Scope of the Report:
Recent Developments:
- November 2023: Some argue that when it comes to biometric sensors, the bigger they are, the better. According to Touch Biometrix, this might be true as it claims to have constructed the thinnest capacitive fingerprint sensor in the world, which is also said to be the largest. TCAP60 is a sensor based on thin-film transistor (TFT) technology and measures 3.2 by 3 inches, thereby fulfilling the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) FAP60 criteria. To capture four flat fingers and rolled fingers simultaneously, scanners with FAP 50 and 60 can be used. This UK-headquartered startup has been targeting enterprise and government application markets after an undisclosed Deepbridge Capital Technology Growth Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) fund Series B funding round was secured by it.
- November 2023: IKEA introduced three new affordable smart sensors for water leakage detection and motion detection – VALLHORN, PARASOLL, and BADRING. These sensors were created with the aim of giving customers more control over their homes even when they are not around so that they can have peace of mind wherever they are at all times. The company hopes that products like PARASOLL, VALLHORN & BADRING Smart Sensors, among others, within this category of its offering under the IKEA Home smart range will enable individuals to manage their houses from any part of the world. Real-time alerts are sent out whenever activity is detected; hence, users remain connected with their houses whether they are there or not, thus being able to take necessary action where the need arises.
- March 2023: This ensures that tanks can be refilled on time without any process interruption and makes chemical inventory management straightforward. Besides that, the Dulconnex cloud platform now has a specific Inventory Management module. Operators in the water and wastewater technology sector disinfected service provider chemical distribution companies and can now access complete digital fluid management systems from a single source. All these devices require ranging sensors through metering control technology that are well coordinated and easily connected within a short period of time.
