Sensor Detection works as an extension of your engineering team — one partner that designs the sensor, electronics and firmware. Every product is built to the requirements of your application, backed by more than 100 combined years of sensor engineering.
Compliance by design
Compliant parts chosen at the design stage
Every part on a bill of materials is selected by our own engineers and bought through franchised or manufacturer-approved channels, so its compliance record exists before the product or parts are built.
- Supplier RoHS, REACH and CMRT declarations collected per part and held against the bill of materials
- Sourced exclusively through franchised distribution or manufacturer-approved suppliers
- Declarations of Conformity issued per product on request
- Compliance data held in our own ERP, tied to live manufacturing records
Manufacturing quality - independently certified
Zero-defect manufacturing philosophy
Defects are designed out rather than caught at the end — and every product is still 100% tested before it ships, with stock and sub-assembly managed to the same standard throughout.
- Full product data pack change control
- Stock management in our own ERP — built for our requirements
- Long-standing supplier partnerships with component traceability
- Automated test at board and sub-assembly level, all in the UK
- Production staff trained and measured to the same standard
