Sony is delighted to be exhibiting at Amsterdam Drone Week (ADW), happening from 10-13 March on the metropolis’s RAI Conference Centre alongside InterTraffic, the world’s main commerce present on mobility and visitors know-how.
The corporate might be showcasing its complete portfolio of imaging and sensor applied sciences designed for the industrial drone sector, with use circumstances together with mapping and surveying, infrastructure inspection, safety and surveillance and, more and more, building and visitors security.

Sony’s aerial imaging options and associate ecosystem allow clients to unlock the complete potential of their drone operations by capturing the best high quality photographs, simplifying workflows and creating tailor-made functions to remotely handle and configure a number of drone cameras.
The Digital Imaging crew, who might be representing the corporate at ADW, will illustrate how they work intently with techniques integrators and finish customers to develop bespoke options for brand new use circumstances, utilizing a mix of applied sciences, cameras and lenses as required.
From a product perspective, Sony might be presenting:
- The ILX-LR1 – a full-frame skilled digicam particularly designed for drone and industrial functions. It incorporates a 61.0 efficient megapixel full–body picture sensor, in a compact and light-weight digicam physique, with interchangeable E–mount precision lenses, permitting customers to see particulars that may be invisible with typical drone cameras.
- A choice of cameras from the newest Alpha collection, supported by Sony Software program Growth Package (SDK) for OEM integration, and the FCB-ER zoom digicam block collection. The FCB-ER9500 is Sony’s first 4K/60 block digicam, delivering beautiful element at 60fps. Powered by STARVIS 2, it ensures distinctive picture high quality from low mild to vibrant scenes, with wide-to-telephoto versatility and industry-leading WDR. With exact optical zoom, it affords unparalleled versatility in capturing nice particulars throughout varied industrial environments and is right for inspection and remark.
- The AS-DT1 – the world’s smallest LiDAR depth sensor, designed for mid-range functions with accuracy at 40-metre vary in a compact 29mm cubic type issue weighing beneath 50 grams. With a 30fps refresh charge, Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) and built-in Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), it is superb for integration into drones and robotics, particularly for functions corresponding to inspection, object avoidance and touchdown.
- The AS-DT1 mounted on the Sony ILX-LR1 – a strong sensor fusion offering high-resolution, photogrammetric imagery overlayed with 3D, depth-mapping and level cloud information. Supreme for inspection duties corresponding to generators and energy traces.
- Digital camera Distant Toolkit – software program that empowers builders to entry and management Sony cameras (or a mixed-manufacturer digicam atmosphere) and lenses remotely.
- Sturdy ecosystem associate community across the IXL-LR1 to guarantee easy techniques integration, as an illustration with Gremsy, Airpixel, CubePilot and Auterion. A full drone answer with Acecore Applied sciences might be showcased on the stand.
“We’re excited to exhibit at Amsterdam Drone Week, which is able to present the right platform to showcase our established vary of digital imaging options to the {industry},” commented Michael Pisch, Senior Supervisor Gross sales & Enterprise Growth EMEA, Sony Europe. “We’ll reveal our dedication to creating groundbreaking sensing applied sciences that allow protected, sustainable and environment friendly operations, serving to our clients push the boundaries of innovation – now and sooner or later.”
The AS-DT1 helps Sony’s broader ambitions as a pacesetter in international sensing know-how to create merchandise that make the world safer. Sony believes that advances in picture sensing options could make a major social contribution, with automation know-how serving to to resolve labour shortages, whereas making life safer and fewer repetitive for employees.
An actual-world instance of such applied sciences in motion is the Port of Hamburg, the place drone-based inspections powered by the Sony ILX-LR1 haven’t solely enhanced picture high quality however improved employee security.
Be part of Sony at stand 07.501, the place the crew might be delighted to assist guests tackle their aerial images and machine imaginative and prescient challenges whereas studying about Sony’s digital imaging options.
