Methode Electronics, International and, SensorDynamics announced that they have signed a long-term collaboration agreement. The agreement allows both companies to use and merge their respective technology strengths to attract high-integrated electronic sensors and sensor modules business in the high volume automotive and non-automotive markets.
Methode and SensorDynamics will co-operate in sales and marketing, development, and manufacturing of smart innovative sensors using Methode’s expertise in ‘eddy current’ inductive sensing and SensorDynamics’ experience in fail-safe micro-sensors and MEMS. This technology will initially be developed for the automotive industry. It will also have the capability of crossing into industrial applications.
Methode believes that smart sensors will continue to be a rapid high growth area in several automotive and industrial applications in the future because of their precision, versatility and high processing power. For instance, as traditional electro-mechanical and standard electronic devices in use today, exit the automotive world, they will be replaced by more sophisticated, customised, state of the art devices. This becomes more evident as driver assisted systems and by-wire applications come into play.
SensorDynamics acts as vertical micro-sensor system integrator on the electronics component level and is thus the ideal partner of choice for sensor module manufacturers like Methode. In fact, through this partnership SensorDynamics will be leveraging its know-how in high-level sensor system integration. Because of its in-depth experience gathered in advanced automotive micro-sensors including gyroscopes and accelerometers, SensorDynamics is convinced that smart sensors will dominate future automotive and industrial applications. Due to a sophisticated pooling of hardware and software modules, intelligent sensors are now both smart and fail-safe.
