Innoseis ST is collaborating with the Nikhef R&D group and the Nikhef Electronics Technology group to develop an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). This is a custom-designed chip tailored for specific applications, that offers unmatched speed and efficiency, while further driving down power consumption and cost. For this innovative project, the consortium has received a €700,000 grant from Holland High Tech.

Why Is This Important?
Our sensor detects acceleration forces to measure vibrations, orientation, and shocks with exceptional precision. Higher sensitivity leads to more accurate detection, making them indispensable across various industries. This is why achieving unprecedented levels of sensitivity and accuracy, combined with low power consumption and compactness, is crucial for various applications, including:
- Geothermal energy – Enhanced seismic imaging for more efficient use of earth’s heat.
- CO2 storage (CCUS) – Precise monitoring of underground storage systems.
- Precision navigation – Improved inertial navigation systems for satellites and autonomous vehicles.
Innovation Through Collaboration
At Innoseis ST, we believe that collaboration between academic research and industrial innovation is essential for progress. Together with Nikhef, we are developing technologies that not only transform science but also revolutionize industries, creating new opportunities in sensing applications worldwide. — Mark Beker, CEO
