  Some of the key benefits of our technology are:

Lower cost.
Our patented technology enables us to build these sensors at a significant reduction in cost. We are able to pass on these savings to you by charging 50% to 90% lower prices than our competition

High sensitivity and accuracy.
Capcitance based devices inherently offer much higher sensitivies and resolutions than other measurement techniques. We have developed a system to harness this advantage in a easy to use manner.

Robust electro-mechanical device.
Loadstar sensors are not based on delicate strain gauges or piezo components and thus are not susceptible to shocks, temperature changes and other environmental effects.

Low Profile. Flexible shapes.
Our sensors do not require any special member to which strain gauges are attached. Therefore, they can be as low as 0.1 inch in height, and be made in many shapes - circular, rectangular or other shape.

Low power consumption.
The sensors draw as low as 10 mW. This can be an important advantage for mobile/unattended battery based applications.

Easy connectivity.
Sensor information can be accessed from a computer or PDA using a wired or wireless gateway. Information can also be accessed via the Internet on a graphical Web page.

Scalability.
Loadstar sensors can be scaled up or down to meet your measurement range requirements. We have already developed sensors that can handle 10, 50, 250, 1200, 2000 and 10,000 pound loads with the same underlying technology.
