Analog Meter Monitoring System

Retrofittable to existing analog meters already installed in maintenance or other building facilities, this system uses a magnetic sensor to measure the movements of meter pointers, enabling remote monitoring of meter readings.
Removing the need for fixed-point observation work allows remote meter monitoring and administration. The system also offers better energy and space efficiency and environmental resistance than camera-based systems and is easily retrofitted to existing equipment. Less of a burden on workers and fewer reading and transcription errors support efforts to improve operational efficiency while creating accurate records.

5G Communication Device

We introduce an Alps Alpine 5G Communication Device incorporating RF expertise accumulated through product development in the automotive domain. Demonstrating robustness with a long life and resistance to heat, humidity and vibrations to enable stable connectivity even in the tough operating environments envisaged as use cases for local 5G, such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and smart factories and cities, the 5G Communication Device will contribute to communication environments around buildings and other communal areas.

GNSS Tracker

For application to management of commercial or other vehicle fleets, this device wirelessly transmits position information obtained using multiple GNSS*, such as GPS and Galileo, to a cloud server. A problem with similar devices already on the market has been the inability to provide a broad supply at an affordable price. The GNSS Tracker is offered as a low-cost alternative to existing products, doing away with display functions and instead specializing in ascertaining position information. Key features are a structure allowing easy retrofitting simply by connecting to a power supply; built-in dead reckoning for ascertaining a position even in environments where a satellite signal is unavailable, like in a tunnel or underground; and use of an original algorithm for uploading only the bare minimum data, helping to reduce communication charges.

CO₂ Sensor Module

This new CO₂ Sensor Module employs photoacoustic technology and is resistant to heat stress. It incorporates PASens® technology for high accuracy while realizing compact dimensions. Battery and energy-saving drive settings are available. Use is foreseen in a wide range of applications, including air conditioning control in communal spaces.

AirInput™

Developed on the back of Alps Alpine's expertise with capacitive technology, AirInput™ supports both contact and non-contact input with a single sensor. Combined with an intuitive user interface, constant tracking of fingers in space as they operate a device enables smooth non-contact input and control without input errors. Retaining the same outward design attributes as conventional touch panels for ease of input, AirInput™ attends to input needs by supporting hygiene considerations in places where controls, such as elevator buttons, are used by any number of people and addressing scenarios where a touch panel fails to respond, for example because the user is wearing gloves.
