Heimann Sensor at CIOE 2026 in Shenzen with our CEO Mischa Schulze

The title of Frank Hermann's presentation and panel discussion was "How MEMS innovations scale non-contact thermography”. As a global pioneer and market leader in infrared thermopile arrays, Frank enjoyed presenting Heimann Sensor's latest technological milestones. It was a great opportunity to showcase how the long-term strategic partnership and joint MEMS development with the Fraunhofer IPMS are pushing the boundaries of non-contact temperature measurement. The energy and good discussions throughout the day once again highlighted the strength of Dresden’s semiconductor, sensor, and photonics ecosystem. Bringing together leading innovators from both industry and cutting-edge research is what makes this event so impactful. By combining our advanced sensor designs with the institute's cutting-edge 200 mm CMOS-compatible pilot production line, we are successfully scaling high-volume manufacturing. Our current joint innovations focus on integrating novel thermoelectric materials to achieve unprecedented thermal resolutions below 20 millikelvin - opening up massive opportunities for next-generation industrial imaging, smart automation, medical diagnostics, robotics and autonomous mobility. Beyond the presentation, the event provided an excellent stage for deep-dive networking. Many thanks to the entire Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS team for the ongoing cooperation, the invitation, and for bringing together such an inspiring community of innovators.

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden and unexpected passing of Dr. Joerg Schieferdecker, our Managing Director and Principal Founder. His passing is an immeasurable loss for everyone at Heimann Sensor GmbH. As the principal founder and the driving force behind our company, he transformed a shared vision into a globally respected technology company. Through his exceptional technical expertise, entrepreneurial spirit, determination, and tireless commitment, he shaped the identity, culture and success of Heimann Sensor from its very beginning. Many of you had the privilege of working with him and experienced firsthand his openness, fairness, and genuine interest in building long-lasting partnerships. He firmly believed that enduring business relationships are founded on trust, mutual respect, and shared success - principles that will continue to guide our company. In this difficult time, our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

In perfect weather, the REWE Team Challenge took place in Dresden on June 18, 2026. Heimann Sensor once again took part in this great team event. In the picture below, you can see our team “Pixel-linos” after crossing the finish line. Even Heimann Sensor CEO Dr. Jörg Schieferdecker at age 70 had made the special trip to support the team. Congratulations to our athletes!

Our Marketing and Sales Team are in the final stages of preparation for the for this year's Sensor+Test exhibtion in June in Nürnberg. You will find our Heimann Sensor booth easier this year; it is close to the main entrance: Hall 1, Booth 1-506. If you do not have an entrance ticket yet, receive a free online ticket via this link: https://www.sensor-test.de/service/ticket/?50142 We also have some news to share: We will present our new mini HTPA80x60d with the highest resolution compared to its tiny housing. . We will be happy to see you at our booth and show you our new sensor products and explain you the wide range of application scenarios.
