Advanced Engineering for Integrated Automotive Systems
As vehicles evolve with more sensors and connected features, packaging space shrinks, system demands increase, and timelines shorten.
SBR TECH develops integrated electronic systems that simplify vehicle architecture, reduce hardware, and support efficient, cost-saving builds.
By housing design, engineering, and manufacturing under one roof in the USA, we provide OEMs with total control over performance, quality, and delivery.
50+ Years of Automotive Electronics Development
Recognized among America’s Top 50 Innovators
Innovation That Moves You
We create intuitive environments where advanced technology feels natural. By prioritizing the user experience and non-disruptive integration, our systems enhance vehicle performance and safety without complicating the drive.
Safer Closures and Vehicle Access
Smart Open / Smart Close® Systems
Gesture-based access system using radar and capacitive sensing for hands-free liftgate, door, and compartment operation.
Safe Close® Anti-Trap Systems (FMVSS 118 S5 Compliant)
Prevents injury and damage through non-contact obstacle detection with zero-force reversal for conductive objects and controlled reversal for all others.
Smart Entry Door Obstacle Sensor (DOS)
Detects people or objects near a door and halts or reverses movement to prevent entrapment or collision.
Remote Window and Door Operation
Enables safe remote closing and operation of windows and doors by combining Safe Close® and Smart Entry DOS with FMVSS-compliant safety systems.
Cleaner, More Intuitive Interfaces
Smart Touch® Capacitive Controls
Replaces mechanical switches with touch-sensitive controls that function through glass, leather, plastics, and other materials, supporting flexible interior design
Customizable Interface Systems
Supports programmable touch sensitivity, lighting, and multi-point interaction for climate, media, navigation, and vehicle controls
Virtual / Hidden Control Systems
Embeds controls beneath interior surfaces, eliminating exposed components and improving both durability and design flexibility
Integrated Control Panels (HVAC, Media, Navigation)
Consolidates multiple functions into a single interface, reducing system complexity and improving usability
Visibility and Sensor Performance
ClearFast® Heated Fluid Cleaning System
Clears snow, ice, and debris in under 30 seconds using temperature-controlled heated fluid (135–145°F), restoring visibility quickly
FMVSS, SAE, and OEM-Compliant Design
Meets industry standards while integrating with existing nozzle systems, wipers, and vehicle control modules
Integrated Sensor and Lens Cleaning
Maintains clear visibility for cameras and sensors that support safety systems and driver assistance features
Energy-Efficient Operation
Uses significantly less energy than traditional defrost systems, improving efficiency in both EV and ICE platforms
Cost and Warranty Reduction Through Design
At SBR TECH, we believe true innovation should pay for itself. By optimizing system architecture and embracing solid-state reliability, we eliminate the failure points of traditional mechanical components and deliver a superior bottom line for OEMs.
Component Reduction
By replacing traditional mechanical systems with solid-state controls, we have successfully eliminated up to 82 parts in a single application, drastically reducing assembly complexity.
Wire Harness Simplification
Our integrated approach reduces harness complexity by up to 50%, minimizing labor costs and streamlining installation.
Sensor and Hardware Consolidation
We leverage multi-functional radar and capacitive sensing to replace up to 11 discrete sensors and their associated wiring.
Reliability-Driven Design
Moving to 100% solid-state technology significantly lowers warranty claims, resulting in an estimated $2,000,000 in annual savings for our partners.
Weight and Efficiency Gains
Every system is engineered for weight reduction — such as our 4 lb. lighter seat electrical systems — directly contributing to improved EV range and ICE fuel economy
American-Made Engineering and Production Capacity
SBR TECH designs, engineers, manufactures, and validates automotive systems within a vertically integrated U.S. facility located in Reed City, Michigan.
