Panasonic enhances it’s PIR sensor with PAPIRS+
Panasonic has announced the expansion of its PIR motion sensor portfolio with the introduction of PaPIRs+, the next evolution of its PaPIRs technology. Designed to meet increasing demands in building automation and smart infrastructure, PaPIRs+ delivers enhanced detection performance while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of conventional PIR solutions.
PaPIRs+ introduces a performance upgrade through redesigned pyroelectric elements. Larger and optimised sensing structures improve infrared absorption, resulting in up to twice the sensitivity compared to conventional PaPIRs sensors. This enables accurate detection of even minor movements across extended distances and wider areas, while reducing blind spots.
The performance makes PaPIRs+ particularly well suited for applications where detection quality is critical, such as modern lighting control, HVAC systems, and smart building solutions. At the same time, the technology remains cost-efficient, offering an increase in performance with only a marginal impact on system cost.
With the recent launch of the new Flat Wide Detection Type, featuring an ultra-flat lens and a wide field of view, Panasonic demonstrates how PaPIRs+ combines high performance with modern, discreet design. This enables seamless integration into space-sensitive environments such as offices, schools, and residential buildings, where aesthetics and functionality must go hand in hand.
