Our customers say…

“For us steute is a reliable partner providing sophisticated wireless sensor solutions we will always be happy to recommend. The sWave.NET® system is convincing through and through. It is an encapsulated system with simple connections providing all functions with no need for an external server.”

Ulrich Steimann

IT Project Manager

Siemens AG

Erlangen (Germany)

“Using the sWave.NET® system solution we have been able to integrate a digital transport control system successfully in our production. The implementation and installation processes were very simple, and we were able to exploit our potential for improvement without delay. The sWave.NET® sensors and their versatility have completely won us over.”

Chethan Ganapathi Mysore

Impuls Küchen GmbH

Brilon (Germany)

“The wireless-based sensor technology from steute has enabled us to transfer our material pull to a software environment and thus reduce unnecessary intralogistics steps. The sWave.NET® system features good usability and simple scalability.”

Sebastian Seeberger

Business Project Manager

Siemens AG

Erlangen (Germany)

“When we started to analyse the market for our ‘Sensor-based material requirement notifications (eKanban)’ project, it was important for us to have a flexible system. In sWave.NET® we have found just the flexible and also wireless, battery-operated system we were looking for. Over the entire course of the project, steute was by our side with constructive suggestions, and even when we changed our requirements was always focused on finding a good solution together.”
