Building on TDK's 85 years of experience commercializing magnetic and electronic materials, SensEI's strategy will be to create Industry 4.0 solutions combining multiple TDK assets with technologies from TDK production-released solutions (sensors, batteries, and passive component platforms). The platform will tie in new and existing TDK software/edge AI with TDK hardware solutions such as motion, magnetic, microphone, current, temperature and battery/energy harvesting sensor solutions and directly target manufacturing, heavy industry, and renewable energy markets.

Sandeep Pandya has been recruited from outside of TDK to lead TDK SensEI as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Pandya is an entrepreneurial C-level leader with a successful record of developing teams, products, and new markets across technologies and industries. His focus in recent years has been on building early-stage ventures with artificial intelligence (AI)/deep tech foundations. Pandya serves on several early-stage venture and non-profit boards. Sandeep earned an MBA from Northwestern University's J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, and BS and MS degrees in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

"In industrial operations, the need for a fully integrated platform fusing multiple sensors and AI technologies at the edge is becoming essential in maintaining production uptime," said Sandeep Pandya, CEO, TDK SensEI. "The promise of Industry 4.0 will be realized by those companies who lead in the commercialization of these solutions, which is why I'm excited to lead and grow this entity for TDK."
