Vivacity Labs AI traffic signal control is to be trialled at some of the busiest junctions in Cambridge to help cut congestion and improve air quality. The 12-month trial will investigate how camera-based sensors and machine learning can be used to optimise traffic signals to improve traffic flow, reduce journey times and help tackle air pollution.

InnovationLab has announced a partnership with Evonik. This partnership will enable the first fully printed, flexible, rechargeable, solid-state, batteries for integration in printed sensor systems. Combining the benefits of TAeTTOOz, printable battery materials from Evonik, and InnovationLab’s field-proven capability for high-speed printed electronics, the two companies are opening new application areas to ultra-thin pr...

Infrared sensors that measure temperature by detecting the infrared radiation of objects are already widely used. Now demand has grown for infrared sensors that can offer higher pixel and thermal resolution.

RS Components has expanded its industrial control portfolio with a range of IIoT-enabled technologies from SICK.

NevadaNano has announced that Crowcon Detection Instruments has selected its Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS) sensor for its Xgard Bright fixed gas detector. As one of the world’s first fixed detectors with MPS, Xgard Bright is expected to set new standards in gas detection and safety, while driving down the total cost of ownership.

NevadaNano has announced an alliance with GasLab to distribute the company’s Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS) sensors to its diverse customer base including companies in the industrial, chemical, and refrigerant markets.

NevadaNano has announced it expanded its Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS) Refrigerant Product Family with gas sensors for A1, A2L, and A3 refrigerants.

Alps Alpine has expanded its SPVQ8 Series lineup of compact switches for use in detecting the opening and closing of vehicle doors and has newly introduced the SPVQ8H Series. Alps Alpine’s popular SPVQ8 Series of compact detector switches are small and available in extensive variety.

TT Electronics has announced its new OPB735 series Reflective Object Sensors for the most challenging industrial automation and safety applications. This reflective sensor features hermetically sealed components offering designers a wide operating temperature range of -55 to +100°C to suit almost any factory setting.

XIMEA has announced new camera models with Sony CMOS Pregius S sensors. The initial line up will start with camera models based on IMX540, IMX541, IMX542 and continue with other sensors from the Sony 4th Generation Pregius S family. The next evolution of Sony CMOS sensors have a small pixel size in combination with BSI - backside illumination technology.
