TDK announces that Tronics enters the machine and asset health monitoring market with vibration sensor solutions

TDK’s subsidiary, Tronics Microsystems, expands into vibration sensor solutions, targeting process and asset monitoring to support predictive maintenance and industrial IoT applications 

Building on two decades of MEMS expertise, the company leverages its legacy in inertial sensors to engineer high-precision vibration sensor solutions 

Strategic evolution aligns with Tronics’ mission and vision, reinforcing its role in digitally transforming transportation, energy, and industrial sectors through smart sensing solutions 

Live demonstrations planned at electronica India (Sept 17–19) and sps – Expo in Nuremberg (Nov 25–27), showcasing the new vibration sensor technology 

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) announces that its subsidiary, Tronics Microsystems ‒ a leading provider of high-performance inertial MEMS sensor solutions ‒ is expanding its product portfolio to include vibration sensor solutions aimed at process and asset monitoring applications. This strategic development represents a major milestone in the company’s evolution and underscores its dedication to driving the digital transformation across industrial sectors. 

For over two decades, Tronics has pioneered in delivering high-performance MEMS inertial sensor solutions for precise motion sensing, positioning, and navigation in aerospace, railway, and energy applications. Leveraging decades of experience in MEMS R&D, manufacturing, and test, the company builds on that legacy to introduce vibration sensor technologies for monitoring and predictive maintenance of critical processes and assets. 

Mission 

To be a provider of MEMS inertial sensor solutions for precise motion sensing, positioning, navigation, and condition monitoring of critical assets in transportation, energy, and industry. 

Vision 

To contribute to the digital transformation of transportation, energy, and industry by providing digital inertial and vibration sensors solutions.  

A story of evolution 

As industries evolve, digitally transforming towards Industrial IoT and more, so does the need for smarter systems that can continuously sense not just motion, but also the health of machines themselves through vibration spectrum monitoring. Tronics is then currently introducing vibration sensor solutions that bring a new layer of digital transformation and intelligence to industrial systems. 

“Expanding offers into the vibration sensor market is a natural and strategic evolution for the Company, rooted in our MEMS DNA for high-end industrial applications. We did not just package an off-the-shelf basic accelerometer for our vibration sensors. Listening to the condition-based monitoring demand, we engineered innovative MEMS solutions with the same precision and reliability that define our inertial products and services,” said Julien Bon, CEO, Tronics Microsystems.  

Tronics is currently completing the development of its first generation of vibration sensor solution for process and assets monitoring, enabling customers to design highly accurate quality control and predictive maintenance solutions.
