Tronics, a designer and manufacturer of nano and microsystems, has signed an industrialization contract with a leading supplier of gas sensors for industrial applications. This partnership amounts to approximately $750,000 and will lead in 2017 to pilot production of MEMS based optical gas detectors, with potential manufacturing revenue between $550,000 and $1.1 million per year. Interest in gas sensors for industrial applications is growing, mainly driven by more stringent safety requirements. This momentum paves the way for new opportunities in the field of optical MEMS, which enable further miniaturization and cost reduction compared to existing technologies.
