MicroStrain, Inc, a leading manufacturer of extremely small, highly accurate sensing systems, announces it will be increasing its Williston office space to accommodate continued growth, and will be seeking to grow its engineering, marketing and administrative staff.

MicroStrain announces the release of the newest in a line of innovative inertial sensors, the 3DM-GX3® -45 which is a GPS-aided inertial navigation system (GPS/INS). The 3DM-GX3® -45 is in a class of its own, with high performance tracking capabilities comparable to higher cost units, yet with a very small footprint (44mm x 25mm) and extremely light weight (23 grams).

The work conducted by MicroStrain represents break-through wireless sensing technology, not only for helicopters but also in condition based monitoring across a range of industries. Such systems can be used to monitor a wide variety of machines and structures including fixed wing aircraft, wind turbines, heavy equipment, and rotating machinery. Embedded energy harvesting wireless sensors can detect potential failures before they occur, extend the life of machines and structures, significantly reduce operating costs, and enhance safety.
