Since 2014, we have proven our technical competence as a team in several fields of technology, such as professional live sports entertainment (Parallel Ads) and cutting-edge LED studio solutions (GhostFrame).
Based on this background, the main principles of CurrentSense™ were defined by issues we faced at several LED-based projects involving complex and larger-scale electrical installations.
Being disappointed by expensive but almost useless existing products in the market space to handle current measures, we took a brand-new approach to solve Maxwell's equation. Being a side-project for multiple years, we had a first version working back in 2021, which was tested internally in numerous of our LED sites to prove the concept was viable.
It took us two more years to further precision our approach, which was finally put into a patent application. Once we received positive results from the freedom-to-operate research, Max von Braun founded the company Current Clamp in early 2023.
With an extensive group effort, the first demonstrator was put into an initial proof-of-concept (PoC) handheld device, which was publicly presented to the world at the Smart Production Solutions (SPS) show floor in late 2023.
The overwhelming feedback received by certain industry leaders resulted in additional features requests to take our solution up a few gears. Within less than twelve months, continuous measuring was implemented, as well as RMS and, most importantly, the capability to measure high-power three-phase power cables. Again, SPS in Nuremberg hosted Current Clamp as an exhibitor in November 2024 to present a fully working handheld PoC.
