By etching microscopic patterns into fibre-optic cables, Kista-based Proximion can offer its customers both faster data transmission and extraordinarily precise measurement – in environments where every other technology gives up. And new markets are opening up all the time.
"Industry 4.0 and the rise of AI-driven systems will demand more sensors capable of capturing data at the highest possible level of detail," says CEO Johan Pejnefors.
