LiDAR sensor enables 3D detection of distances
A 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor equipment that measures distance between the equipment and the object from the round-trip travelling time of the pulse laser that is projected to the object has been developed by Panasonic. The sensor accurately measures the direction of and distance to objects with a wide angle of view, which is critical for autonomous operation of mobile robots.
Nanocomposite electrolyte designed for next-gen battery use
At the Imec Technology Forum Japan, imec and Panasonic, announced that they have developed a solid nanocomposite electrolyte for next-gen batteries with a lithium ion conductivity several times greater than its liquid equivalent. The ion conductivity already reaches several mS/cm at room temperature.
Next-gen Bluetooth module enables advanced wireless connectivity
Featuring what the company claims to be the industry's lowest power Bluetooth Low Energy SoC, the next-gen Bluetooth module from Panasonic has been introduced. The PAN1760A module benefits from a peak power consumption of only 3.3mA in Tx and Rx mode, enabling advanced wireless functionalities in IoT, medical, and industrial applications without compromising battery life. Mandatory and optional Bluetooth 4.2 features are supported.

To bring the company’s engineering competence closer to customers in Europe, Panasonic Industry Europe has announced that the company has created leaner processes and unified business divisions to provide high quality capabilities and efficient technical solutions across a broad portfolio of products and services.
Putting sustainability at the heart of UK design
Did you know that 99% of the materials we use to make the things we buy are thrown away within six months?Over the last 60 years we have done away with the values of thrift and re-use that our grandparents lived by and designed ourselves a linear economy where we take things from the ground, ship it to where we want it to be, sell it and then bin it. Guest piece written byTerry O’Reilly, Manager,NT CADCAM.
Seeing the light
Steve Rogerson discusses whether LIDAR can continue its journey to become a sensor technology of choice for autonomous vehicles.LIDAR is not new. The light equivalent to RADAR uses pulsed laser beams and measures their reflections to determine the distance of objects, and it has been around since the 1960s. It was originally used for gathering information about clouds and shot to fame in 1971 when the Apollo 15 mission used it to map the surface ...
Sensor-equipped storage on display at productronica 2017
At productronica 2017, scheduled to take place 14th to 17th November 2017 at the Messe München in Germany, Inovaxe will be exhibiting. Panasonic will showcase the SMART InoAuto IA700-S-C Storage System in hall A3, stand 177. All of the Inovaxe SMART systems are equipped with sensors and LED indicator lights, along with the InoAuto Locator software, and respond as if the reels have RFID on them.
Hungary’s largest ever projection mapping presentation
Earlier this year, the 17th FINA World Championships took place in Budapest. The event welcomed nearly 2,500 sportsmen and sports women and 350,000 visitors, making it the biggest sporting event in Hungary’s history. The opening ceremony also saw Hungary’s largest-ever presentation using projection mapping – which was created by Ferenc Varga of Visualpower kft usingCAST Software’s wysiwyg lighting design and previsualisati...
