FRAMOS is expanding its sensor module ecosystem with Sony CMOS sensors. With high sensitivity, resolution, and processing speeds, the new sensors are suitable for surveillance and inspection tasks in light-critical conditions as well as factory automation applications.

Renesas Electronics has announced that Casio Computer has adopted a Renesas ultra-low power consumption RE Family controller as the main controller of the new Casio G-SHOCK watch GBD-H1000 with heart rate monitor and GPS functionality, unveiled on 26th February, 2020.

TE Connectivity, a supplier of connectivity and sensors has announced its integration with Analog Devices (ADI) MeasureWare.

Biometrics company, Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints) has announced the expansion of its Biometric Software Platform (FPC-BEP) for access control solutions. Fingerprints has tailored its successful payments software platform to support access control device makers, card manufacturers and system integrators in adding biometric authentication to their logical and physical access implementations.

Eyeware, the Swiss-based 3D eye-tracking technology company on a mission to bring attention-sensing solutions to multiple industries, and Melexis, the Belgium-based global supplier of micro-electronic semiconductor solutions, have joined forces to create a sensor-based solution for advanced Driver Monitoring System (DMS).

The BML absolute magnetic encoder in the SGA series stands out in any application where high absolute accuracy of position and end-of-travel is required. Comprehensive diagnostics functions ensure reliable operation and more efficient maintenance.

With a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015 with over 8,400 backers and $1.9m raised, the Kokoon headphones use the same technology currently being used in sleep labs to sense brainwaves combined with three layers of noise cancelling, including white noise, and an app that tracks sleep cycles.

STMicroelectronics is extending the benefits of its motion-detection machine-learning core (MLC) technologies into industrial and high-end consumer applications with the latest ISM330DHCX and LSM6DSRX six-axis iNEMO inertial measurement units (IMU).

Employee discomfort, ill health and reduced performance can be linked to a poor-quality office environment. Good quality lighting can already help to increase employee productivity up to 23%. Apart from lighting, there are other environmental elements that impact employee health and wellbeing that the new IoT sensor bundle can help to solve.

Vision Components adapts its wide range of machine vision image sensors on MIPI camera modules and integrates non-native MIPI sensors such as Sony Pregius IMX250 and IMX252. The portfolio currently comprises ten sensors with resolutions up to 20 MP and is being continuously expanded. It includes global shutter, rolling shutter, and global reset shutter versions.
