TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) announces that its subsidiary, Tronics Microsystems ‒ a leading provider of high-performance inertial MEMS sensor solutions ‒ is expanding its product portfolio to include vibration sensor solutions aimed at process and asset monitoring applications. This strategic development represents a major milestone in the company’s evolution and underscores its dedication to driving the digital transformation across industrial sectors.
For over two decades, Tronics has pioneered in delivering high-performance MEMS inertial sensor solutions for precise motion sensing, positioning, and navigation in aerospace, railway, and energy applications. Leveraging decades of experience in MEMS R&D, manufacturing, and test, the company builds on that legacy to introduce vibration sensor technologies for monitoring and predictive maintenance of critical processes and assets.
Mission
To be a provider of MEMS inertial sensor solutions for precise motion sensing, positioning, navigation, and condition monitoring of critical assets in transportation, energy, and industry.
Vision
To contribute to the digital transformation of transportation, energy, and industry by providing digital inertial and vibration sensors solutions.
A story of evolution
As industries evolve, digitally transforming towards Industrial IoT and more, so does the need for smarter systems that can continuously sense not just motion, but also the health of machines themselves through vibration spectrum monitoring. Tronics is then currently introducing vibration sensor solutions that bring a new layer of digital transformation and intelligence to industrial systems.
“Expanding offers into the vibration sensor market is a natural and strategic evolution for the Company, rooted in our MEMS DNA for high-end industrial applications. We did not just package an off-the-shelf basic accelerometer for our vibration sensors. Listening to the condition-based monitoring demand, we engineered innovative MEMS solutions with the same precision and reliability that define our inertial products and services,” said Julien Bon, CEO, Tronics Microsystems.
Tronics is currently completing the development of its first generation of vibration sensor solution for process and assets monitoring, enabling customers to design highly accurate quality control and predictive maintenance solutions.
