Including car lighting, robot guidance, UVC purification technologies, and smart watch to capture vital signs.

Optical solutions developer ams Osram has this week showcased its latest sensing and lighting solutions at the electronica expo in Munich, Germany.

Alongside the fair, at the electronica Automotive Conference, the company will also explain how smart lighting and optical sensing are shaping tomorrow’s concept of mobility, and at the Smart MedTech Forum, the company will discuss how optical solutions are shaping major transformations in the healthcare industry.

Pierre Laboisse, EVP for Global Sales and Marketing at ams Osram, said, “electronica provides an ideal opportunity for everyone to experience our latest miniaturized solutions for sensing, illumination and visualization which offer outstanding performance and efficiency.”

Highlights

• Automotive and mobility Dynamic Forward Lighting; with more than 25,000 individually controllable pixels, Eviyos will bring HD-quality projections onto the road without glare while enabling the projection of approved warning signs.
• In-cabin 3D driver monitoring system based on advanced infrared emitters and image sensors, and incorporating Smart Eye software for detecting phenomena such as driver distraction or drowsiness.
• Interior lighting – the OSIRE E5515 LED – side-looking automotive RGB LEDs in thin, smart structures using an innovative in-mold process and validated for use in IMSE technology from TactoTek.
• Exterior lighting – a full-width rear lamp system which is just 5mm deep, based on SYNIOS® P1515 side-looker LEDs.
• Industry Optical technologies for next-generation robotics; ranging and localization technologies include the new TMF882x direct time-of-flight sensors, an active stereo vision 3D mapping demonstration in collaboration with partner Teknique, and a structured lighting system using ams OSRAM dot pattern illuminators.
• UV-C air- and water treatment demonstrators combine robust and efficient UV-C LED emitters with the new AS7331 3-channel spectral UV-A/-B/-C sensor, so systems can accurately monitor UV-C dosage and detect the bioluminescence of bacteria.
• Smoke detector based on the AS7343 spectral sensor which can distinguish the smoke generated by different types of fire.
• Horticulture Flexible and efficient designs for top-/ inter-lighting and vertical farming solutions for greenhouses.
• Optimum crop yield through tunable light - possible with our efficient horticulture LEDs OSLON Square and OSLON Optimal - presented with the example of vertical farming.
• Closed-loop optimization of horticultural lighting with a combination of award-winning OSLON Square LED with Batwing lens and the AS7343 14-channel spectral sensor.
• Mobile, wearables and vital signs Demonstration of a reference design of a smart watch that can accurately measure vital signs such as heart rate, ECG and blood pressure 24/7.
• Latest behind-OLED ambient light and proximity sensing.
• Smart glasses based on the Vegalas miniature laser infrared projection system.

New partner network launched

ams Osram has this week also announced the launch of its new Global Partner Network of design consultancies, module suppliers and supporting component manufacturers to accelerate customers’ time to market and facilitate new business opportunities, while taking advantage of the latest optical and sensor technologies.

Partners are selected based on their technical expertise, solution offering and track record of working with customers to co-create new products. The Global Partner Network encompasses the hardware, software, tools, services and know-how required to quickly capitalize on today’s megatrends without huge investment.

Pierre Laboisse, Executive VP Global Sales and Marketing, commented, “The Global Partner Network Program will deliver more customer value. It will enhance our relationship with our partner ecosystem and provide our joint customers with a comprehensive and global pool of expertise and solutions. We are ensuring that any customer can take advantage of our technologies, no matter how much design experience or resources it has internally.”

The new ams Osram Partner Network includes different type of partners so that interested customers are put in position to procure the appropriate solution or service, including: module and solutions providers; independent design houses; manufacturers of complementary offerings; and manufacturers of recommended components.

The partner network already includes more than 40 partners offering advanced lighting and sensing solutions for automotive, industrial, consumer and medical applications.
