Sensors for Tako
Tako IIoT system is sensor agnostic and compatible with with any industrial sensor. Configured to work out of the box with any 4-20mA sensor, you can also add a signal conditioner to use other industrial sensors including digital sensors, 0-10V, 0-5V and others.
Sensor Kits
For your convenience we have assembled collections of the sensors we recommend for various industrial assets.

Criteria For Our Recommended Sensors
Build quality.
We want to make sure every piece of equipment we source and produce can stand up to the rigors of use. Because of this, we only employ the best of every kind of sensor we can find. Our typical quality assurance process goes through three major steps:
Review of the producing company
Stress-testing of specific sensor model in anticipated use environments
Accuracy testing
If a sensor is able to pass all three of these parameters, then it is registered as a qualified sensor and integrated into the stream of sellable items.
Practicality.
The primary question to answer here is Is this sensor useful? We try to curate a list of sensors that individuals and organizations want to use, not just sensors that are easy to introduce into the sales stream. By prioritizing usability, we are able to get more sensors into the hands of users at a more rapid pace than if we were to qualify any single sensor that comes across the desk at any given time. That being said, please contact us via the contact page if you have a sensor that you or your organization would find useful—we’re always happy to qualify the kind of sensor that is requested rather than following trends.
Ease of use.
How simple is it to use the sensor in question? We try to utilize sensors that have the same mentality we do—why make things hard when they can be easy? When things are easy to use, they get used. We want the sensors you need to get used.
Variety.
While we’re careful about what we choose to sell, we try to get as wide a variety of sensors as possible. In this way, we can make sure that we’re meeting the needs of as many people as possible, regardless of industry.
OEM Integrations
Original equipment manufacturers are encouraged to take advantage of the Tako system’s versatility and add remote monitoring capabilities by integrating with their industrial products. Original sensors can interface with Tako via RS-232 and other common connectors.
