Edge Device
Input/Output processing devices for "Visualization"
Konica Minolta has been developing image processing technologies as its core technology used in copiers, cameras, and healthcare instruments, and is now developing unique device implementation technology for collecting high-quality image data from workplaces.
Edge Device is a set of input/output and data processing devices that visualize data of workplaces to create value. The set of partner devices are ready for use, having been verified for connection and interoperation with Konica Minolta and FORXAI.
Edge Device
Behavior analysis sensor of HitomeQ Care Support
The sensor, consisting of a near-infrared camera and a Doppler sensor, monitors nursing home residents from the ceiling to recognize their behaviors and send notification to staff's smartphones.
IQ-501 (automatic quality optimization unit)
IQ-501, consisting of two scanners and a spectral photometer, is used in printing scenes to perform operations automatically, such as high-accuracy color gradation calibration and front/back registering adjust
Edge AI camera MOBOTIX 7
The edge processing of the camera recognizes the type, position, and moving direction of an object. Audio announcement and connection with other devices are possible without a server.
※Edge Device refers to devices that uses an Imaging AI function or is connected to IoT Platform.
Other devices enabled by Konica Minolta's proprietary technologies are listed in "Edge devices of Konica Minolta" below.
Edge devices of Konica Minolta
3D LiDAR
This device uses 3D laser scanning technology to seamlessly scan the ambient space to accurately detect intruders and their positions mitigating the effect of darkness and backlight.
Non-breaking infrastructure inspection solution
This solution uses magnetism sensing and IoT data analysis to ensure the future of an infrastructural structure by detecting the breakage of concrete reinforcement steel on a real-time basis without breaking the structure.
X-ray Talbot-Lau imaging device
The X-ray Talbot-Lau imaging device captures in an image the absorption, refraction, and scattering of an x-ray to visualizes the internal structure that was invisible by traditional x-ray instruments. With this device, fiber directions and flows of fiber reinforced plastics in an object can be captured for a large area and in a short time.
Measurement instruments that measure color and brightness of light
Globally standard high accuracy is realized in measurement instruments that have been used in the scenes of research and development, manufacturing, and quality control of many industries. These light measurement instruments (illuminance meters, hue/luminance meters, display/lighting evaluation instruments, etc.) measure the color, brightness, and properties of light sources such as displays, organic EL, and LED.
Measurement instruments that measure colors of things
Measurement instruments (spectrophotometric colorimeter, color difference meter, color reader, etc.) that quantify the color of solid, powder, and liquid objects enable high-quality control of subtle differences of colors, which cannot be recognized by human vision and experience, with global standard quantification.
