While our highly sensitive magnetic sensor "MI Sensor" is currently used in a variety of cases, we focused on applications in the three fields; Security, Medical and Automobile at this exhibition.

Fields where applications of MI sensors are highly expected

So far, we have introduced medical (https://www.aichi-steel.co.jp/smart/mi/news/2021/entry-1810.html) and automotive (https://www.aichi-steel.co.jp/smart/mi/gmps/) in MI News. This time, we will explain applications in the security field.

In recent years, it is said that crimes using guns and blades have been increasing around the world. In order to protect lives against such crimes, there is a growing need for security checks in airports and other everyday lifestyles. Along with this trend, it has become unusual for customers who value the long column of security checks to wait enough, sometimes for more than an hour.

Even today, there are still challenges to discover hidden hazardous materials at the moment. In response to this issue, MI Sensors are trying to present solutions by leveraging its features, such as high sensitivity and high-speed responses.
