India's first contactless LMO sensor

• In a significant move to foster industrial technology and indigenous innovation in India, the Technology Development Board (TDB)—operating under the Department of Science and Technology (DST)—extended financial support to Puretronics India Private Limited on June 30, 2026, for the commercialization of its innovative Load Magnetic Overload (LMO) sensor.

• The company claims that this is India's first fully contactless and programmable load measurement system, offering a solution that is more modern, accurate, and effective than traditional load measurement techniques.

• The LMO sensor has been developed to allow for easy integration with modern industrial automation systems.

• It is fully compatible with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), and IoT (Internet of Things)-based industrial networks.

• These technologies enable more effective real-time monitoring of machinery, automated operations, and data management within industries.

• This is expected to enhance production process efficiency while also significantly improving operational safety and reliability.
