Panasonic Connect Wins Five iF Design Awards 2023

An admission and payment service using facial recognition technology has been introduced at Yomiuri Giants games held at the Tokyo Dome. This technology eliminates the need for admission tickets, credit cards, and long lines, allowing for stress-free entry to the event and hands-free shopping. It also streamlines the work of on-site staff involved in admission and payment. The digital transformation through the introduction of cashless payment and facial recognition technology is transforming the entertainment market by improving the efficiency of stadium operations, leading to a new spectator experience for spectators.

Blue laser oscillator for high-precision welding and cutting of copper, which is difficult to process. This high-definition laser is 8 times more precise than other companies’ lasers and contributes to higher efficiency, smaller size, and lighter weight of devices for the production of EVs, which require advanced energy-saving performance. Blue lasers based on our proprietary wavelength synthesis technology lose less energy due to surface reflection than near-infrared lasers, resulting in a 30% reduction in power consumption and lower CO₂ emissions. The design symbolizes Panasonic’s commitment to the environment, which inspired the development of this technology.

A high-performance 360-degree camera, microphone, and speaker integrated web conferencing terminal that solves the problems of hybrid conferences connecting remote and office work. When remote participants join a meeting, it is difficult for them to see what is going on in the office, making it difficult for them to participate in the conversation, hear what is being said, and stimulate discussion. Other issues that have become apparent include the time required to prepare for unfamiliar IT tools such as the connection of cameras, microphones, and speakers, which reduces operational efficiency. With this product, hybrid conferences can be easily started by simply connecting cables, and remote participants can enjoy a realistic conference experience.

The flagship model of the full-digital CO2/MAG/MIG/welding machines with pulse functionality, the 100 kHz inverter reduces weld spatter by up to 78%, further improving welding performance. The welding concierge function provides easy-to-understand support for welding parameter adjustments that require experience and expertise, and provides easy access to necessary information. In addition, the 7-inch LCD screen and “Weld Navigation,” which simplifies welding condition setting, provide smooth and easy operation. In addition, a newly developed digital remote controller enables remote operation at your fingertips, and the new wire feeder has improved ease of use with a lightweight design and a large handle for easy carrying.
