Terabee SAS
Saint-Genis-Pouilly, France sensor maker founded 2012; builds time-of-flight TeraRanger modules and FLOW sensors for buildings and mobile robots.
Terabee SAS is a French sensor manufacturer headquartered in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, France, founded in 2012 by Max Ruffo, Claudio Parrinello, and Bjarne Hadland. The company designs distance-sensing and people-counting hardware for building management and mobile robotics.
Its TeraRanger line covers single-point and array time-of-flight distance sensors, along with 3D and thermal camera modules, used for obstacle detection and localization on drones, AGVs, and other autonomous platforms. For smart buildings, Terabee sells the FLOW and FLOW M door- and corridor-mounted people-counting sensors and the OCCUPANCY thermal sensor for meeting rooms and open areas, plus the Air Quality SB5 indoor air sensor. The counting sensors rely on thermal imaging rather than cameras, are rated above 98 percent accuracy, and carry IP67 environmental ratings for industrial deployment.
Terabee has supplied sensors for building projects including a Geneva installation of 56 sensors across roughly 4,000 square meters that the company reports cut energy use by about 60 percent, and lists customers and partners including Siemens, Vinci Energies, Planon, Kardham Digital, and FIPOI, along with a technology partnership with CERN on drone-inspection sensors.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
TeraRanger Evo 15m
Lightweight infrared Time-of-Flight distance sensor with 15 m range for drone altitude hold and robotic obstacle detection.
TeraRanger Tower Evo
Solid-state LiDAR system with 4 or 8 ToF sensors in a 360-degree ring for multi-directional obstacle avoidance on drones and AMRs.
