How can sensing be distributed in a smart building?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Masakazu Shiinoki, a field application engineer from the MEMS Sensor Business Unit of Omron shows how different microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensing technologies can be used in a building. The three (ground, first and second) floors use barometric (absolute pressure), airflow and differential pressure sensors. In addition, the first floor has an […]
What’s new in robotic sensing?
At 2018 Sensors Expo in San Jose, CA, Jacob Hicks, an Applications Development Manager from Omron Electronic Components, discusses including sensors in the Omron LD autonomous robot. The robot is linked to sensor technologies from Omron including cross-referenced Raspberry Pi based cameras to provide locations and status information, similar to what might be required in […]
How can you detect seismic waves?
At Sensor Expo 2017, Jacob Hicks, the assistant product manager for Omron Electronic Components’ Sensors unit shows the capabilities of the D7S, a vibration sensor that can detect seismic waves, and Itron’s Riva development board for wireless communications. Partnering with Itron, Omron’s D7S sits on top of Itron’s Riva board. The D7S contains an ASIC, […]
