First Sensor Obtains IATF 16949 Certificate for the Automotive Industry
Sensor specialist lays foundation for further growth in Mobility target
market
First Sensor AG, a developer and manufacturer of standard products and
customer-specific sensor solutions in the growth market for sensor
technology, has obtained IATF 16949 certificates for its two subsidiaries in
Dresden and its Berlin-Oberschöneweide location, laying the foundation for
further growth in the Mobility target market. This certification proves that
the sensor specialist meets the high quality standards of the automotive
industry when it comes to turning visions of autonomous driving and green
mobility into reality.
"With our APDs for the LIDAR technology, our cameras for driver assistance
systems and our pressure sensors for energy-saving vehicles, we have a
highly attractive range of products for the automotive industry. With the
IATF 16949 certification, we have now laid the foundation for growth with
current and new customers through these products and solutions," says Dr.
Dirk Rothweiler, CEO of First Sensor AG.
The IATF certificate, which is valid for three years, is used across the
entire automotive industry supply chain. The goal of the IATF standard is to
constantly improve quality in the management system and achieve stable and
efficient quality in processes in order to increase customer satisfaction in
the automotive industry. Errors and risks in the production process and
supply chain should be avoided or recognized at an early stage, their causes
remedied, and effective corrective and improvement measures initiated.
In 2017, First Sensor generated EUR44.5 million in the Mobility target
market. This corresponds to 30 percent of the company's total sales. With
the start of series production of the "Blue Next" camera range at the
beginning of this year, First Sensor Mobility GmbH secured a supply
agreement for an international tier-1 supplier of driver assistance systems
until 2022. In the LIDAR sector, First Sensor is currently providing various
companies with samples of a new generation of APDs. The LIDAR technology is
a crucial element in autonomous driving. In addition, First Sensor concluded
a follow-up supply agreement last year for high-pressure sensors for
electro-hydraulic steering systems with a US tier-1 supplier from 2019 to
2024. The steering systems, which boast a lower fuel consumption than purely
hydraulic ones, will be installed in pick-up vehicles of a global automotive
group.
