Detecting displacement is particularly difficult in harsh environments. Choosing between non-contact sensors, which require a clean and predictable environment, and cylinder-type sensors, which are sensitive to vibrations and misalignment, is a very challenging issue. The DS series sensors are solid-state and combine the robustness of non-contact sensors, enabling measurements in unpredictable applications under conditions such as mud, snow, and rain. Since they do not require special mounting, protection, or cleaning, they significantly reduce the effort and cost of installation, operation, and maintenance. The DS series demonstrates its true value in various applications, including structural health monitoring, factory automation, and work vehicles.

Event cameras are sensors inspired by biology that are fundamentally different from conventional cameras. Instead of capturing images, they measure the changes in brightness at each pixel asynchronously at a fixed rate. This generates data encoded as "events," which include time, brightness changes, and location. Event cameras have superior characteristics compared to traditional cameras, including a dynamic range of 140 dB, high temporal resolution on the order of microseconds, low power consumption, and no motion blur.
