Miniature sensors and light solutions from ams OSRAM at Medica 2025
The new AS6223 temperature sensor from ams OSRAM is designed for compact, battery-powered devices that fit seamlessly into everyday life. The sensor comes in a package smaller than one square millimetre — barely bigger than a poppy seed — while maintaining an accuracy of ±0.09 °C. This makes it easy to integrate temperature measurement into wearables such as smartwatches, rings, or medical patches.
ST launches three-in-one motion sensor for industrial IoT applications
ST has revealed the ISM6HG256X, a tiny three-in-one motion sensor for data-hungry industrial IoT applications, serving as an additional catalyst for edge AI advancement. This smart IMU sensor uniquely combines simultaneous detection of low-g (±16g) and high-g (±256g) accelerations with a high performance and stable gyroscope within a single compact package, ensuring no critical event—from subtle motion or vibrations to severe shocks—is ever missed.
u-blox introduces the NORA-B27 Bluetooth LE module
u-blox has introduced the NORA-B27, the latest addition to their NORA-B2 family of Bluetooth Low Energy modules. Designed with u-connectXpress for scalability and ease of integration, the NORA-B27 provides a cost-optimised solution ideal for battery-powered, high-volume IoT applications such as sensor hubs, beacons, cable-replacement links, and mobile device companions.
