## Murata Shapes the Future with Smart Systems at Sensors Converge 2026

Murata is showcasing its innovative technologies in mobility, medical, and industrial sectors at the Sensors Converge 2026 event, held from May 5-7 in Santa Clara, California. The company aims to accelerate the development of smarter and more connected systems with its ultrasonic cleaning devices and high-precision positioning modules.

### Advanced Mobility and Autonomous Precision

Murata provides a competitive advantage in the automotive sector by offering leaner, software-based sensor solutions instead of large and bulky hardware. In collaboration with Hexagon, by using high-precision IMUs and advanced algorithms, it eliminates the need for suspension sensors that adjust headlight levels. This method reduces total system costs while providing ultra-reliable positioning data for V2X and ADAS applications. Additionally, the Ultrasonic Cleaning Device maintains camera visibility in harsh weather conditions, solving a critical problem for Level 4 and Level 5 autonomy.

### Miniaturization and Innovation in the Medical Field

Murata specializes in the mass production of high-precision components used in implants and wearable technologies. It has successfully scaled AMR sensors for continuous glucose monitoring and developed ultra-low noise inertial sensors capable of detecting heart rate signals in high-interference environments. These miniature and highly reliable solutions raise the standards for longevity and precision, which are vital for pacemakers and diagnostic devices.

### Industrial Connectivity and Navigation

For Industrial IoT and smart infrastructures, Murata bridges the long-range communication gap with Wi-Fi HaLow™ modules. Operating in the sub-1 GHz spectrum, this technology surpasses standard Wi-Fi, providing data transfer speeds of up to 15 Mbps over 1 kilometer, making it ideal for smart meters and large-scale building automation. Furthermore, Murata's Gyro Compass technology offers superior navigation accuracy in autonomous robotics and industrial positioning by detecting true north faster than traditional industrial sensors.
