Battery-powered AI/ML-based Smart Alarm System

Infineon Technologies AG has announced its battery-powered Smart Alarm System (SAS) that achieves high accuracy and very low-power operation using sensor fusion based on artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). This technology combined with low-power wake-on acoustic event detection provides remarkable performance and the compact design exceeds the detection accuracy of acoustic-only alarm systems used in smart buildings and homes, and other IoT applications while achieving equal or greater battery life compared to less sophisticated solutions.

This is a multi-layered security system that uses data from XENSIV microphone IM73A135V01 and XENSIV barometric pressure sensor DPS310 coupled together with acoustic event detection (AED) technology, sensor fusion algorithms running on the PSoC family of microprocessors to provide true protection and monitoring against burglary, intruder as well and other acoustic events. Moreover, the AI/ML sensor fusion algorithm is also capable of eliminating many other background sounds or background pressure events that can generate false positives due to the similarities to alarm systems.
