Movement Sensors
Manufacturer: NiCeRa (Nippon Ceramic Co.,Ltd
Thermopile, a thermal infrared sensor that generates a thermoelectromotive force that depends on the incident energy when it receives infrared radiation emitted from an object and can detect the absolute amount of energy (temperature). It is suitable to detect absolute temperature value of the object.

Smart Bug
- All-in-one multi-sensor wireless solution with the ICM-45686-S BalancedGyro™ IMU platform
- Machine learning-capable – for creating, testing and deploying ML models on the IMU
- SmartBug 2.0 is an intelligent remote data acquisition module for IoT, developed following the success of the original SmartBug.
An important aspect of SmartBug 2.0 is the ICM-45686-S, TDK's latest BalancedGyro™ IMU and the world's most energy-efficient IMU (220 µA @ 50 Hz 6-axis). BalancedGyro™ technology enables developers to capture high-quality IMU data over a longer period of time due to 3x battery life. The new IMU SmartBug 2.0 is useful for products such as AR glasses, VR, OIS, drones, MR, TWS and robotics for prototyping, data collection and the development of machine learning-based algorithms.

3D-ToF-Sensors
The ToF-based camera CS20 offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and is suitable for short-range measurements up to 3.75 m. It supports both depth and infrared images and is equipped with a Type-C port. The detection range extends from 0.1 m to 5 m, making it ideal for robots and industrial applications. At Endrich, you can find the CS20, CS30, and CS40 series for precise 3D detection and measurement in real time. Their robust design and support for industrial communication protocols make them integrable into complex industrial systems. Thanks to the embedded processors, these devices can also be used without additional computing power, reducing system requirements and enabling fast data processing.
The products of the CS series are used in obstacle avoidance for robots, volume measurement, industrial safety, vehicle assistance systems, and 3D modeling. They can be applied in areas such as logistics, robotics, industrial automation, and intelligent transport systems. In particular, the CS40/CS40-Pro is ideal for outdoor applications such as unmanned vehicles or site vehicles.
Environmental /Gas-Sensors
ENS16x (Automotive-Grade ENS17xA) is a range of digital multi-gas metal oxide (MOX) sensors, specifically designed for indoor air quality monitoring, offering an unrivaled wealth of fully-processed outputs including low-power operating modes.
With its innovative TrueVOC® technology the ENS16x combines detection of a wide range of gases including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxidizing gases with intelligent on-chip algorithms. It calculates a series of fully processed outputs such as CO2-equivalents, TVOC-equivalents, a 5-step Air Quality Index (AQI) according to the UBA (German Environmental Agency) and a 500-step relative AQI according to ScioSense. The major advantage of eCO2 over pure CO2 measurements is its ability to capture odors and bio-effluents that are completely invisible to CO2 sensors. The plug and play demokit
