Monza, Italy – Nantes, France — In a move that underscores the convergence of advanced sensing and sustainable industrialization, Truesense and 4MOD Technology have formally announced a strategic bidirectional cooperation. This agreement expands upon a multi-year technical partnership, integrating Truesense’s Ultra-Wideband (UWB) AI radar platforms with 4MOD’s renowned expertise in IoT engineering and eco-design.
The collaboration is uniquely structured as a peer-to-peer industrial exchange, focusing on two high-growth sectors: Intelligent EV charging infrastructure and people-centric sensing for elderly care.
Enhancing the Sparklin Ecosystem with Spatial Awareness
On one side of the partnership, 4MOD is integrating Truesense UWB platforms into its broader IoT portfolio and specifically into the Sparklin platform. Sparklin is dedicated to intelligent, connected services for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
By embedding UWB technology, the Sparklin ecosystem gains a new layer of contextual intelligence. UWB’s precision ranging and spatial awareness allow for:
- Enhanced Presence Detection: More accurate triggering of charging sessions and security protocols.
- Contextual Interaction: Streamlined user experiences as vehicles and owners approach charging points.
- Value-Added Services: Data-driven insights into how physical spaces around chargers are utilized.
Industrializing Compassion: The MATE Device
Conversely, Truesense is leveraging 4MOD’s deep experience in product design and manufacturing to bring its own innovations to market. A primary focus is the MATE device, a solution designed for the elderly care market.
Truesense utilizes 4MOD’s mastery of “casing and industrialization” to ensure that the sophisticated UWB radar tech inside is protected by a physical product that is durable, aesthetically appropriate for home environments, and optimized for lifecycle efficiency.
A Shared Vision for Sustainability
A core pillar of this cooperation is a shared commitment to environmental responsibility. 4MOD’s “Eco-design DNA”—which prioritizes material efficiency, reuse, and circularity—complements Truesense’s mission to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.
“Working with 4MOD allows us to strengthen products like MATE through high-quality design and industrialization,” said Armando Caltabiano, CEO of Truesense. “Their focus on reuse and environmental responsibility aligns naturally with our platforms, helping us deliver sustainable solutions ready for scale.“
Sylvain Stephan, Co-founder and COO of 4MOD, echoed this sentiment: “Integrating Truesense UWB platforms enhances spatial awareness and precision, enabling smarter and more valuable services for EV charging and connected applications.“
Why This Matters
This partnership illustrates a significant trend in the IoT landscape: the shift from “connected devices” to “intelligent environments.” By combining Truesense’s ability to “see” and “understand” a room or a charging bay with 4MOD’s ability to build hardware that respects the planet, the two companies are setting a new standard for how technology serves both mobility and human well-being.
