ams has congratulated Jennifer Zhao, who was awarded ‘Woman of the Year’ at Questex’s Sensors Innovation Week 2020. Jennifer is the Executive Vice President and General Manager of ams’ Advanced Optical Sensors Division, and received the award on November 14th, 2020 at the Questex ‘Best Of Sensors’.

ams has sold its MEMS microphone interface design assets to its customer Knowles Corporation, a supplier of advanced micro-acoustic, audio processing, and precision device solutions. The deal confirms ams’s strategy to focus on sensor solutions.

ams has introduced an inductive position sensor for high-speed, automotive and industrial electric motors to be available as a standard product on the open market. New rotor position sensing solutions based on the AS5715 can match the accuracy and latency of resolvers widely used in high-speed motor applications, while providing substantial savings in bill-of-materials cost, size and weight.

ams has announced the successful completion of the Highly Integrated Optical Sensors Project. The €4.3 million HIOS project aims to enable ams and its consortium partners, the process and equipment suppliers APC, Boschman and Bühler Leybold Optics, to stay at the forefront of sensor integration and drive competitiveness in their respective markets. 

ams has introduced a new ASV technology product portfolio which enables manufacturers of consumer, computing and industrial products to implement face recognition and other 3D sensing applications more easily and at lower cost.

ams has introduced the AS621x-generation of temperature sensors delivering performance across a broad range of products, including a wide range of consumer electronic devices and wearables, health-related monitoring systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. 

ams has introduced a sensor solution that enables smartphone world-facing cameras with rolling shutter image sensors to eliminate unwanted image artefacts - such as banding - that are caused by the flickering of artificial light sources. With the wide-spread usage of LED lighting, photography increasingly suffers from what is known as flicker from the lighting source.

ams has launched a tiny digital proximity sensor module. The ultra-small package of the TMD2635 occupies just one millimetre cubed of volume and enables audio manufacturers of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbud products to develop smaller, lighter industrial design earbuds.

ams has released a tiny integrated module for direct time-of-flight (ToF) distance measurement providing accurate measurements from two centimetres up to 2.5m. The TMF8801 is more than 30% smaller than competing ToF sensors, making it perfect for compact space constrained designs, yet offers superior performance in important parameters including accuracy and usability in the presence of sunlight.

ams has launched what they claim to be the world’s smallest digital proximity sensor module. The ultra-small package of the TMD2635 occupies just 1mm3 of volume and enables audio manufacturers of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbud products to develop smaller, lighter industrial design earbuds. 

ams has signed a formal letter of intent to collaborate in the field of Image Sensors with SmartSens Technology, a global supplier of high-performance CMOS image sensors. This collaboration complements ams’ strategic approach to further broaden its portfolio for all three 3D technologies while accelerating time to market for a more differentiated set of new products. 

Ams and Qingdao iESLab Electronic, and Jiangxi Water Group have announced plans to extend their China Water Utilities’ Platform, an alliance to promote the benefits of ultrasonic water metering and NB-IoT technologies based on Ali Cloud. With the launch of the new Jiangxi Water Utility’s Technical Lab in Nanchang, the partners will further support China utilities companies with leading-edge demonstrations of the ‘big data divide...

  ams has announced it was awarded two highly coveted awards at Sensors Expo: the Best of Sensors Expo Innovation Award for its TMF8701 true direct Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor system and the Design and Engineering Team of the Year. The awards highlight advances in sensor innovations and excellence among engineers.

  ams and artificial intelligence pioneer, MEGVII has announced that they have signed a partnership agreement to jointly develop and promote complete, plug-and-play 3D face recognition solutions for any type of smart consumer or commercial device.

  ams has recently unveiled new digital noise cancellation technology that will transform the experience of hearing music, having voice calls - and even the world around us - when wearing new, more comfortable true wireless earbuds.

Last week, ams, welcomed the members of both the Austrian national squads participating in this year’s Homeless World Cup tournament in Cardiff to its headquarters. As part of its sponsorship of the teams, via Caritas Styria, the visit to ams headquarters included a factory tour and a program of personal development and fun activities designed to help improve the future life and work opportunities of the players.

Supplier of high performance sensor solutions, ams, will showcase innovative optical sensing technologies which are transforming personal health monitoring, the mobile phone, automotive evolution, and smart agriculture at the Sensors Expo 2019 (25th to 27th June, San Jose, CA). The company will also lead two Sensors Expo conference sessions.

Supplier of sensor solutions, ams, is extending its support of Caritas Austria to sponsor both the Austrian national squads that will participate in the 17th Homeless World Cup in Cardiff, July 27th to August 3rd, 2019. In addition to financial support, the company will host the squad members for a program of personal development and work-related activities designed to help improve their life and work opportunities after the tournament.

ams has announced that it has signed an agreement to team with Ibeo Automotive Systems, the German specialist for automotive LiDAR sensor technology, and ZF Friedrichshafen, one of the largest technology companies for mobility worldwide to advance solid-state LiDAR technology for use in autonomous driving and other applications. The three companies will partner on joint R&D efforts to ensure that this technology can be quickly and safely adop...
