Sensor-Controlled Infrared Heat
Infrared heat that responds to measured conditions.
Sensor-controlled infrared heat combines temperature sensing, control logic and regulated infrared output within a closed feedback loop.
INFRAMEDIC integrates these functions through SAFETY SENSE, ONE-CONTROL and dedicated infrared emitter platforms — enabling infrared output to adapt automatically instead of operating only at a fixed preset level.
Infrared output controlled by measured temperature.
Sensor-controlled infrared heat is a control method in which temperature measurements are continuously used to regulate infrared emitter output. Instead of relying exclusively on a timer, cabin temperature or fixed power setting, the system receives feedback from the application area and automatically adjusts infrared output according to the defined control logic.
Sense. Process. Regulate. Repeat.
Contactless temperature detection
SAFETY SENSE measures temperature at defined points in the application area without physical contact.
Real-time data processing
ONE-CONTROL processes the sensor data together with the configured operating and control logic.
Automatic infrared adjustment
The control system increases or reduces compatible infrared emitter output according to the measured conditions.
Continuous closed-loop control
Measurement and regulation are repeated continuously throughout the active operating cycle.
What is closed-loop infrared control?
A closed-loop control system continuously uses measured feedback to influence its own output. In an INFRAMEDIC system, temperature data from SAFETY SENSE is processed by ONE-CONTROL. The resulting control signal regulates the connected infrared emitter. New temperature measurements then provide updated feedback to the control system.

Controlled infrared output
Two different approaches to infrared control.
| Conventional fixed-output control | Sensor-controlled infrared control |
|---|---|
| Preset emitter output | Automatically regulated emitter output |
| No direct application-area feedback | Temperature feedback from the application area |
| Adjustment may require user input | Automatic adjustment by the control system |
| Output primarily follows preset settings | Output responds to measured conditions |
| No temperature-based feedback loop | Closed-loop control |
Why is application-area temperature different from cabin temperature?
Cabin air temperature describes the thermal conditions of the surrounding air. Infrared emitters, however, transfer radiant energy directly toward surfaces within their radiation field. Measuring temperature within the application area therefore provides a different type of feedback than measuring only the surrounding cabin air temperature.
INFRAMEDIC uses temperature feedback from the defined application area as an input for automatic infrared regulation.
Sensor. Control. Emitters.
CORE-RADIANT 230 / 110
Fixed infrared emitter architecture for 230 V and 110 V system environments.
CORE-FLEX 24
24 V textile infrared emitter architecture for compact and application-specific integration.
From fixed output to responsive control.
INFRAMEDIC was founded around the idea that infrared output should not simply remain fixed while thermal conditions at the user change. This led to a technology architecture in which contactless temperature detection, automatic control and regulated infrared emitters operate as one coordinated system.
Developed and protected in Switzerland.
Key elements of the INFRAMEDIC technology platform are protected through granted patents and additional patent applications covering sensor-controlled infrared regulation and dedicated emitter architectures.
Sensor-controlled infrared heat — quick answers.
What is sensor-controlled infrared heat?
Sensor-controlled infrared heat uses temperature measurements as feedback for automatically regulating infrared emitter output.
What is closed-loop infrared control?
Closed-loop infrared control continuously uses measured conditions as feedback and adjusts emitter output according to the configured control logic.
How does SAFETY SENSE work?
SAFETY SENSE uses contactless sensing points to measure temperature within the defined application area and provides this information to ONE-CONTROL.
What does ONE-CONTROL do?
ONE-CONTROL processes sensor information, manages the operating logic and controls compatible infrared emitters within the INFRAMEDIC architecture.
Does the system regulate infrared output automatically?
Yes. In compatible INFRAMEDIC system configurations, ONE-CONTROL uses SAFETY SENSE temperature data to regulate emitter output automatically.
Is sensor-controlled infrared the same as controlling cabin temperature?
No. Cabin temperature refers primarily to surrounding air conditions, while sensor-controlled infrared regulation uses temperature feedback from the defined application area to influence emitter output.
Which emitter platforms are available?
The INFRAMEDIC architecture currently includes CORE-RADIANT 230 / 110 and CORE-FLEX 24.
Can manufacturers integrate the technology?
Yes. INFRAMEDIC develops the platform for its own products as well as OEM integration, selected retrofit applications and technology partnerships. Explore OEM integration →
