Experienceable Innovations
Asahi Kasei’s concept of growing continuously together with our customers is described along with the evolution of the AKXY™ concept car series that symbolizes our passion for the automotive sector. AKXY POD is the amalgamation of countless Asahi Kasei textiles, resins, sensors, and other proprietary technologies into a pod where visitors can experience the future automotive interior space with all senses.
- Other automotive interior technologies presented separately
Asahi Kasei Microdevices will be featuring a number of other technologies that will redefine automobiles of the future, like their hands-free digital sound processor, AK7707, and active noise cancelling solutions featuring Silentium technology.
- This “Biological information measurement system” allows our CES 2022 booth attendees to monitor their heartbeat and breathing live without physical contact. By installing a thin electrode into the car seat, the system detects important physical information related to the driver, such as drowsiness or if a child has been left in an unattended car, without any functional or aesthetic obstructions.
- Experience a tidbit of Japanese culture through the “gacha-gacha” capsule dispenser to commemorate your visit to Asahi Kasei’s booth at CES. Built around our philosophy of “Care for Earth, Care for People,” this attraction will provide insight into Asahi Kasei Homes’ innovations and efforts to make our world more sustainable.
Asahi Kasei Homes strives for a new ideal for smart homes through digital technology in the age of IoT. These home solutions provide a new way of living with sensor technology and data platform construction at its core.
- Smart Cloak Gateway
This system allows even small, restricted spaces to have customizable security levels. Built around convenience, this system can let visitors, like delivery people or housekeepers, into a secure area that allows limited access to the home while you are away. This system has the scalability to work with a variety of new services that will evolve the definition of futuristic automated services for your home.
- Smart Healthcare
This system includes multiple sensors in various objects we interact with around the home that can detect occupants’ movement as well as collect data about the occupants’ vitals as a means to monitor health conditions and provide feedback in a non-invasive manner. Through the interconnectivity of multiple devices, receiving a more personalized approach to medical advice becomes possible.
- Air quality monitoring
As a measure for virus prevention or monitoring the air quality within high-risers or other buildings of high altitude for health or optimal work performance, the importance of indoor air circulation is becoming widely recognized. While CO levels are a valid indicator for when air should be circulated, it must have a portable battery drive and be small enough to be easily installed. Senseair’s CO sensor solution makes this possible.
- Ultra-low energy consumption sound monitoring
Monitoring sound with a low consumption of energy is challenging because it requires a continuous stream of data. However, AKM has developed a product, AK5706, that has made sound monitoring with an ultra-low energy consumption a reality. This system responds to arbitrary audio to activate the system only when it senses a sound so that the entire system can consume less power through continuous monitoring. As a result, this technology will accelerate monitoring through sound to countless new applications.
- UVC LED, “Klaran™”
The use of UVC LEDs for protecting surfaces from viruses, cleaning air conditioning units, introducing UV anti-virus functionality to current systems, and more, has never been more widespread. Asahi Kasei provides the best UVC LED modules for surface and air disinfection that are the perfect solution for any places that need to remain virus-free.
The technologies on display at CES 2022 are among a handful of innovations that represent Asahi Kasei’s commitment to “Creating for Tomorrow.” We are promoting multifaceted businesses and the diversity of our workforce through the key concepts of connecting within and outside of the company to promote our values: “Care for People, Care for Earth.” We are also dedicated to the creation of new businesses, a new level of global progression, and the development of sustainable solutions around the world.
