow sensors, emphasizing their scalability for smart manufacturing and smart city applications.
Key Topics: Calibration and Condition Monitoring
Two dedicated zones—"Innovative Calibration" and "Condition Monitoring"—captured strong interest. The calibration area spotlighted advanced methods aligned with the evolving SI unit system, while the condition monitoring section presented predictive maintenance solutions essential to Industry 4.0.
Technical forums and demonstrations deepened attendees' understanding of how these capabilities can improve system reliability, reduce downtime, and enable digital twin implementations in various sectors.
Global Participation and Knowledge Exchange
SENSOR+TEST 2025 welcomed exhibitors from 29 countries, highlighting its international appeal. Several companies from mainland China—including Hanwei Technology and Jiangsu Duowei Technology—demonstrated the strength of Asia’s sensor R&D and manufacturing capabilities.
Running alongside the exhibition, SMSI 2025 (Sensor and Measurement Science International Conference) brought together academic researchers and industry professionals, promoting deep integration between science and practical innovation.
