The company’s Flex sensor takes advantage of much longer battery life and electronics with greatly reduced power requirements to transform what had been a road sensor with a one-year life to one that will last for up to a decade.
This has transformed the product and marketplace, said CEO Fredrik Zettergren. Traditionally, customers wanted permanent measurement stations, but costs meant that they could usually afford only a small number of these, together with larger numbers of temporary measuring stations.
Now, instead of paying €15,000 for a permanent station, they can pay roughly one-tenth of that for a product whose lifespan makes it effectively a permanent installation. Flex measures factors such as vehicle speed and type of vehicle, time-stamping them. Sensebit has now sold Flex to 13 countries.
