Santa Clara, California – Superior Sensor Technology introduces NimbleSense, an application-specific, pressure-sensor technology for medical, industrial, and automotive applications. The NimbleSense architecture is an integrated platform combining advanced piezoresistive sensing elements, analog signal path, processing intelligence, and proprietary integration techniques to create the industry's highest performing sensor solutions. NimbleSense-based solutions will reduce sensor inventory requirements and improve the reliability and performance of pressure sensor technology in mission critical equipment.
Superior Sensor Technology co-founders, Jim Finch, CEO and Tim Shotter, CTO, established the company in October 2016 with the intention of offering performance enhanced application specific sensors targeting high-performance, cost-focused medical and industrial HVAC equipment.
NimbleSense advantage
Superior Sensor Technology's NimbleSense architecture sets a new standard in the industry, offering the following significant advancements in pressure sensor technology.
- Highest performing pressure sensors achieving up to a 10x improvement in Total Error Band and accuracy relative to industry leading competitors
- Multi-range capability enabling a single sensor device – calibrated and performance optimized from 25Pa to 2,500Pa pressure ranges – to replace up to seven competitive sensors while maintaining 0.1% accuracy at each selected range
- Lowers sensor inventory by 3x to 7x, resulting in a significant manufacturing cost savings
- Industry's first sensor with a proprietary zero-tracking feature, virtually eliminating erroneous pressure readings in spirometry equipment and other medical applications
- First transmitter sub-system that integrates external system components required for self-calibration, and other system functionality, reducing the manufacturing bill-of-material (BOM) cost
