SMK Electronics brings Milweb sensor to detect vehicle rear seat occupancy, heart rate, respiration

Las Vegas, United States – SMK Electronics Corporation, U.S.A., has announced a Milweb millimetre wave sensor technology and solution. Utilising the company’s proprietary algorithms, the Milweb wave sensor can identify objects, surfaces, up-coming terrain and even, at a close range, an individual’s heart rate and respiration. This sensor technology has applications in home automation, automotive manufacturing, healthcare and safety products.

“Anticipating the needs of today’s quickly evolving, tech-savvy marketplace, our customers are seeking new ways to incorporate automation and smart technologies into their builds, adding new safety features and functionalities, for example, to deliver technologically advanced product offerings to consumers,” says Paul Evans, president of SMK Electronic Corporation, U.S.A. “As just one of a broad spectrum of applications, SMK’s new Milweb sensor can be utilised by our automotive partners to detect vehicle rear seat occupancy–a function that can be then integrated into the car’s optical system.”
