Fujitsu Laboratories has succeeded in the real-time detection of early signs of storm sewer system overflows during torrential downpours, thereby obtaining data for effective analyses. The data was collected in a sensing system field trial initiated in July 2015 with the City of Koriyama in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture.

Fujitsu's prototype beacon has obtained the world's first ucode tag certification for a beacon from the TRON Forum. This beacon, which is more easily mass produced, will now be capable of globally unique ID transmission, for more reliable location information services. Since this certification complies with international standards, it can be linked with all types of map data that form the foundation for delivering services.

Following Fujitsu’s introduction of the motherboards of the Classic Desktop and Extended Lifecycle series with the latest generation of Intel Core processors, the company is now presenting models specifically for industrial use. The D3445-S and D3446-S are designed for continuous operation in an extended temperature range from 0° to 60°C and have a guaranteed availability of five years. 

  Fujitsu Laboratories is developing a technology that can turns biometric data, such as palm veins, into a cryptographic key, enhancing the security of the encryption method and protecting confidential data such as IDs and passwords.

Canon and Fujitsu are collaborating to jointly develop imaging solutions utilising network cameras. By combining Canon's image quality enhancing technology and video content analysis technology with Fujitsu's services platforms, the two companies aim to provide a variety of solutions employing network cameras.

For semi-industrial use Fujitsu provides the mainboard D3402-B and D3417-B of the extended lifecycle series. These models support the 6th generation Intel Core processors. Like the mainboards of the classic desktop series they also allow the use of DDR4 memory, which is characterised by a significant increase in performance. The 100er series of Intel chipsets enables the use of more powerful CPUs with a simultaneous reduction of power consumption...

Fujitsu has announced the µATX boards of the Classic Desktop series and two boards with longer availability. All boards are equipped with the 100 series chipset from Intel, which supports the 6th Generation Intel Core processors. For the first time they support DDR4 memory. This brings a significant increase in performance. The Intel chipsets enable the use of the new generation’s more powerful CPUs while reducing power consumption.
