Dear Armando Guglielmetti, Welcome to the ams monthly newsletter. Read further to learn about our newest technologies, get the latest product or event news, and register for valuable training and online events. This month we focus on how ams sensors solutions such as 3D technology, position sensors, and image solutions for X-ray and machine vision are shaping the industrial market and applications.
ams is at the forefront of industrial 3D sensing  3D sensing is a global megatrend that is growing rapidly and gaining traction in new and exciting applications. We are taking our cutting-edge 3D sensing solutions and expertise, first developed in consumer applications such as mobile, and rethinking them to meet needs in computing, automotive, robotics, as well as access control and payment application areas. ams designs and manufactures high-performance illumination and imaging solutions that are pushing the evolution of future 3D sensing applications at an unprecedented level – in all three 3D technologies: structured light, time-of-flight, and active stereo vision. Sensors from ams have a small form factor, achieve outstanding performance, are optimized for precision and accuracy, and are tuned for the highest energy efficiency. Due to pioneering expertise in the mobile phone space, ams’ 3D face recognition biometry engine solutions are based on mature and optimized algorithms, are eye safe and enable a wide range of personalized smart applications – from secure and touchless 3D authentication at payment at kiosks and in building access. ams sensors also power applications like 3D object scanning and drive innovation in various usage cases. This powers the essential applications that will optimize industrial automation, such as quality checks on a high-speed production line, or sensing volume measurements in automated storage and retrieval systems in the logistics warehouse. ams 3D technology is also used to enhance camera applications through reliable distance measurement for scene detection and multi object detection and avoidance, background blur, touch to focus with fastest autofocus response time – even in low-light conditions. From augmented reality to smart homes, 3D object scanning can be used in autonomous lawn mowers or autonomous cleaning robots in smart buildings to keep surfaces hygienic, for example supporting staff in hospitals or care homes.
We are constantly introducing new cutting-edge sensor solutions that open new possibilities in the evolution of next generation 3D sensing applications to define future megatrends. Contact ams to design 3D technology in your computing, automotive, robotics, or payment applications. |
