Car-related products are attracting more and more attention
Since August's ``Introducing Unipos' popular car-related products'', attention to car-related products has increased significantly.In response to this trend, we would like to once again introduce popular car-related products that are currently attracting particular attention.Please feel free to use it as reference information for your research and development work.
Orbbec Femto series | Use in image recognition and distance measurement
Product Summary
3D cameras are closely related to image recognition technology, distance measurement technology, self-driving technology, etc. for automobiles, and are used as in-vehicle cameras.
Orbbec, which is attracting particular attention, is a 2013D camera manufacturer that has been developing and providing 3D vision products for industrial use since 3.
The Orbbec Femto, which is the most promising 3D camera developed by the company, is a ToF 3D camera that can acquire high-resolution depth data.Multiple product lineups are available for use in a variety of situations.
Orbbec Femto uses Azure Kinect DK technology
It has been announced that production of Azure Kinect DK will end in August 2023.In response to this news, we are receiving more and more inquiries about what to use as a substitute.

Car Fire Blanket | Stop the spread of fire to cars and batteries
Product Summary
Car Fire Blanket is a fire blanket manufactured by Bridgehill AS for automobile fire protection.In addition to stopping the spread of fire in cars, this product can also prevent the spread of harmful substances.It is particularly effective against fires in vehicles equipped with storage batteries, such as electric vehicles (EVs), and exhibits excellent fire extinguishing performance.
How To Use
Using the Car Fire Blanket is very simple.Covering the entire car with an expanded blanket blocks the air and prevents the flames from spreading.
| STEP1 Preparation |  |
| Place the Car Fire Blanket on the ground in front or behind your car and spread it out. |
| STEP2 Cover the car |  |
| Two workers should hold the handle of the Car Fire Blanket and place it over the car at once, being careful not to catch fire. |
| STEP3 Leave the Car Fire Blanket on |  |
|
Make sure the Car Fire Blanket is firmly attached to the ground. |
spec
The dimensions and weight of the Car Fire Blanket are as follows.
| Size | ±6×8m |
| weight | ±28kg |
| How To Use | Place the Car Fire Blanket over a vehicle on fire to instantly block out fire and smoke. For EV vehicles, the use of a Car Fire Blanket prevents the battery from continuing to burn in an oxygen-deprived environment. |
*Car Fire Blanket PRO X can be reused for up to 30 fires.
Example of utilization
Car Fire Blanket is an effective product for a variety of situations involving vehicles.In research and development, it is also expected to be used in storage batteries and vehicle experiments.In addition to this, you can minimize the impact of fire troubles by being prepared in the following locations.
| Vehicles are concentrated, Locations where there is a risk of large-scale fire |
parking lot, tunnel, airport |
| Places where quick fire extinguishing is required | ferry, Gas station, EV car charging station |
| Areas where smoke is expected to be emitted from broken down vehicles | Auto repair shop, towing service |
