Product Line
Custom Solutions
SMD Sensors can engineer custom solutions for nearly any sensing application. Our engineering team has expertise in many sensing technologies across all our product lines, allowing us to assist you in choosing the best technology for your project. Our broad portfolio of core competencies allows us to design unique sensors and sensor assemblies to measure physical properties including force, pressure, liquid level, flow rate, temperature, presence of air bubbles, density, occlusions (blockages), and signal conditioning.

Sensor Design & Integration
Customizing can also be the integration of multiple sensors into one small package, helping to reduce costs and miniaturize assemblies where space is limited. Our design team will work with you from conceptualization through prototype through production and post-production support. In many cases we can act as an extension of our customer's engineering teams, bringing decades of experience to help meet tight engineering specifications and aggressive price targets.
