Meet Winsen at SENSOR CHINA 2026: Three Highlights to Watch in Shanghai
SENSOR CHINA 2026 is approaching.
From September 16 to 18, 2026, Winsen will exhibit at the China (Shanghai) International Sensor Technology and Application Exhibition, bringing a broad portfolio of sensor technologies and application-oriented solutions to Booth 2C001-1 at the Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing.
This year, our exhibition will focus on four major application areas:
- gas safety;
- industrial safety;
- energy storage safety;
- smart home sensing.
In addition, visitors will be able to explore several new sensing technologies covering gas detection, intelligent miniaturized sensing and AI-powered olfactory perception.
Here are three highlights to watch at the Winsen booth.
Highlight 1: MPn-5 UL 2075 Certification Ceremony
One of the key events during SENSOR CHINA 2026 will be the on-site presentation of the UL certification certificate for the Winsen MPn-5 Semiconductor Propane Gas Sensor.
The MPn-5 propane sensor has successfully achieved UL 2075 certification, providing additional third-party validation for applications requiring reliable propane detection.
UL 2075, Gas and Vapor Detectors and Sensors, evaluates gas detection products against requirements related to safety, performance and reliability.
For propane detection applications, long-term sensor stability is particularly important because the sensing element may remain in continuous operation for many years before a real gas leakage event occurs.
MPn-5 is designed for applications including:
- residential LPG detectors;
- commercial propane leak alarms;
- gas safety equipment;
- integrated combustible gas detection products.
The sensor also features a long expected service life and strong resistance to environmental interference, helping OEM manufacturers develop propane detection products for long-term operation.
During the exhibition, representatives from UL Asia will participate in the certification presentation at the Winsen booth.
For customers developing propane or LPG detection equipment, this will also be an opportunity to discuss MPn-5 technical integration directly with our engineering and sales teams.
Highlight 2: SMX100 Miniature Intelligent Gas Sensors Reach the Competition Final
Miniaturization is becoming an important direction in industrial gas sensing.
As portable detectors, wearable devices, robots, drones and distributed IoT sensing terminals become smaller and more intelligent, traditional sensor dimensions can increasingly limit product design.
The Winsen SMX100 Series miniature intelligent gas sensors were developed for this new generation of applications.
During SENSOR CHINA 2026, the SMX100 Series will participate in the final stage of the 2026 International Intelligent Sensor Innovation Competition after successfully advancing through the previous round.
The series combines compact dimensions with integrated signal processing, providing a new sensor option for applications where installation space and intelligent integration are critical.
Potential application areas include:
- portable gas detectors;
- industrial wearable devices;
- industrial inspection robots;
- humanoid robots;
- UAV and low-altitude platforms;
- distributed industrial IoT monitoring;
- compact gas detection terminals.
During the concurrent gas sensing technology forum, the Winsen R&D team will also present the development and application direction of the SMX100 intelligent sensor platform.
For OEM engineers looking for smaller and more integrated toxic gas sensing solutions, the SMX100 Series will be one of the key technologies to explore at our booth.
Highlight 3: AI-NOSE and Multi-Dimensional Sensing Solutions
Another major highlight will be Winsen's AI-NOSE electronic nose solution.
As robots and intelligent devices move from controlled environments into real-world applications, vision alone is no longer sufficient.
Industrial robots may need to detect combustible or toxic gases.
Inspection platforms may need to monitor oxygen, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and particulate matter.
Service robots may eventually need to identify abnormal odors or characteristic smell patterns.
AI-powered olfactory sensing adds another dimension to machine perception.
The Winsen ZM101-A AI-NOSE combines a multi-channel MEMS gas sensor array with intelligent algorithms, enabling the system to analyze complex gas and odor response patterns rather than relying on only one concentration value.
A typical workflow can be described as:
Odor / Gas Exposure → Multi-Sensor Response → Feature Extraction → AI Analysis → Pattern Recognition
This technology opens new possibilities in applications such as:
- industrial robot inspection;
- household odor recognition;
- food freshness evaluation;
- automotive cabin sensing;
- environmental monitoring;
- intelligent appliances;
- AI-based gas pattern recognition.
Following strong interest in the AI-NOSE solution at recent robotics exhibitions, SENSOR CHINA 2026 will provide another opportunity for customers and partners to experience the technology and discuss potential integration projects.
Four Sensor Solution Areas for Real-World Applications
Beyond individual products, Winsen will present complete sensing portfolios for four major application areas.
Gas Safety
Gas safety solutions cover combustible gas detection for residential and commercial environments.
Applications include:
- natural gas alarms;
- LPG and propane detectors;
- gas leak monitoring;
- commercial gas safety systems.
Winsen provides different sensing technologies to support various detection requirements, including semiconductor, catalytic, infrared and laser-based approaches.
Industrial Safety
Industrial environments require continuous monitoring of many toxic, combustible and process gases.
Winsen's industrial sensing portfolio covers gases such as:
- CO;
- H2S;
- NH3;
- SO2;
- NO2;
- Cl2;
- O2;
- combustible gases;
- VOCs.
These sensors can support fixed gas detectors, portable instruments, confined-space equipment and industrial IoT monitoring systems.
Energy Storage Safety
Battery energy storage systems require increasingly sophisticated early-warning strategies.
Gas sensing can provide valuable information during abnormal battery conditions before visible fire develops.
Winsen's energy storage sensing portfolio can support multi-parameter monitoring involving gases and environmental parameters such as:
CO + H2 + VOC + Smoke + Flame + Temperature / Humidity
Different sensing configurations can be deployed at cabinet, system or pack level according to the safety architecture.
Smart Home Sensing
Modern home appliances are becoming more aware of their surrounding environment.
Winsen will also display sensor technologies for:
- indoor air quality;
- CO2 monitoring;
- temperature and humidity;
- particulate matter;
- formaldehyde;
- refrigerant leakage;
- combustible gas safety;
- smart appliance control.
These sensing technologies help OEM manufacturers develop appliances that are safer, more energy-efficient and more intelligent.
From Sensing Components to Integrated Solutions
SENSOR CHINA is not only an opportunity to showcase individual sensors.
For Winsen, it is also an opportunity to demonstrate how different sensing technologies can work together within complete products and systems.
Our portfolio covers sensing principles including:
- electrochemical;
- semiconductor;
- catalytic;
- NDIR infrared;
- TDLAS laser;
- MEMS;
- thermal conductivity;
- photoelectric sensing;
- pressure and environmental sensing.
This allows customers to select sensing technologies according to their actual application rather than relying on a single technical route.
For OEM projects, our team can also discuss requirements related to:
- target gas and measurement range;
- sensor dimensions;
- power consumption;
- output interface;
- environmental compensation;
- structural integration;
- calibration;
- application-specific customization.
The goal is to help customers move more efficiently from sensor selection to finished-product development.
