Sensors and measurement technology – key technologies for innovation and competitiveness
Sensors and measurement technology are indispensable foundations for almost all future technologies. They form the interface between the real and digital worlds, precisely measuring physical variables and converting them into digital information. Whether Industry 4.0, autonomous driving, smart cities, or medical technology – without sensors and measurement systems, these developments would be inconceivable.
Sensors provide the crucial raw data for digital processes, automation, and intelligent systems. This makes them not only technological enablers, but also drivers of new business models and economic growth.
Germany is one of the world's leading locations for sensor and measurement technology. The industry is broadly based, comprises numerous companies, research institutes, and service providers, and employs highly qualified specialists. It is a significant driver of innovation for many branches of industry and contributes significantly to the country's technological competitiveness. Even in economically challenging times, the sector remains robust, forward-looking, and investment-driven.
The members of the AMA Association for Sensor and Measurement Technology represent the entire value chain – from components to system solutions, from research institutions to specialized service providers. The association offers them a strong platform for exchange, cooperation, and representation of interests at the national and international level.
With their innovative strength, economic importance, and technological relevance, sensor and measurement technology make a decisive contribution to the future viability of Germany as an industrial location. The AMA Association is a network and center of excellence for these key technologies.
