On March 12, 2026, the Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE 2026) officially opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Under the theme “Smart AI, Smarter Future,” this year’s event brings together over 1,500 exhibitors from more than 70 countries and regions.
SensorMicro made a prominent appearance at Booth W4-4B10, showcasing its core infrared sensing components and innovative solutions. Backed by strong technical expertise, the company attracted significant attention across the industry.
As AI continues to accelerate the evolution of smart homes, the perception layer is becoming a key bottleneck in enhancing user experience. Traditional cameras often raise privacy concerns, whereas infrared thermal imaging, which detects heat rather than visual identity, naturally avoids image-based privacy risks.
At the same time, it enables:
Precise non-contact temperature measurement
Spatial thermal field analysis
Reliable human presence detection
Built on extensive technological expertise, the ApexCore series uncooled infrared detector introduces four core advantages:
Lower noise
Enhanced structural robustness
Simplified packaging design
Higher product consistency
With a groundbreaking sNETD as low as 15mK, ApexCore achieves exceptional thermal sensitivity and temperature resolution. It can detect even the most subtle thermal variations, delivering sharper thermal images and more responsive environmental perception.
This provides a high-precision and highly stable sensing foundation for next-generation smart devices.
Developed based on the proprietary TIMO212 platform, the Mini212G2 integrates an infrared ISP processing board and directly outputs both thermal images and temperature data.
Key features:
Compact size: 17 × 17mm
Lightweight: only 4g
Low power consumption: 330mW
Standard control interfaces for easy integration
This highly integrated design significantly reduces secondary development costs and enables seamless embedding into various smart home devices.
Designed specifically for mobile scenarios, these modules support:
Resolutions: 256 × 192 / 120 × 90
Plug-and-play operation with dedicated applications
Direct output of thermal images and temperature data without calibration
With their compact size, low power consumption, and cost efficiency, these modules bring professional-grade infrared sensing to smartphones, tablets, and portable devices—expanding possibilities in health monitoring and home security.
Built on a 640×512/12μm ceramic packaging architecture, the iSE612 eliminates the need for shutter calibration, fundamentally removing image freezing and noise interference.
Key capabilities:
Smooth, clear, and detailed thermal imaging
Support for super-resolution algorithms
Picture-in-picture (PiP) functionality
Customizable on-screen display (OSD)
Its lightweight design, combined with multiple video interfaces and flexible lens options, makes it ideal for smart security, service robotics, and high-end home appliances, delivering a high-performance thermal imaging integration solution.
SensorMicro has already established partnerships with leading smart appliance manufacturers, offering end-to-end capabilities from detector chips to complete system integration. The company also supports deep co-development with partners to accelerate product commercialization.
Unlike visible-light imaging, infrared thermal imaging senses only heat, enabling:
Non-contact temperature measurement
Spatial thermal field analysis
Physical-level privacy protection
This makes it a critical technology for balancing precision sensing and data security in smart home environments.
By detecting human position, perceived temperature, and activity levels in real time, infrared sensing enables adaptive control of airflow direction, speed, and temperature—reducing energy waste and avoiding direct cold airflow for improved comfort.
Thermal imaging enables full-surface temperature monitoring of ingredients, ensuring even heating. Visualized heat distribution supports precise cooking control, while real-time high-temperature alerts enhance safety.
Supports human detection, intrusion alerts, elderly fall detection, and child sleep monitoring. With non-contact sensing and no visual imaging, it ensures both security and privacy protection.
Infrared sensing enables human presence recognition and environmental thermal awareness, supporting precise positioning and target tracking even in complete darkness. With local data processing, privacy remains fully protected while enabling reliable 24/7 operation of service robots.
Infrared thermal imaging brings “thermal vision” to home appliances—enabling devices to evolve from simple sensing to true understanding and intelligent decision-making.
Looking ahead, SensorMicro will continue to focus on full-scenario smart home applications, working closely with industry partners to accelerate the large-scale adoption of infrared sensing technologies and help build a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable smart living ecosystem.
