Heimann Sensor's non-contact sensors for remote temperature measurements are used for the monitoring of tires of racing motorcycles and racing cars. We thank our customer and partner Nigtecnologias, located in Argentina, for this great cooperation. ( https://www.instagram.com/nigtecnologiasoficial/ ) The information about the actual temperature is important to control grip and degradation of the race tires. Our integrated sensor features a fast response with high accuracy. If you are interested in further information, have a look at our Thermopile Modules (HIM Series) .

The entire Heimann Sensor Team wishes you a joyeus Christmas season and wants to thank you for your partnership with this funny infrared array movie.

Heimann Sensor is happy to participate in the 24th China International Optoelectronic Exhibition which takes place 6-8 September 2023 in Shenzhen Bao'an International and Exhibition Center. We would be glad to get in contact with you at our Heimann Sensor Booth No 8C93 - in cooperation with Shenzhen Longxiang Technology Co, Ltd.

Heimann Sensor now offers a brandnew thermopile array HTPA32x32d with the lens 1.7 which enables a ultrawide field of view of up to 120x120 degrees.

The research project FLEMING, funded with 3.3 million Euro by the German Federal BMWK Ministry (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz) has now come to a successful completion. The project developed flexible monitoring and automated control systems for the energy and mobility transition the society will face in the next couple of years. The project, which began in 2019, investigated how improved sensor technology in combination with AI can help to improve the reliability and resilience of power distribution grids. As such, it provides an important puzzle piece to further extend the needed infrastructure for future mobility. There is a need for a good prediction and monitoring of the actual temperatures within the switching components of the distribution grid. This requirement is mainly caused by the rapid increase of the numbers of electric cars, which are predominantly recharged in the after-work hours. The temperature monitoring can easily be realized by using low-cost infrared cameras, covering a large area within the switching gear. Infrared cameras are able to provide many more measuring points than any contact measurement method. Additionally, the collected information can be used to discover faulty areas within the switchgear and therefore help to predict failures. Heimann Sensor participated in this project and developed long-term stable thermopile arrays with lifetimes exceeding those of the components used in the power distribution grid. Heimann Sensor improved the lifetime of these sensors by a factor of five, using a new sealing technique. The achieved lifetimes are between approximate 30 to 50 years. The prototypes developed in this project have an adapted field of view, which fits best to the interior of the switching gear. They provide 32x32 single measurement spots (pixels) which all provide radiometric data. Additionally, Heimann sensor developed methods to detect and compensate for possible contamination and dirt. The thermopile array consumes merely <20mW at 10 FPS, with an idle mode provided for even lower power consumption. Communication with the sensor is via a sophisticated I²C interface. The sensor itself comes directly with calibration data stored on the internal EEPROM of the device. This makes integration in embedded systems or edge computing solutions fast and straightforward.

An increasing number of people in need for care are dependent on one of the Ambient Assisted Living (short AAL) tools available on the market. The reason is their wish for independency and security while living in a single household. Simultaneously, the protection of their personal data has become more relevant. We can provide the necessary high-quality thermopile arrays for your AAL systems that enable continued independence while securing data protection. For example, our infrared thermopile array HTPA 32x32d, integrated into your warning system, can detect the falling person and ensure fast medical aid. Moreover, the HTPA 32x32 L2.1 or L2.5 provide the sufficient resolution and adequate field of view, while the identification of the person remains impossible. If you would like to get in contact with us for further information and discuss about the possible collaboration, don’t hesitate to call us at +49 6123 605030 or contact us through email: sales@heimannsensor.com .
