mechIC (Mechanical Integrated Circuits) develops micromechanical components that are interconnected in a network similar to electronic components and implemented on a silicon chip. Fields of application include highly integrated sensor circuits for monitoring strain states and mechanical overloads. The mechanical components integrated in the sensors cover the entire measurement chain from data acquisition to the processing, selection and storage of selected strain values. The advantage of mechIC sensors over conventional electronic sensors is that they are energy self-sufficient, i.e. they can be operated without electricity and can be read out externally via RFID.
