The Challenge

A leading automotive manufacturer faced critical challenges in their airbag deployment systems. Legacy sensors were producing inconsistent readings, leading to potential safety risks and costly recalls. The existing solution had:

  • 92% accuracy rate with unacceptable margin of error
  • High sensor failure rates in extreme temperature conditions
  • Complex calibration requirements increasing production costs

The Solution

SMD Sensors collaborated closely with the manufacturer's engineering team to implement our FS-2000 series flow sensors. The solution included:

Precision Engineering
Custom-calibrated sensors for specific vehicle models
Temperature Resilience
Operational range from -40°C to 125°C
Simplified Integration
Plug-and-play design reducing installation time by 70%
24/7 Support
Dedicated technical team throughout implementation

The Results

99.8% Accuracy Rate
Up from 92% with legacy system

Achieved industry-leading precision in airbag deployment detection, virtually eliminating false positives and negatives in crash scenarios.

2.5M Units Deployed
Across 12 vehicle models

Successfully integrated into production lines with zero recalls due to sensor malfunction in the first 18 months.

24-Month ROI
60% reduction in total cost of ownership

Reduced production costs, eliminated recalls, and improved customer satisfaction scores by 23%.
