PNI sensors harness the existing power of the Earth's magnetic field to tell you whether you're up or down, on a tilt, or facing east. They're reliable and pinpoint-accurate across a screen or down a ravine; underwater; in space; in a moving vehicle; and at extreme temperatures — all while using up to 10 times less power than other sensor technologies.
Unlike ordinary sensors, which require expensive, time-consuming algorithm development, analog expertise, and integration work, PNI sensors come ready to integrate — with advanced extrapolative tilt calibration for reliability in any environment or application. And every PNI sensor is backed by our knowledge and expertise as the leader in low-power, high-resolution sensor technology.
PNI offers a wide range of position sensors and modules:
- SmartSens sensor components for small-size, custom integration;
- CompassPoint Low cost 2-axis and 3 axis digital compass modules for low-power applications;
- FieldForce industry-leading orientation accuracy that works in real-world conditions;
- SpacePoint motion-based controller technology for consistent, high speed orientation sensing.
Many leading manufacturers use PNI's proprietary magneto-inductive technology in their marquee products across a wide spectrum of applications, including compassing, surveying equipment, sonar, oceanography equipment, motor vehicles, and robotics.
We enable your watch to tell more than time.
PNI sensors add compass functions to high-performance sports watches from Timex and Suunto.
