Frontier · Sensing & Calibration

Sensors that stay accurate after the first week.

Instrumentation that has to be trusted — force, pressure, tactile, motion — designed, calibrated and characterised, with drift correction and a calibration pipeline that survives a re-flash.

Sensing & Calibration

Typical length
4–8 weeks
What you get
6 written deliverables, listed below
What decides the number
Number of channels, required accuracy, and whether the sensor exists or has to be designed and fabricated.
Scoping
One call, then a written scope. We say no when it is not ours.

01 The terms

Quoted per project, after a call. We do not publish a band for this, because a number without a scope is a guess and you would have to unpick it later anyway.

Tell us what the work has to do and when it has to be done, and you get the scope and the number in writing — or a straight answer that this is not ours.

03 The problem

A sensor is accurate the day it is calibrated. After that it drifts with temperature, age and handling, and most products have no way to notice — so the numbers look fine long after they stopped being true.

Calibration done once, by hand, on one unit, does not scale to a hundred.

04 What you get

  • Sensor selection or custom sensing hardware
  • Characterisation across temperature and load
  • Automated calibration fitting, per unit
  • Drift detection and correction in firmware
  • Versioned calibration profiles that survive a re-flash
  • Test tooling so production calibration does not need an engineer

05 How it runs

Weeks 1–2
Accuracy target, sensor choice, characterisation plan.
Weeks 3–6
Hardware, firmware and the calibration pipeline.
Weeks 7–8
Production test tooling and handover.

06 Whether this is for you

This is for you if

  • Tactile and force sensing, load cells, pressure, IMUs and motion
  • Products where a wrong reading costs money or safety
  • Teams calibrating units by hand and losing a day per batch

This is not for you if

  • Certified metrology or legal-for-trade calibration
  • Medical diagnostic devices
  • Sensors you cannot physically access or test

07 Proof

eFuelPro calibrates itself: it samples an idle baseline, scores every candidate field mapping against measured price-per-unit within 1% tolerance, and persists versioned calibration profiles as JSON so a device can be re-flashed and restored. A 1,500-line Python toolchain drives the fitting.

08 Questions

Can you work with our existing sensors?

Yes — most of the value is usually in characterisation and calibration, not in replacing the sensor.
