digid Nanoscale Temperature and Force Sensors

digid GmbH is a nanoscale sensing company based in Mainz, Germany. It makes ultra-miniaturized, low-cost sensors that measure temperature or force and can be embedded in very small spaces, serving industries such as automotive, aerospace, logistics, food safety, and health and fitness.

The sensors are produced with a patented printed electronics process, which the company announced as fully qualified for volume production in January 2026. Current sensors are as small as 1 micrometer long, with a roadmap to 10 nanometers. They output voltage or resistance, use an I2C interface, and can be arrayed up to 16 x 16. Each design project receives a custom sensor and assembly with hardware and software integration support.

• Temperature sensors: printed sensors for invisible glass sensing, temperature profiles, foils and thermal interface materials.
• Force sensors: strain gauges, tactile bionic skin, ultra-small pressure sensors and tactile end effectors.
• Printed electronics process: a patented fabrication technology qualified for volume production.
• Array formats: up to 16 x 16 sensors on a surface such as a robot shell.
• Standard interface: sensor output as voltage or resistance, with I2C integration.
• Engineering support: simulation, sensor deposition and signal routing for customer parts.

Battery pack makers in Vietnam can evaluate embedded temperature sensing inside cells for safety monitoring. Robotics integrators can use array force sensors on gripper or robot-skin surfaces, and medical device makers can assess probe-tip sensing.

Sensors as small as 1 micrometer can be embedded inside batteries, tools and structures where conventional sensors do not fit. The company states negligible self-heating and linear, accurate output without drift or non-linearity compensation. Per-project custom assemblies come with hardware and software integration support. The process is qualified for volume production.

Battery makers, robotics and medical device firms need smaller embedded sensors to monitor temperature and force inside cells and tools. Vietnam's growing EV battery and electronics assembly base creates demand for embedded thermal sensing for safety monitoring.
