Office Application :

This carpet will be used in this office to secure the server. The senses in the carpet will be able to detect anyone inside this off limet room.

Product Summary:

The Infineon Thinking Carpet is basically a carpet-embedded sensor
network/sensor system. A prototype rug that uses embedded sensors to do everything from demarcate off-limits areas to sound alerts if
intruders enter through a window.

The technology now being driven ahead by Vorwerk and Infineon
foresees equipping textile flooring for the office of tomorrow with
artificial intelligence to be able to supplement or even replace either
conventional systems or those with a limited functional capability.
"On the one hand, the uniqueness of the 'Thinking Carpet' is going
to lie in the invisible, simple and space-saving placement of sensors
for the widest variety of functions, functions for which optically
visible devices are still being utilised today" says Johannes
Schulte.

Architectural Applications:

This Smart Carpet can be used where high levels of security are needed such as govermental offices, satellite offices. Where ever security is needed this smart carpet is of use. In addition this carpet can be as well be a life saver because of the pressure treated sensors in a fire it will be able to give a location where a body might be at.
