The right sensor for your needs
minion can be configured so that it is equipped with the right sensor technology for your specific application. Three integrated sensor variants are currently available, precisely tailored to typical measurement tasks in industry, infrastructure and mobility, as well as an analogue adapter input that lets you use standard industrial sensors with a 4–20 mA output. And that’s just the beginning: the sensor system is being continuously developed further. Here is an overview.
Vibration & temperature
Detects e.g. imbalance, misalignment, impacts, changes of position, and more.

Measure temperature and humidity
Measures: temperature and relative humidity
Typical applications:
- Monitoring ambient conditions in technical rooms and distribution cabinets
- Use at outdoor sites and shafts, e.g. greenhouses or livestock sheds
- Climate control for semi‑stationary units with changing locations
Key features:
- Temperature measuring range from −20 to +80 °C with an accuracy of ±0.2 °C
- IP65/IP67 protection for demanding industrial environments
- Low drift for stable, accurate data acquisition over long periods
Radar sensor
Measures: temperature, humidity, dew point
Typical applications:
- Level measurement in tanks and containers
- Distance measurement in industrial applications
- Monitoring of liquid and solid levels
Key features:
- Measurement range from 200 to 2,000 mm with high accuracy
- Robust housing with IP65/IP67 protection
- Suitable for use in harsh industrial environments
Adapter for external analogue sensors
Not every measurement task can be solved with an integrated sensor. That’s why minion is also available with an adapter input for analogue sensors (4–20 mA), such as pressure sensors or special transducers.
Typical applications:
- Retrofitting existing equipment
- Combination of internal and external sensors (e.g. switching pressure + climate sensors)
Key features:
- Three precise analogue inputs for 4–20 mA signals
- Self‑sufficient monitoring via direct cloud connection and battery operation
- IP65/IP67 protection for use in demanding industrial environments
