Murata UltraSonic Clearing Device (USCD)
Reliable Sensor Visibility — In Any Weather
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles depend on clear, reliable sensor data. However, rain, fog, snow, dust, and ice can significantly degrade camera and sensor performance. Murata’s UltraSonic Clearing Device (USCD)* addresses this challenge with an innovative, integrated approach designed to maintain visibility without the need for traditional cleaning hardware.
Murata Electronics was honored to receive the prestigious CLEPA Innovation Award for its groundbreaking Ultrasonic clearing (USCD) technology. This recognition celebrates Murata’s commitment to advancing automotive and industrial standards by delivering highly sensitive, non-destructive cleanliness solutions that enhance product reliability and manufacturing efficiency. USCD’s ability to detect microscopic contaminants with precision sets a new benchmark in quality assurance, reinforcing Murata’s position as a leader in innovative electronic components.
*(Please note, the UltraSonic Clearing Device is under development, and product specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice. Murata supplies only the PZT and vibrator components within the camera module (not the module itself)
