Innovative Features of the Thermal Sensor

The collaboration leverages Himax’s WiseEye2 AI processor and HM0360 CMOS image sensor with Calumino’s proprietary CMOS and MOMS technologies. The sensor promises tenfold higher sensitivity compared to conventional thermopile sensors while maintaining a compact design and low energy consumption. Additional features include AI-powered functionalities, privacy-focused imaging, and ultra-low power operation.

Diverse Applications Across Industries

The thermal sensor is designed for applications in various sectors. These include people detection in smart environments, health monitoring, security systems, predictive maintenance in industrial setups, and energy-efficient solutions for commercial spaces. A case study highlighted its ability to reduce energy consumption by significant margins in real estate.

Launch and Market Expansion

The product is slated for a late 2025 release. By employing scalable manufacturing and affordable pricing strategies, the companies aim to democratize access to thermal imaging technology across consumer, commercial, and industrial markets globally.
