Yuji Ichimura from Mobotix, Konica Minolta

The new Chairman of the Mobotix Supervisory Board is Yuji Ichimura, Executive Officer at Konica Minolta.

Yuji Ichimura succeeds Dr. Ralf Hinkel, who stepped down from the Mobotix Supervisory Board at his own request on May 31. The Supervisory Board now consists of Yuji Ichimura, Kunihiro Koshizuka and Sabine Hinkel.

With Konica Minolta as a new strategic shareholder, Mobotix is pursuing the goal of further improving its camera technology through innovations such as higher resolution image sensors and more powerful lenses. A further goal is the joint development of a new generation of security solutions that are also based on optical systems from Konica Minolta - for example the '3D Lidar', a high-precision sensor based on laser technology that will enable 3D images to be taken and the distance, size and speed of moving objects to be measured.

Mobotix is a system manufacturer of professional video management systems (VMS) and intelligent IP cameras based in Langmeil, Germany.
