Brembo Sensify braking system enters production – intelligent system with electromechanical, AI functions
Brembo’s Sensify intelligent braking system, unveiled in 2021, has entered large-scale production for a major global vehicle manufacturer, with annual supply contracts for hundreds of thousands of units. The AI-integrated, fluid-free system uses electromechanical actuators and dual ECUs to optimize brake force per wheel, adapt to driving conditions, and reduce weight and emissions while enabling customizable brake feel via an app.
Brembo’s Sensify intelligent braking system, first revealed in 2021, has now entered mass production for a leading global vehicle manufacturer. The company announced new contracts allowing annual supply of hundreds of thousands of units, marking a shift from prototype to commercial deployment. The Sensify system replaces traditional hydraulic circuits with a fluid-free architecture, connecting the brake pedal to a module that sends signals to the vehicle’s main ECU. Two separate ECUs—one for front and one for rear wheels—monitor inputs like road friction, vehicle weight, speed, and steering angle. These ECUs independently control each wheel’s actuator, enabling precise brake force application tailored to real-time conditions. Actuators are positioned near brake calipers, eliminating the need for long hydraulic lines. The system supports electromechanical actuation directly on calipers, and brake settings—such as pedal feel and force—can be customized via an app, with presets saved for multiple drivers. AI integration enhances anti-skid and traction control, while braking can also be activated via switches or buttons instead of a pedal. Brembo claims Sensify is lighter, more compact, and adaptable to left- or right-hand-drive layouts. Its optimized braking reduces emissions by minimizing drag between pads and discs. The system is versatile, benefiting commercial vehicles by adjusting to varying loads and motorcycles by compensating for weight shifts and road conditions. The technology aligns with automotive trends toward electrification and efficiency, offering a scalable solution for future vehicle designs. Brembo’s move underscores growing industry interest in AI-driven safety systems.
