Grid-EYE Application vertical
Application vertical - Absolute temperature measurement
Grid-EYE is the de-facto industry standard for applications which require zonal temperature information. In many applications, monitoring the temperature of one or multiple zones within a given area may be a required. In these cases, standard temperature sensors like thermistors or single element thermopiles are inadequate solutions. Panasonic Grid-EYE caters to such use-cases.
The stream of Grid-Eye temperature data can be interpreted to either trigger an alarm in response to a catastrophic event e.g., kitchen stove fires, overheating circuit breakers, etc., or be used for comfort automation like intelligent air conditioning. Such time-series data can also provide meaningful information about heating and cooling patterns of objects which can be used in applications like smart ovens.
The compact size of grid-eye allows it to be integrated in small devices that need to fit into small spaces. Also, the modest 64 pixel design provides the adequate resolution for such applications without generating too much data. Designers can write applications with low memory footprint to process Grid-eye temperature images locally on simple & low-cost microcontrollers.
