Company Performance Metrics
- Rastislav Varga: CTO and Founder
RVmagnetics was established by professor Varga in 2015, and in the meantime grew to size of 20 associates. To this date Company signed more than 2000 NDAs, and has been developing prototypes for number of clients including several Fortune 500 ones in US, Japan, EU but also Brazil and India.
RVmagnetics offers passive contactless sensing
technology based on magnetic bistable MicroWires using proprietary technology. Microwires are characterized by extremely high added value, simple production process, robustness and a wide range of application possibilities. The uniqueness of the sensing method led the company to file its first two patent applications in 2022, followed by 2 more in 2023 and 2024.
Sensors are providing accurate data on pressure, temperature, position and vibration with no direct contact between sensor and the sensing system - contactless measurement up to the distance of 10 cm in ideal conditions. Final applications are tailor-made according to client's requirements. The MicroWire sensor is helping overcome sensing obstacles in materials, parts and process including IIoT, Industry 4.0, Composite materials (automotive, aviation and beyond), electric motors, medical technologies, oil & gas etc. while allowing SHM, NDT and predictive maintenance. On top of it - system is also being used for unique identification and monitoring wear and tear status.
Company founder Prof. Varga has more than 25 years of experience in fundamental and applied research in magnetism. He is also member of the General Council at the European Magnetism Association. Backed by a team of 25 R&D professionals with combined experience of more than 100 years covers various aspects of microwires - chemists, physicists, mechanical engineers, electronics engineers and software developers.
