Frauscher Sensor Technology

Our Journey to Success

About Frauscher

Frauscher was founded in 1987 as „Frauscher Sensortechnik GmbH“ (German for: “Frauscher Sensor Technology”), and from the start we have made innovation, progress and continuous development a part of our DNA and corporate strategy. As a global technology and market leader, we consistently set new benchmarks and standards with our products and solutions. These include, for example, the Frauscher rail claw or our wheel sensors with an arrangement of sensor systems along the rail. We have also taken on a pioneering role in the industry by implementing the first software interfaces into our products - a position that we are constantly expanding and improving. Almost 40 years later we are still pioneers in solutions for wheel detection and axle counting, but our capabilities now extend well beyond. Our portfolio has grown, our offering has changed, and our positioning has evolved significantly.

How we started

We started solely as a component supplier, offering wheel sensors and axle counters.

How we developed

Within ten years we transformed into a solution provider, setting benchmarks by implementing software interfaces and digital tools.
