Before MEMS, gyroscopes and accelerometers
would cost thousands of dollars and were
used only in very niche applications. MEMS
have allowed us to create these devices at the
right cost and form factor so they can be truly
commercialized."

of functionality would not be feasible in such small
form factors and at such low power consumption.
Further, the miniaturization and integration of MEMS
are allowing for field advances that were previously
impossible. For instance, engineers are starting to
integrate microcontrollers into MEMS modules to
enable immediate edge processing of MEMS data.
Murata delivers industry-leading IMU solutions that
• Can operate in very harsh environments, including
over large temperature ranges
• Offer exceptional stability and accuracy over a long
lifecycle
• Exhibit immunity to shock and vibration in
industrial environments
