About SENSYS
SENSYS Sensorik & Systemtechnologie GmbH was founded in 1990 by Dr.-Ing. Andreas Fischer and develops and manufactures magnetometers and electromagnetic measuring systems for non-destructive area investigation. The portfolio comprises fluxgate sensors (FGM1D, FGM3D, FGM3D UW), Z-gradiometers (FGM400, FGM650), TDEM sensor and digitizer systems as well as complete measuring systems for drones, borehole, land and marine/ROV use. Production takes place in an in-house manufacturing line; each sensor is calibrated and tested in the company's own test laboratory to an accuracy of 1 pT. In addition, the company offers software for data recording and evaluation, training, support, data analysis as well as maintenance and repair – also for third-party products. The systems are used, among other things, in UXO clearance, archaeology, geophysics, offshore surveying and for custom applications, and are delivered worldwide. The company headquarters is the former Neu Golm earth station (Intersputnik) in Bad Saarow, Brandenburg, about 50 km southeast of Berlin.

Sensors & Systems
Fluxgate magnetometer, 3-axis
Passive sensor for precision measurement of the Earth's magnetic field and local anomalies, e.g. for UXO detection.
Fluxgate magnetometer, 1-axis
Single-axis fluxgate sensor for flexible integration into own measuring systems.
3-axis fluxgate
Three-axis sensor with improved orthogonality of the sensor axes and low-noise options.
Underwater fluxgate magnetometer
Suitable for underwater use in offshore and marine survey systems.
TDEM sensor and digitizer systems
Active electromagnetic pulse systems for detecting conductive objects in the subsurface.
Z-gradiometer
Gradiometer sensors for measuring local field gradients, among other things for borehole and land measuring systems.
Airborne drone magnetometer system
Magnetometer systems for integration into UAVs for area-wide aerial surveys.
