COVID-19 – HEIMANN Sensor’s essential role in fighting the pandemic
COVID-19 – HEIMANN Sensor’s essential role in fighting the pandemic
In the current worldwide COVID-19 crisis, HEIMANN Sensor has become one of the key players in fighting the spread of the quickly developing pandemic by manufacturing sensors and sensor modules that are used in fever thermometers or temperature screening systems. Not only hospitals, medical practices and pharmacies increasingly use non-contact, infrared thermometers for indicating potential Corona patients. Even in more and more companies and public areas around the world, handheld portable thermometers become the tool of choice for detecting elevated body temperature.
Temperature screening systems, which are permanently installed at entrances of airports, companies, public buildings, schools or other institutions, can automatically detect elevated body temperatures from greater distances. In all these tools, HEIMANN Sensor products like the HMS M21 for contactless thermometers or HTPA32x32 and HTPA 80x64 for elevated body temperature screening systems provide the centerpiece.
On top, HEIMANN Sensor is one of the very few producers of special, fast reacting CO2 gas sensors, which are installed in capnography devices, incubators and respiratory equipment. As a small percentage of coronavirus patients develop severe health issues including acute respiratory illnesses, their survival depends on the continuous monitoring of their lung function in intensive care stations. Hence, HEIMANN’s production of gas sensors has become crucial in the worldwide health care.
Consequently, the demand for HEIMANN Sensor products has increased exponentially during the past few weeks. While it was already challenging to meet the growing demand in the beginning of 2020, the near shut-down of the economy in Malaysia mid-March, where two of the main assembly lines of HEIMANN Sensor are located, were dramatic. After proofing systemic importance to the Malaysian government, HEIMANN Sensor was granted special permission for reopening part of the assembly line. Still, HEIMANN Sensor keeps fighting for the complete reutilisation and expansion of its capacities in its main assembly lines.
HEIMANN Sensor and its employees have long ago recognized that their input and supply of sensor and sensor modules in the current worldwide Corona crisis has outreached economic benefits, but play a significant role in the global containment of COVID-19 and the lifesaving of patients.

We are pleased to introduce already two other HowTo videos. These step-by-step clips regarding our USB Application Set and the WiFi Application Shield help our customers to easily get started. Have a look at the videos below.
Our Heimann Sensor team is pleased to share a great success story: One of our innovative sensors has been included into a new thermal imaging camera that is now available at LIDL throughout Germany and internationally. In this way, this kind of product has become affordable to the masses. After a couple days, the cameras were already sold out in the supermarkets. Nevertheless, the camera is still available on the LIDL online shop at https://www.lidl.de/p/parkside-4-v-waermebildkamera-pwbka-4-a1-1024-messpunkte/p100377390 . The heart of this camera is the Heimann Sensor HTPA32x32d array sensor, which enables spatially resolved temperature measurements for professional use as well as everyday use. For example, it is possible to detect heat loss in buildings or to analyze electrical systems. This success is a further proof of the high quality and competitiveness of Heimann Sensor products.
We are pleased to introduce our new webinar series. Starting with a step-by-step guide of our UDP (Ethernet) application set, you will learn how easy it is to get a thermal video recording with our HTPA arrays. Watch out for future webinar clips!
Heimann Sensor is looking forward to participating in the 25th China International Optoelectronic Exhibition, which takes place 11-13 September 2024 in Shenzhen Bao'an International and Exhibition Center. Meet us at booth no. 8E06 - in cooperation with our sales partner Shenzhen Longxiang Technology Co, Ltd.
The modern world is full of sensors used in a wide range of application: from industrial automation to medical technology. With an impressive history and a focus on innovation, Heimann Sensor has become a trustworthy partner for companies and research institutions worldwide. Founded 22 years ago, with the first employees already having many years of experience in infrared sensor technology, a basis was established that served to continually develop new products and set technological world records in the years to follow. Thus, Heimann Sensor is a pioneer in sensor technology in accordance to its motto “We love INfraNOVATIONS”.
Like the year before, again this year some of our colleagues and even their offspring attended the 5km run in Dresden in June. Some came as fans and the eight you can see on the picture crossed the finish line together. Congratulations! It's a wonderful team event and we're already looking forward to next year's repetition.
The Sensor+Test 2024 fair was once again a meeting place for the European sensor community. We had many interesting discussions with suppliers and old and potentially new customers, particpated in a lot of meetings - all in a short time and in one place. Thanks to a wonderful team from Heimann Sensor (from left to right: Dr. Wilhelm Leneke, Mischa Schulze, Dr. Jörg Schieferdecker, Dr. Victor Bechthold, Dr. Marion Simon, Michael Schnorr, Christoph Kohlmann, Alexander Rehmer, guest) our participation at the Sensor+Test 2024 was a success.
Meet us in Hall 1 Booth 436
Visit us at the Boston Electronics Booth 612 from 21 April– 25 April 2024
Heimann Sensor's non-contact sensors for remote temperature measurements are used for the monitoring of tires of racing motorcycles and racing cars. We thank our customer and partner Nigtecnologias, located in Argentina, for this great cooperation. ( https://www.instagram.com/nigtecnologiasoficial/ ) The information about the actual temperature is important to control grip and degradation of the race tires. Our integrated sensor features a fast response with high accuracy. If you are interested in further information, have a look at our Thermopile Modules (HIM Series) .
