About

Sensorfact is a technology company dedicated to enhancing resource efficiency for industrial small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, the company has established itself as a significant player in the climate tech and Internet of Things (IoT) sectors. Sensorfact's core mission is to eliminate industrial waste by providing an accessible and user-friendly platform for monitoring and managing resource consumption. The company's innovative solution revolves around a hardware-enabled Software as a Service (SaaS) model. This includes easy-to-install, non-invasive wireless sensors that measure real-time data on electricity, gas, water, and compressed air usage at the machine level. This granular data is then transmitted to a sophisticated software platform where smart algorithms analyze it to identify inefficiencies, anomalies, and opportunities for savings. The insights are then translated into actionable advice, empowering manufacturers to reduce their operational costs and environmental footprint. Initially focused on energy management, Sensorfact has expanded its product suite to include predictive maintenance and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) monitoring. The predictive maintenance solution uses vibration analysis to monitor machine health, enabling businesses to anticipate and prevent breakdowns, thereby minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. The OEE monitoring helps optimize manufacturing processes by providing clear insights into the primary causes of downtime. This holistic approach allows clients to not only save on utilities but also to improve their overall production efficiency. Sensorfact serves over 1,900 customers across more than 50 countries, operating from offices in the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. In early 2025, Sensorfact was acquired by ABB, a global technology leader in electrification and automation. This acquisition is set to accelerate Sensorfact's global expansion and further integrate its innovative solutions into ABB's digital energy management portfolio, reinforcing their shared mission to help industries become leaner, cleaner, and more sustainable.
