Performance Chronicle #29: Flex-Sense OR Off-Road Sensors
Set on its rock, the Little Mermaid of the port of Copenhagen has her eyes fixed on the sea. Is she looking for her prince charming or is she observing the movements of her seafarers? Today in danger, the precious shells can be monitored not as in a children’s tale but by Flex-Sense technology.
In a nutshell. The Oyster From the Beginning.
Flex-Sense for flexibility and sensors, a name that perfectly reflects the activity of the young start-up company that offers remote telemetry for extreme environments.
