What we offer & enable - Software and AI-enabled sensing solutionts for a better life

We combine hardware, software, and AI into holistic MEMS sensing solutions. This accelerates our customers integration, enables new use cases, and enhances users' well-being and convenience.

Hardware

Hardware

Hardware plays a crucial role in minimizing power consumption, as advanced sensors now integrate controllers alongside ASICs to achieve optimal efficiency.

World’s smallest accelerometer

For instance Our BMA530 is a ready-to-use step counter with an integrated microcontroller, allowing customers to deploy it directly. These solutions provide not just the hardware but also the necessary software, ensuring immediate usability.

Edge AI

Embedded AI

With AI running on the edge, there's no need for constant cloud connectivity. This ensures data remains private, slashes latency, and reduces power consumption, all while delivering real-time feedback to users.

Smart Connected Sensors is a fully integrated hardware & software solution that dramatically cuts development costs and time to market. We provide business customers with the full package: sensor, software and wearable reference design.

Platform for full-body motion tracking

"Bosch Sensortec has evolved from a component supplier to a leader in smart sensing solutions. Our sensors integrate MEMS technology with microcontrollers, software, and AI, enabling always-on functionality in consumer electronics. This allows continuous access to features without activating the device, significantly extending battery life and enhancing user experience, particularly in smartphones and hearables. Intelligent sensors and smart software facilitate quick access to voice assistants and health monitoring. Examples include voice activity detection in hearables, fall detection in smartwatches, and automatic orientation sensing in smartphones."
Stefan Finkbeiner, CEO Bosch Sensortec

100% in-house MEMS production

In 2024 alone, we surpassed the milestone of delivering over 1 billion MEMS sensors featuring integrated microcontrollers and software. From 2027 onwards, 90% of the products will include these integrated features. By 2030, we aim to achieve a remarkable total of more than 10 billion MEMS sensors sold with this advanced integration. As a pioneer in MEMS sensor technology, Bosch offers a unique advantage: with decades of 100% in-house MEMS production from design to manufacturing, and over 23 billion MEMS sensors produced, we know our hardware inside and out. This allows us to seamlessly adapt the software, reducing workload for our customers while delivering top-notch Bosch-quality and accelerated time to market. Our deep understanding of mass production and large capacity enables us to reliably handle high volume demands.

Why we prefer integrated software features in the sensor

Our build process leverages deep hardware knowledge to create optimized, validated software that reduces time to market and can be customized for specific applications.

Applications & Solutions
