Bosch Sensortec is launching a longevity program and expanding its product portfolio to meet the specific needs of industrial applications. By ensuring products will be available for ten years , the program will give customers access to high-performance, robust sensors, with increased purchasing flexibility due to smaller reel sizes. Applications with long-lifecycle products that may require this extended longevity include industrial IoT (IIoT), robots, logistics, factory and building automation, agricultural equipment, smart homes and home appliances, as well as white goods. Bosch Sensortec is offering three products under the longevity program: BMI090L Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), BMA490L accelerometer, and BMP390L barometric pressure sensor.
The BMI090L is a high-performance longevity IMU designed for IIoT, robots, agricultural equipment, drones as well as white goods and home appliances. Thanks to its vibration robustness and temperature stability, the BMI090L enables use-cases such as navigation or motion- and asset tracking. The sensor's gyroscope offers a bias instability of less than 2 °/h.
The BMA490L is a high-performance longevity acceleration sensor, with excellent temperature stability, low noise, and low offset, making it well-suited for use cases such as predictive maintenance, asset tracking, and vibration monitoring. In the low-power operation mode, current consumption is reduced to 14 µA, useful for always-on applications.
The BMP390L is a high-performance longevity barometric pressure sensor for demanding industrial and IoT applications such as logistics, white goods and home appliances, precision agricultural machinery, robots, and drones. The sensor offers an excellent temperature stability of typically ±0.6 Pa/K and a typical relative accuracy of ±0.03 hPa, serving demanding use cases such as water level detection, asset tracking, and navigation.
