The eBook features multiple articles on advancements in MEMS technology, highlighting the critical roles these devices play in Industry 4.0.
While sensors have long been a fixture in industrial applications, their deployment has been slowed by issues relating to cost, size, and accuracy.
Advances in compact MEMS technology have created new opportunities for sensor deployment in smart factories, while reduced cost and current consumption have improved the scalability of sensor solutions.
This eBook examines the technological advances achieved over the past decade, highlighting the many ways in which sensor suppliers have addressed customer demands.
Industrial Sensing Solutions features detailed information on several ST products, including the LSM6DSOX iNEMO inertial module and the ISM330DHCX iNEMO inertial SiP module, specifically tailored for Industry 4.0 applications.
These robust system-in-packages incorporate a 3-axis digital gyroscope and 3-axis digital accelerometer in a low-power solution with a machine-learning core.
The machine-learning core, an ST innovation, is a power-saving feature that allows the sensor to recognise activities without having to wake the rest of the system.
