Original Algorithm*

Original Algorithm

Our seismic sensor module contributes to mitigation of secondary disasters caused by earthquakes. It is enabled by OMRON's original software algorithm*, which provides a output signal when the earthquake is equivalent to seismic intensity of 5+ on the Japanese scale.

* The algorithm calculate SI values which have high correlation with the measured seismic intensity, according to OMRON's research as of August 2021
