digid GmbH
"We make your material smart"
German pioneer in nanoscale temperature and force sensor technology for robotics, medical devices, wearables, and industrial applications.
digid GmbH is a Mainz, Germany-based technology company that develops and manufactures proprietary nanoscale sensor technology for temperature and force measurement. Founded in 2019, digid has industrialized patented printed electronics fabrication technology to produce sensors with a footprint as small as 1 micrometer, enabling ultra-dense sensing arrays that can be embedded directly onto product surfaces without altering their physical geometry. The company operates as a CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization), developing and producing nanosensors in-house and bringing them to market through selected partners. digid's technology is protected by 14 patents and has been qualified for high-volume production, with over one million sensors produced to date.
The sensor elements are capable of measuring temperature or force simultaneously and can be arranged in arrays of up to 16x16 sensors on curved or flat surfaces. In robotics, digid's nanoscale force sensors can be deposited directly onto gripping surfaces to enable precise force feedback and tactile sensing without modifying the component's shape, addressing one of the persistent challenges in robotic manipulation: the creation of robotic skin with sensor density comparable to or exceeding that of human skin. Additional application domains include medical devices, wearables, food safety monitoring, automotive systems, aerospace, animal health, logistics, and AI infrastructure. digid collaborates with Ansys for simulation-based sensor placement optimization.
The company employs approximately 27 people and is headquartered at Robert-Koch-Strasse 30a, 55129 Mainz, Germany. digid exhibited at CES 2026 and participates in industry events such as Sensor+Test and Compamed.
