Murata showcases its latest industrial power and sensing portfolio, from predictive maintenance vibration sensors to compact DC-DC converters, PoE modules and data center supplies. The video walks through how these building blocks support robotics, medical devices and GPU servers by combining isolation, efficiency and protection features. More technical details on Murata’s DC-DC converter families are available at https://www.murata.com/products/power/nonisolated-dc-dc-converter
On the SPS Nuremberg 2025 show floor, the demo starts with a predictive maintenance setup where a small vibration sensor on a rotating shaft streams condition-monitoring data in real time. By analyzing vibration signatures and trends, engineers can detect bearing wear, imbalance or misalignment early instead of waiting for unplanned downtime. The same sensing know-how underpins Murata’s broader industrial IoT strategy, feeding edge gateways, dashboards and maintenance workflows that close the loop from raw data to actionable insight downstream.
The tour then covers communication and power modules for OT networks. PoE DC-DC modules deliver up to 72 W over Ethernet to cameras, access points and edge nodes, while non-isolated converters and quarter-brick modules cover motor drives and PLC backplanes. Ultra-thin charge-pump modules reach around 72 W at close to 97% peak efficiency in only 2.1 mm height to convert 48 V to a 12 V intermediate bus in datacenters and 5G infrastructure. In robotics, dedicated converters, motor-drive rails and gate-drive supplies are tuned for fast transients and thermal limits inside collaborative and humanoid robot platforms on the factory floor.
A key highlight is Murata’s focus on data center and GPU power delivery. The interview shows 3×5″ 600 W AC-DC units, larger AC-DC platforms with around 95% efficiency, and a 2 kW GPU power concept that uses dual 1 kW non-isolated converters and high-current point-of-load stages to bring 48 V down to around 1 V rails. This two-stage approach mirrors the industry move to 48 V racks with intermediate bus and local high-current regulators for accelerators, storage and networking equipment.
The conversation closes by zooming out to Murata’s wider catalog, from MLCCs and high-voltage resistors for medical and industrial equipment to RFID, wireless connectivity and sensor lines shipping at scale. Viewers get a compact overview of how Murata’s passive components, sensing devices and power modules interlock – from predictive maintenance at the edge to high-density power shelves in the data center – offering a coherent toolbox for modern industrial and compute power workflow.
