As a specialist in seat comfort, it was an obvious step for IGB Automotive to become involved with sensors that are used in the seat to detect occupancy. Depending on the application, the sensor must meet different requirements in terms of accuracy and reproducibility. For this reason, there are different sensor concepts and associated control units for monitoring comfort functions, seatbelt reminder or airbag control. The idea of combining the sensor with the electric seat heating system was developed by IGB Automotive and implemented in series production.
