Geneva, 3 June 2026 – STMicroelectronics has announced a new intelligent vibration sensor that boosts industrial condition monitoring with accuracy, reliability and energy efficiency.
Thanks to the cutting-edge MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) technology, the IIS3DWB10IS sensor includes the ISPU 2.0 (Intelligent Sensor Processing Unit) for real-time digital signal processing and AI inference at the sensing level. It is a small, rugged instrument that can measure accelerations and shocks up to 200g at frequencies above 10 kHz, in extreme temperatures up to 125°C, suitable for use in a tough industrial environment.
Vibration analysis is still a key tool for monitoring rotating and oscillating machinery across a range of industries, including automotive and manufacturing. The sensor is also able to detect anomalies such as bearing wear at an early stage and thus support predictive maintenance strategies to help reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency.
The integrated ISPU 2.0 improves the performance through dedicated hardware accelerators, which allow faster processing, less latency and lower power consumption. This innovation makes the sensor a strong alternative to traditional piezoelectric sensors, offering a lightweight, low-cost and energy-efficient solution, even for battery-powered systems.
This is recognized by the industry leaders such as Bonfiglioli S.P.A. as providing benefits in terms of reduced system design complexity and high performance. This breakthrough has reinforced STMicroelectronics’ leadership in smart industrial sensing technologies, with the global condition monitoring market projected to surpass $5 billion by 2032.
