About Us

Who We Are

Newsense B.V. is the European arm of the Qianjiang Weighing Technology Group, headquartered at Trasmolenlaan 5 in Woerden, the Netherlands. Established in 2025, the company carries the group’s four-decade weighing heritage into the European market and adds a dedicated e-mobility division.

The group traces its roots to the Hangzhou Qianjiang Electrical Equipment Factory founded in October 1984 and was restructured into a joint-stock enterprise in 2000. For more than forty years it has concentrated on strain-gauge weighing sensors and rail-type weighing systems. Today it operates two business lines under one roof: measurement — load cells, rail weighbridges, force sensors , weighing instrumentation and positioning system  — and e-mobility, covering AC and DC EV charging infrastructure.

Business Lines

• Load cells &  measurement — strain-gauge load cells in eighteen-plus structures, rail pad and rail insertion sensors, high-temperature RFID labels and LiDAR.
• Rail weighing systems — dynamic and static track scales, pit-free continuous-rail designs, wagon overload and wheel-load detection, EMU calibration.
• Positioning System — Gray bus absolute positioning, GNSS/GPS and LiDAR multi-sensor fusion, UWB and encoder tracking in diverse structures, centimeter-level crane and rail vehicle positioning for harsh industrial environments.
• EV charging — AC chargers 7/11/22 kW, DC fast chargers 30–360 kW, multi-standards and split-type power cabinet systems, open OCPP 1.6J, CE and TR25 certified.

Engineering & Manufacturing

The group is a national high-tech enterprise integrating research, development, manufacturing, installation and service. A provincial-level R&D centre has been established in Zhejiang, and more than 330 people are employed group-wide, over 30% of them in R&D. The production base covers close to 20 mu with 20 000 m² of floor area, including two AC charger lines (2 200 pcs/month) and three DC charger lines (660 pcs/month), operated under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and IATF 16949.

Quality & Standards

Products are developed under the ISO 9001 quality management system with full traceability from raw material to final calibration. The company participates in drafting national standards, serves as chief editor of national vocational qualification training courses, and maintains industry–academy–research partnerships with Zhejiang University, Hangzhou Dianzi University and the China Jiliang University.

Technology Center

Measurement principles, proprietary patents and calibration practice behind every system — developed in-house and verified on full-scale rigs and in the field.

Continuous-Rail, Pit-Free Weighing

Conventional weighbridges cut the rail and build a pit. Our composite structure keeps the rail continuous and transmits wheel force through sensors seated in the rail web, so civil work collapses from months to days and the track keeps its full structural integrity. The principle is protected by our exclusive invention patents ZL 99253279.5 (composite continuous-rail weighing device) and ZL 200520101638.0 (continuous-rail whole-vehicle weighing device).

Weighing-Based Level Measurement

For molten iron and steel we measure level by weight rather than by radar or laser. Because the mass of the vessel is known, the remaining charge is a pure arithmetic consequence — immune to steam, dust, glare and slag build-up, which are exactly the conditions where radar gauges fail.

Sensor Families

Three structural families cover the whole load range: rail-pad sensors for pit-free continuous-rail decks, insert-type (pin) sensors for rail-web and axle-pin loads, and tension / S-beam sensors for suspension and ladle duties. All are strain-gauge devices with four-corner temperature compensation, giving stable output from −40 °C to +70 °C and beyond.

Proprietary Technology

The company holds 40 granted patents and 45 software copyright registrations. Highlights among the invention patents include:

• Dynamic/static dual-output rail weighbridge
• Dual vertical-force aggregated digital sensor
• Bilateral laser coding positioning system
• CAN-bus based rail weighbridge metrology system
• Four-in-one dynamic/static rail-pad sensor
• Insert-type wheel-load force sensor
• Attached rail wheel-load sensor
• High-speed wireless dynamic weighing sensor system
• Coke oven address detection and furnace-number auto-identification
• Ultra-remote wireless continuous address reading

Software Platform

Our weighing terminals run a full software stack of our own authorship: unattended dynamic rail metrology, pit-free continuous-rail bogie and axle metrology, dynamic axle-load software for large-tonnage rapid curve track scales, multi-channel digital high-speed acquisition and analysis, 32-channel data acquisition, coke oven four- and five-machine interlocking with fully automatic control, unattended anti-cheat weighing, and steel logistics tracking.

R&D and Verification

Sensor design, temperature compensation, calibration and system integration are carried out in one place. Every sensor family is verified on full-scale test rigs and on track — including the destructive rail-pad sensor trials conducted with the China Academy of Railway Sciences, and long-term service in the field.

On the e-mobility side a dedicated test centre covers both parts and complete chargers: a salt mist test chamber, a dust proof test chamber, a water proof test system and high/low temperature chambers validate every design before production release. Manufacturing runs on an MES management system with full traceability and poka-yoke error proofing.

Industry–Academy Cooperation

Long-term cooperation with Zhejiang University, Hangzhou Dianzi University and China Jiliang University underpins our sensor metrology and positioning work. We also participate in drafting national standards and serve as chief editor of national vocational qualification training courses.

Market Position

Group systems hold more than 50% domestic market share and are exported to Southeast Asia, West Asia, Europe and South America. EV chargers have been applied in more than 200 cities in China and over 50 countries worldwide, backed by more than 120 patents and copyrights.

Proven in the Harshest Conditions

Our sensors have survived the immersion of the 1998 Guangxi floods, withstood the extreme day–night temperature differentials of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway, and absorbed repeated speed-raising impact running over full line sections — and remain in service today. This is the standard we hold ourselves to on every installation.

Our Commitment

We hold to “meticulous design, meticulous manufacture” and “quality is the life of the enterprise”. From Woerden we support European customers with application engineering, configuration, commissioning and after-sales service across both business lines.

As our system solution manual puts it: we take quality as the foundation and customers as the center, adhere to integrity and dedication, and grow win-win with every partner — with technological innovation as the engine that keeps pushing the boundaries of weighing detection.
