Bosch Sensortec’s MEMS sensors portfolio added to Arrow’s
comprehensive IoT offering
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) has signed a global
distribution agreement with Bosch Sensortec to supply Bosch
Sensortec products. Bosch is a leading supplier of MEMS
(microelectromechanical systems) sensors worldwide. It has built on
an initial base in automotive applications to expand its offering
to consumer electronics markets and now provides a diverse
portfolio of MEMS devices for the internet of things (IoT). Arrow
offers an extensive range of IoT solutions, from component level
through to complete secure, end-to-end deployable services.

Since 1995, Bosch has designed and manufactured over eight
billion MEMS sensors and holds more than 1,000 patents on MEMS
technology. Its in-house expertise is fuelling a roadmap of
products, together with supporting software and reference designs,
that enable mobile and IoT devices to feel and sense the world
around them. Bosch Sensortec is now offering an extensive range of
highly integrated sensor products to meet the requirements of IoT
nodes for applications such as smart home and industry 4.0.
Arrow’s IoT portfolio includes a comprehensive range of hardware
components, development platforms and software tools linked
together by services to deliver the broadest available IoT
offering. The company’s Things Evolved solutions include specifying
hardware, carrying out system integration for IoT, implementing the
cloud data platform, maintaining the network and product lifecycle
management for assets that have reached the end of their
operational life.
Together, Arrow and Bosch Sensortec will be pursuing
opportunities for inertial, environmental and smart sensors in
applications including wearables, smart home, building automation,
industry 4.0, domestic robots, toys, augmented and virtual reality
and drones. As multiple sensors are integrated into single devices
and package sizes are shrunk to meet energy efficiency and space
requirements, Bosch Sensortec’s sensor data fusion software helps
to enable optimum application performance. The software separates
static and dynamic acceleration, compensates for 3D tilt,
eliminates magnetic distortion and identifies rest position for
sensor calibration.
Stefan Finkbeiner, CEO of Bosch Sensortec, commented: “This
agreement brings together two of the most dynamic companies
addressing the IoT, whose combined offerings can help many
companies accelerating their product development, deployment and
long term management. We look forward to a successful
relationship.”
Aiden Mitchell, global vice president of IoT sales at Arrow,
added: “Bosch Sensortec has created an excellent portfolio that is
well-positioned to address the proliferation of sensory edge
intelligence within today’s and future IoT applications. Bosch’s
highly integrated products and software solutions complement
Arrow’s Sensor-to-Sunset strategy perfectly.”
As an early example of their collaboration, Arrow has featured
market-leading sensors from Bosch Sensortec on Arrow’s newly
announced ARIS EDGE board, an ultra-low power wireless sensor node
solution based on the Renesas Synergy hardware and software
platform, designed to accelerate developers proof-of-concept and
significantly reduce time-to-market. ARIS EDGE features the Bosch
BME280, an integrated environmental sensor that combines humidity,
pressure and temperature measurement functions in a 2.5 x 2.5 mm²
package; and the BNO055, the first in a new family of Application
Specific Sensor Nodes (ASSN) implementing an intelligent 9-axis
Absolute Orientation Sensor, which includes sensors and sensor data
fusion in a single package.
The close collaboration is also shown by the recently released
environmental sensor BME680 from Bosch Sensortec which is now
available for pre-ordering at Arrow. BME680 combines temperature,
humidity, pressure and indoor air quality measurement in one
package and is ideally suited for the IoT.
