murata New functions added to soil sensors

  In recent years, the use of synthetic culture soil such as rock wool and coconut peat is popular for crops including tomatoes and strawberries. Since the water retention capability of these kinds of culture soil is extremely high compared to general culture soil, proper measurement of water content and EC*1 values was deemed difficult since it was difficult to have the sensor section contact with material.

  *1EC: Electric Conductivity. The amount of ions in fertilizers can be measured through EC

  Murata has provided software updates and added functions to the sensor section, enabling measurement of water content and EC values on rock wool and coconut peat. As a result, improvement of crop quality, increased yield, and resource saving can be achieved through optimal management of water and fertilizer resources in a wide range of cultivation environments. Murata will continue to develop sensors that meet the agricultural market needs and contribute to achieving sustainable agriculture.

Commercialized high precision agricultural CO2 sensors with superior long-term stability
  Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Murata") has commercialized "IMG-CA0012-12" (hereinafter "this product"), a case and cable type CO2 sensor. This high precision product primarily connects to environment measurement equipment in agricultural greenhouses and stably measures CO2 concentration. Through linkage with photosynthesis accelerators, this product will contribute to improving crop quality and increasing yield. Additionally, it improves energy efficiency by injecting an optimal amount of CO2 at an optimal timing. Mass production and supply for this product has begun in Hakui Murata Manufacturing.  In the field of agriculture, increased yield and quality improvement per unit area are required since there is a reduction in yield and decline in quality due to global warming as well as a drop in agricultural worker population. Technology for accelerating crop photosynthesis using CO2 application is an effective means of addressing these challenges. Furthermore, due to the recent increase in energy costs, effective CO2 application based on environmental data measurements is crucial. As a result, high-precision CO2 sensors, which offer long-term stability, require no calibration, and are resistant to malfunction, play a crucial role in photosynthesis accelerator technology.  This product is equipped with an automatic calibration function that runs on our unique calibration curve algorithm and dual wavelength (for measurement and reference) NDIR*1. Therefore, atmospheric calibration is not required. This ensures high precision and long-term stability, making it maintenance-free. Furthermore, its case and cable type design enhances user handling and ease of installation.  *1NDIR: Non-Dispersive Infrared Absorption  Specifications  CO2 sensors were installed in greenhouses and were used for a year for tomato cultivation and 2 years for rose cultivation. After use, CO2 concentration characteristics and temperature characteristics were evaluated.  It was discovered that CO2 concentration differences were minimal even when they were used for a long period of time in actual fields.  CO2 concentration characteristics  Temperature characteristics

Murata SCH1633-D01 Sets a New Standard for Automotive 6DoF Sensor
  Murata is expanding its range of innovative Six Degrees-of-Freedom devices with the introduction of the SCH1633-D01. The micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) based sensor moves the benchmark for performance, system integration, and total cost optimization. It is designed for various automotive applications, including autonomous driving (AD), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), inertial navigation, vehicle stability control, and camera or headlight alignment.  Market Demands  With the increasing push for vehicle autonomy and safety, there is an unquestionable demand for extremely accurate sensors with comprehensive built-in safety features and a high level of integration. Likewise, complying with technical regulations like the UNECE’s headlight leveling regulation requires accurate and cost-optimized solutions – something the SCH1633-D01 has demonstrated it can achieve.  The SCH1633-D01 is a single-package solution optimized for zonal architecture where all required subsystems, like GNSS integration, chassis control, and vehicle attitude sensing (camera and headlight alignment) can utilize its measurements. It is targeted for deployment in the central vehicle inertia measuring unit (IMU) providing a high-quality signal for all subsystems within the vehicle even in the toughest environments. This integration helps to reduce system complexity and provides a much-needed opportunity for cost optimization.  SCH1633-D01 Features  SCH1633-D01 is packaged in a unique 24-pin SOIC housing and uses the SafeSPI 2.0 interface with an up to 20-bit data frame for an extremely smooth and high-resolution output. The component supports various system-level time synchronization features, ensuring that the SCH1633-D01’s output can be easily harnessed across the entire vehicle. Furthermore, the extensive self-diagnostics features utilize over 200 monitoring signals to ensure the output is always trustworthy.  The SCH1633-D01 is designed to provide a high-quality output, even in harsh temperature conditions. It features AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualification to guarantee reliable use throughout the whole component lifetime and is ISO26262 compliant with ASIL-B+ rating (up to ASIL-D via system integration) for exceptional built-in safety.  For further information on the product’s extensive functionality, please visit its detail page here.  Murata’s Recent 6DoF MEMS Success  Murata’s previous generation 6DoF MEMS solution has proven to be highly successful as over 90% of autonomous miles in California alone are driven with the sensor on board. The improvements in this next-generation 6DoF devices are based on customer feedback, and they have already gained global recognition.  The industrial counterpart SCH16T-K01, launched in January this year, has won the first prize in the Industrial & Manufacturing category of the Sensors Converge fair’s “Best of Sensors Award” competition and the SCH1633-D01 preliminary sample feedback has been remarkably positive.  A partner of Murata, Hexagon, has been using the SCH1633-D01 in their products. Gordon Heidinger, Segment Manager, Automotive and Safety-Critical Systems at Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division, remarked, “  The SCH1633-D01 is displaying exceptional performance for a single MEMS sensor. We're pleased to promote this sensor integrated with our positioning solution”.  Murata has also successfully demonstrated that the UNECE headlight leveling regulation can be fulfilled with the SCH1633-D01 sensor in combination with a commercially available alignment algorithm. This is a significant leap towards cost-effective regulation compliance.  “Automotive 6DoF applications are rapidly developing, with fierce competition among manufacturers to capture a share of the market. This product offers high performance, demanded by the latest systems, while also providing a much-needed cost-saving opportunity,” said Ville Nurmiainen, General Manager of Product management at Murata Electronics Oy. He continued, “The SCH1633-D01 will give both a technological and cost down advantage to OEMs choosing to utilize the product to its full potential and will help them to further drive automotive applications forward and create safer roads for us all.”  Preliminary samples are available now. Mass production of this exciting new solution is planned for early 2025.
