After integrating a humidity and temperature sensor within a smartphone, Sensirion claims to have become the first company in the world to integrate IoT technology and implementation within a single source. The company's primary focus was not only on the development and production of the humidity and temperature sensor, but also on the implementation and integration of the sensor.

To enable the integration of its sensor technology, Sensirion worked with Google to enhance the Android API with an interface for temperature and humidity measurement, and made it available as an open source solution. 

To meet the increasing requirements of the software sector, Sensirion acquired Koubachi and has gone from a pure hardware manufacturer to a complex software provider.

“In addition to sensor production, we also see ourselves as a major player in the Internet of Things. Sensors, together with the ever growing bandwidth and processing power of the devices and the ongoing progression to the cloud, will have a huge impact on every aspect of our lives. We want to be at the forefront of this transformation. At present, we are working on sensor solutions directly connected to the cloud and building on the technology from Koubachi,” says Dr. Moritz Köhler, Head of Software Development, Sensirion.
