STMicroelectronics India hosted annual MEMS media briefing at one of its world-class R&D center situated at Greater Noida. STMicroelectronics has already dominated the MEMS market for Consumer and mobile applications and continuously driving advanced automation and Industrial IoT.
Fourth Industry revolution is here and ST has gone extra mile to enrich smart manufacturing with accuracy, precision and longevity. Understanding the vast opportunity for MEMS sensors in the industrial environment, ST has introduced the portfolio of high-accuracy MEMS sensors and components designed with 10 years longevity assurance serving the needs of advanced automation environments.
ST spokesperson for MEMS Sensors, Vishal Goyal senior Technical Marketing Manager, Analog and MEMS Group, RF, Sensors and Analog Custom Products, Asean-ANZ and India, demonstrated and explained the following key takeaways:
