Silicon Sensing produced its 30 millionth inertial sensor
October 6, 2025 - Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd has announced the production of its 30 millionth inertial sensor.
Since it was established in 1999, the company has supplied inertial sensors and systems to many markets worldwide, including robotics, industrial production, marine, aerospace, defence, transport and space. The company’s focus is on high-performance gyros, accelerometers, inertial measurement units and combi-sensors, all based on Silicon Sensing’s own unique, patented, micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Products include market-disrupting inertial measurement units (IMUs) and gyros offering the highest levels of performance and challenging far larger, heavier and less robust fibre optic (FOG) and dynamically tuned gyro (DTG) -based systems and sensors.
The company’s in-house production facilities manufacture these precision products at high volume, whilst meeting the, often complex, needs and rigorous standards of multiple markets.
David Somerville, General Manager of Silicon Sensing, stated: "The production of 30 million sensors is an immense accomplishment for our team. Achieving this milestone has required substantial engineering expertise, continuous process refinement, sustained innovation, clear long-term commitment and considerable financial investment. Together, these factors have enabled us to maximise production whilst maintaining exceptional product performance."
