With a response time of just 35 microseconds, the FX250 is also perfectly suited for applications requiring fast and precise detection. Even the smallest or rapidly moving objects are reliably identified, increasing process stability and reducing the risk of errors in highspeed production lines. “With the FX250, we are expanding our fibre sensor portfolio with a highly userfriendly series that significantly simplifies everyday work in industrial automation,” says Angelika Selzle, Head of Product & Business Management Sensors at Panasonic Industry. “We have engineered a very compact yet powerful digital fibre sensor. With its response time of 35 µs, it is ideally suited for requiring highthroughput performance.” http://industry.panasonic.eu Infineon Technologies has announced it has been honoured with the AI Impact Award 2026 for its “GenAI for Test Engineering” programme. The award is presented by manager magazin and Porsche Consulting and recognises companies that demonstrate outstanding, measurable business impact through the targeted application of artificial intelligence. “I am extremely proud of our team and this recognition,” says Elke Reichart, Member of the Management Board and Chief Digital and Sustainability Officer at Infineon. “This award validates our holistic approach to AI: as a technology provider as well as a technology user. We deploy artificial intelligence precisely where it creates measurable value for our customers and our business. The ‘GenAI for Test Engineering’ project is an excellent example of how Infineon effectively combines digitalisation and innovation to deliver greater benefit.” Infineon was recognised for its project “GenAI for Test Engineering – Automated Test Programming” in the category Manufacturing & Supply Chain. The project leverages purpose-built AI agents, multimodal large language models (LLMs), and domain-specific expertise to automate the generation of test code in semiconductor manufacturing. As a result, the time required to create software code for testing new semiconductor solutions can be reduced by 50% in the short term and by up to 80% in the long Infineon Wins “AI Impact Award 2026” for Delivering Measurable Business Value in Semiconductor Manufacturing term. This represents a significant productivity gain for several hundred test engineers and makes an important contribution to faster time-to-market and higher product quality. Developed in close collaboration with test engineers, the solution is continuously monitored to ensure compliance with the Infineon AI Manifesto and ethical standards. The AI Impact Award is jointly presented by manager magazin and Porsche Consulting and recognises outstanding AI solutions that demonstrably create economic value within companies and across industries. A jury composed of experts from industry associations, business, and academia evaluates submissions across three categories: Product & Customer Experience, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, and Organisation & Administration. The award-winning companies were honoured at a ceremony held at the ESO Supernova in Garching near Munich. Manager magazin will feature the winners in a dedicated editorial piece, presenting their achievements to a broad professional audience. https://www.infineon.com/
