At EXPO 2015, Canon is showing how the world of imaging is expanding rapidly in the
age of the Internet of Things. In the future nearly everything will be connected through
smart devices. These rely on built-in cameras or sensors and the data they generate. As a
result, Canon predicts that the Internet of Things will largely depend on the 'Imaging of
Things.'
To deliver new possibilities in the world of imaging, Canon is building a 'Network of
Canon Companies' - an ecosystem designed to harness innovation and creative talents from
across the regions
Fujio Mitarai, Chairman and CEO, Canon Inc., ahead of his keynote speech at Canon EXPO
Paris 2015, commented: Â "I am delighted to welcome our valued partners and customers to
Paris today and to explain my vision for a future Canon, where both regional independence
and international collaboration is put into practice."
In the new network of companies, each regional headquarters will manage local R&D and
manufacturing, as well as service and support customised to its market. Â Europe will focus
on printing and network video surveillance (NVS) and Canon has already brought on board
strong leaders in these business areas such as Oce, Axis and Milestone Systems. As a
result, in addition to its global reputation for cameras, Canon is now the largest
printing and network surveillance system company in the world.
Rokus van Iperen, President and CEO, Canon Europe, Middle East and Africa, added: "We
are excited about the huge opportunities the shifting landscape presents and believe that
in the future every image should have a connection with Canon. Whether it is taking the
image, recording, storing, editing or printing it we want to play a part and are building
businesses to do this."
While capitalising on strong positions in its core markets, examples of how Canon is
driving future business growth in EMEA include:
- NVS - The combination of Canon, Axis and Milestone brings together complementary
technologies and solutions to respond to society's ever-expanding monitoring needs.
Ground-breaking new solutions, such as the concept high-sensitivity network camera
with ultra-telephoto lens on show at EXPO, demonstrate what's possible for the
security market and beyond Â
- 3D printing - As a first step in this young but promising market Canon is partnering
with 3D Systems in Europe. For customers in manufacturing, architecture, education and
engineering sectors, Canon will provide solutions that provide smart alignment between
data, imaging capture and output
- Graphic Arts - Canon is continuing to invest in digital print technologies to be able
to cost-effectively print ever-more complex applications on demand. Â For example, the
Oce Colorwave 910 , the fastest digital wide format colour printer on the market will
be demonstrating high speed colour poster printing at EXPO
- B2B solutions and services - Canon's B2B solutions are built to address the needs of
specific customer verticals such as financial services, insurance, manufacturing or
health. At EXPO, Canon is demonstrating what is possible in areas like document
management, data management and marketing communication management with systems such
as PRISMAdirect, demonstrating how workflows can be improved to significantly
streamline production
- Digital consumer services - Canon is building an ecosystem of products and services
for every part of the imaging journey. Â Key initiatives include its photo cloud
service, irista, family-focused application, Lifecake and the hdbook EZ - a new
smartphone app that intelligently selects the best images from picture and movie
libraries and automatically creates a personalised photobook
Technology highlights at Canon EXPO Paris 2015Â
Canon also has many advanced imaging technology concepts for the future on display in
Paris including:
- A 250 megapixel CMOS sensor
[http://www.canon-europe.com/about_us/press_centre/press_releases/consumer_news/cameras_accessories/aps_h_size_cmos_sensor.aspx ]
, the world's highest pixel count for its
size. When installed in a camera, the new sensor is capable of capturing lettering on
the side of an aircraft 18 kilometres away, far beyond what the human eye can see
- A network camera with a new ultra-telephoto lens
[http://www.canon-europe.com/about_us/press_centre/press_releases/business_solutions_news/2h15/network_camera_surveillance.aspx ]
which achieves eight times the brightness
of conventional lenses, making night filming possible for the first time without need
of infrared lighting
- A concept called Intelligent Imaging for Life, which allows people to share and print
their photos from an interactive table in the living room, so a family can find
photos and share memories as easily as placing an object such as a favourite child's
toy on the table
- A range of ultra-high definition imaging technologies for the future including 8K
cameras, displays and projector demonstrations
Those unable to attend Canon EXPO in person can experience the technology concepts and
imaging solutions virtually and read about all the highlights from the event here:
