Unparalleled accuracy and longevity: Panasonic Industry presents brand new ultra-compact Air Quality Sensor

Next level monitoring precision of particulate matter, temperature, humidity, and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs)

With the release of the new SN-GCQB1 Laser Type Air Quality Sensor, Panasonic Industry marks a significant leap forward in air quality monitoring technology, setting new standards for accuracy, compactness, and longevity for a wide field of relevant installation designs. Engineered to provide precise measurements of particulate matter, temperature, humidity, and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), this sensor might re-define the perception and management of air quality in different environments.

Unmatched Precision and Compact Design
One of the standout features of Panasonic’s SN-GCQB1 is its remarkable precision coupled with an ultra-compact housing, making it one of the smallest on the market. With optimized air pathway structure to minimize dust accumulation – and thus to protect electronic components – this sensor ensures unparalleled accuracy even in the most challenging surroundings.

Comprehensive Air Quality Monitoring
Designed to detect particulate matter in three key classes – PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 – this sensor utilizes a high-precision optical sensor and a unique optical design for enhanced small particle detection. Moreover, its auto-calibration feature guarantees long-term detection accuracy, providing reliable data over extended periods.

Enhanced Features for Versatile Applications
In addition to particulate matter detection, the SN-GCQB1 monitors temperature, humidity, and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs). Equipped with a special resin outer shell, it is protected against electromagnetic waves, ensuring improved long-term drift performance, measurement stability, and response time.

Longevity and Reliability
With a projected lifetime exceeding 10 years, this sensor offers unmatched longevity, making it an ideal choice for various applications such as factory clean air management, environmental sensing, HVAC installations, room air conditioners, air purifiers, and more.

Setting New Standards
By providing accurate data on air quality parameters, including estimated carbon dioxide concentration calculated by TVOCs and IAQ levels according to UBA standards (German Environment Agency), this latest air quality monitoring innovation from Panasonic will offer an unrivalled level of sensor precision, reliability, and versatility for a vast field of relevant product designs.

Machine Learning on the Edge
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
Edge machine learning is a great way to allow embedded devices to run applications that can collect sensor data and locally process that data. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Clark Jarvis from Infineon explore how the IMAGIMOB Studio, ModusToolbox™ Software, and PSoC and AURIX™ microcontrollers can help you develop a custom machine learning on the edge application from scratch. They also investigate how the IMAGIMOB Studio can help you easily develop and deploy AI/ML models and the benefits that the PSoC™ 6 Artificial Intelligence Evaluation Kit will bring to your next machine learning on the edge application design process.
