Research and Development

The basis for innovation

The innovative technologies we employ for your benefit are based on our extensive R&D activities: 8% of the >4000 KROHNE employees work in research and development. This high proportion reflects our orientation towards innovation, and is enabled by our structure as a family business.

Next to sensor physics, the focus is on device communication and enabling technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) in process industry, e.g. ethernet communication to transmit process and device diagnostic data for evaluation and process optimisation.

In addition, KROHNE conducts basic research in various areas of physics, and we maintain numerous partnerships with universities worldwide.
