The Management Board of MOBOTIX AG is looking forward to working with Kunihiro Koshizuka, responsible for technology and R&D at Konica Minolta. He will replace Willi Fallot-Burghardt, who has resigned as member of the Supervisory Board. Further members of the Supervisory Board of MOBOTIX AG are Sabine Hinkel and Dr. Ralf Hinkel.
Improving camera technology
With its new strategic investor Konica Minolta, MOBOTIX aims at improving its leading camera technology through innovations such as new high-resolution imaging sensors and high-grade lenses.
Next-generation security solutions
A further objective of Konica Minolta and MOBOTIX is the joint development of next-generation security solutions including Konica Minolta‘s industrial optical systems. Konica Minolta‘s 3D-LiDAR for instance scans wide areas at a high precision level. This laser sensor will be able to generate 3D images, determine the distance, the size and even the speed of a moving object. Intelligent solutions for specific vertical markets will be developed with the technology and experience of both companies, for instance a “Care Support Solution“ for monitoring residents at nursing care homes and hospitals.
