Collaboration between startups and medium-sized companies offers great potential. Short development cycles, high innovation potential and dynamic teams bring a breath of fresh air to medium-sized companies. Nevertheless, collaboration rarely comes about.

The event "Mittelstand meets Startup" at HubWerk01 – Digital Hub Region Bruchsal e. V. was about exactly this topic. Together with the company Peter Gross Bau war SenseING zu Gast und stellte die Zusammenarbeit sowie das daraus entstandene Sensor-System “träck“, welches zukünftig in der Baubranche eingesetzt werden soll.

With their guest contribution, Peter Gross and SenseING provided an ideal example of the previous presentation by innoWerft Technologie- und Gründerzentrum Walldorf Stiftung GmbH. They explained why it can be worthwhile to realize development projects with a startup. Afterwards, all startups were given the opportunity to introduce themselves in a 30-second pitch. Anyone who had questions could then visit the startup at the information booths.

SenseING bringt CO2-Ampel zur Überwachung von Innenräumen auf den Markt

The SenseKit.indoor developed by SenseING is a CO2 traffic light for monitoring indoor environmental conditions. Via a visual signal, the unit indicates, for example, when it is time to ventilate the premises.

More topical than ever is just how high the CO₂concentration is indoors.Because regular ventilation in the rooms can significantly reduce the risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2. This is described in a recent statement by the Commission on Indoor Air Hygiene (IRK) at the Federal Environment Agency. CO2 traffic lights can serve as a guide to good or poor ventilation, according to the IRK. Even the use of mobile air purifiers is no substitute for adequate ventilation in schools. A healthy indoor climate in schools also creates an improvement in learning ability of up to 15 % (source: umweltbundesamt.de).

Even before the pandemic, the indoor climate was very important. The ability of pupils, students, employees and colleagues to learn and concentrate depends very much on the ambient conditions. The health department has already defined limit values for this, including sound pressure levels and brightness, for example.

The SenseKit.indoor can also monitor these parameters.
