Innoseis Sensor Technologies traces its origins to gravitational-wave research conducted by Dr. Mark Beker and Prof. Dr. Jo van den Brand at Nikhef, the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics. Their work required detecting vibrations so extraordinarily small that they fall far below the thresholds of conventional engineering. Reaching this level of measurement accuracy was a scientific milestone, but utilising its value outside the controlled environment of the laboratory posed an even greater challenge.
That challenge became an opportunity, and ultimately, the foundation of Innoseis.
As the world grew more dependent on precise, real-time understanding of motion, the need for reliable and scalable sensing became increasingly clear. From infrastructure and industry to advanced technologies, translating movement into meaningful data was no longer a niche requirement but a universal one.
Guided by this insight, the founders set an ambition to take scientific-grade precision out of the laboratory and make it accessible, scalable, and ready for real-world impact.
Our commercial journey began with a seismic node, one of the first truly cable-free seismic sensors to reach the market. Compact, durable, and exceptionally energy-efficient, Quantum was engineered to operate for weeks in the demanding and often harsh environments of large-scale seismic surveys.
Its impact was immediate. Within three years, Quantum captured 35% of the global seismic node market, demonstrating not only the strength of its design but also our ability to transform advanced scientific principles into highly competitive, field-ready products.
Our earlier seismic sensor, was built on conventional geophone technology. Building on its success, we have now miniaturised that architecture into a MEMS-based chip.
This fingertip sized sensor improves the scientific accuracy of our original system while also reducing size, weight, and power consumption by an order of magnitude. To enable true integration at scale, we pair the MEMS device with a custom ASIC, which simplifies the electronics and delivers a compact, efficient, and highly manufacturable solution.
This level of miniaturisation opens the door to a far broader range of applications. Our technology is no longer limited to specialised environments, it now meets the performance, cost, and volume requirements of larger industrial, infrastructure, and advanced technology markets.
