How it all Began…
In1994, in the clean room of the University of Twente, Hans-Elias de Bree discovered that the MEMS based thermal mass flow sensor he was working with was so sensitive that it had acoustic properties. The Microflown was born. In 1998, we cofounded Microflown Technologies, in essence with no clueon who would benefit from measuring particle velocity directly. Seasoned university professors wished us good luck and told us to prepare for ten years’ lead time before industry would adopt, when at all. The chances of success were estimated to be ten percent.
We sailed the oceans, exploring markets like building acoustics and bioacoustics. We tried a passage into ISO certified markets. They did not let us in. We found our anchor harbor in the global manufacturing industry, where engineers always look for better tools to do the job.
Charting sound fields is not limited to visualization techniques. Above all, it is about capturing the correct data with sufficient spatial resolution. The uniqueness of the Microflown sensor, the algorithms applied to the captured data and the user friendly tools, provide the mapping as outcome.
Today, the Microflown team, and all its international partners, built a web of highly knowledgeable professionals that travel the world helping engineers to make their products quieter and more reliable. Naming our latest product, the Voyager is a tribute to all who took, and take, the courage to make the Microflown sensor what it has become now: Indispensable for the true professionals.
