MEMS

The acronym MEMS stands for Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems. These devices have been recognized as one of the most promising technologies capable of revolutionizing both the industrial world and consumer products.

Electromechanical microsystems are nothing more than a set of devices of various kinds (mechanical, electrical and electronic) integrated in a highly miniaturized form on the same silicon substrate.

Sensors with MEMS technology can measure phenomena such as sounds, accelerations and pressures, etc.

This type of sensor is particularly reliable and robust. Through the use of carefully selected sensing elements and an R&D department with expertise In mechanics and electronics, Intea manufactures accelerometers and gyroscopes ready to be used by customers In their specific applications.

Microcontroller

Microcontroller technology has been widely used for years to create electronic controls, an activity that Intea has developed as its core business since its inception.

Thanks to this technology, it is possible to incorporate complex logic within the sensors, allowing the implementation of increasingly advanced functions.

Through the microcontroller, the sensors become intelligent to respond to the various application needs.

Today, we therefore speak of Smart Sensors because sensors are designed beyond the simple need to send switching or measurement signals, and their use extends to plant predictive maintenance logics by also integrating complex machine learning algorithms.

Intera has long matured microcontroller technology and today applies it to all types of sensors.
