PLASTIC OMNIUM WINS TWO INNOVATION AWARDS AT CES 2023

Plastic Omnium wins two CES 2023 Innovation Awards for its Dynamic Welcome Light Projection and its Intelligent Off-Road Mobility Lighting System, in the “Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility” category. These two awards represent the international recognition of the innovative strength that drives Plastic Omnium.

Laurent Favre, Plastic Omnium’s Chief Executive Officer, says: “We are proud and happy to have been honored at CES 2023, the most influential tech event in the world! This is a reward for the outstanding work of our lighting experts and proof that Plastic Omnium is at the forefront of a new generation of mobility lighting”.

The Dynamic Welcome Light Projection

The Dynamic Welcome Light Projection welcomes the driver and passengers as they approach or exit the vehicle. The dynamic images are projected on the ground through a Microlens Array (MLA) which can project four different graphics from a single unit, making it the world’s first MLA- based projection module. This flexible module can be installed all around the vehicle for partial or full surround projections.

This way, the technology enhances safety and allows a sophisticated light staging. In addition to illuminating the vehicle’s entrance, the module can project warning symbols in front of the driver and passenger doors, such as a snowflake in case of ice on the road.

The Intelligent Off-Road Lighting System for a safe driving

Using individually controlled LEDs, the Intelligent Off-Road Lighting System predicts illumination needs and creates a precise beam that diffuses the right light, in the right place, at the right time. This system integrates and processes vehicle data, such as the vehicle’s acceleration, direction and GPS information, to seamlessly adapt the light and best illuminate the chosen path.

This lighting system is compatible with many types of off-road vehicles including quads, snowmobiles and two-wheelers.

The CES Innovation Awards program is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. The expert jury recognizes honorees in a multitude of product categories and distinguishes the highest rated in each.
