New inertial sensors follow the Collin’s Inertial Law

Collin's Inertial Law predicts that inertial sensor precision improves by a factor of two every 5 years. Noise goes down, and we can predict when the target accuracy for upcoming applications will be available, explains Jussi Collin, CEO of Nordic Inertial.

Nordic Inertial has the expertise to understand what the technology improvements mean to applications and how companies can prepare product portfolios beforehand. 

On January 9th, 2024, the globally leading manufacturer of electronics components and solutions, Murata, announced their new product at the Consumer Electronics Fair at CES 2024 in Vegas. The new sensor, called SCH16T, has an incredible motion sensing accuracy. The noise level of the sensor is so low that this enables the measurement of the Earth's rotation with unprecedented precision. At Nordic Inertial our team is inspired by the fact that SCH16T followed Collin’s Inertial Law as expected. 

– We at Nordic Inertial are excited about our partner Murata's new product, the SCH16T inertial measurement unit, a high accuracy inertial motions sensor. The sensor offers extremely accurate and precise information about acceleration and rotational motion, even to the level of  the rotation of the Earth. This performance is unforeseen among mass-market MEMS sensors.
