Bosch Sensortec has been named an embedded technologies honoree at the CES 2018 Innovation Awards for its BMA400 ultralow-power accelerometer designed for wearables and Internet of Things applications. “The BMA400 offers an unrivalled combination of low power consumption, outstanding performance and advanced features, making it ideal for wearables,” said Stefan Finkbeiner, CEO of Bosch Sensortec. “I’m delighted that its value has been recognized through this prestigious award.” The accelerometer uses 10 times less current than existing products while still delivering exceptional performance and significantly extends battery lifetime for always-on wearable devices such as fitness bands, smart clothing, watches and activity trackers. The integrated ultralow-power step counter of the BMA400 makes it easy to add activity recognition into new types of wearables such as regular watches, cutting down development time and effort. The CES Innovation Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Technology Association. Entries are evaluated by an expert panel on their engineering, aesthetic and design qualities, intended use/function, and user value, unique/novel features present, and how the design and innovation of the product directly compares to other products in the marketplace.
