Infineon's IoT Innovations & Developments
Auto-heating buildings and intelligent coffee makers are fantasies of the past. Infineon is spearheading the Internet of Things (IoT) push to bring these ideas to life, and in big ways. Thanks to our 250-person application team and world-leading expertise, our engineers are continuously working on IoT innovations in the automotive, industrial, smart home, gaming, and health industries, to meet the needs of customers in the most convenient ways possible.
To show you just how much Infineon is doing in this space, we’ve asked the Executive VP of IoT Compute & Wireless (ICW) to discuss some of the problems we’re addressing with IoT.

What is the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things is already changing lives in countless ways, from refrigerators that can re-up on groceries to cars that compromise on parking spots. At Infineon, we work on exciting projects that span five core industries: Automotive, Industrial, Smart Home, Gaming, and Health and Wellness, according to Sam:
Sam Geha, Executive VP of ICW (IoT Compute & Wireless): “Health and fitness is the hottest area for Infineon’s IoT development, including wearable devices such as smart watches and glasses that continuously collect health data. Smart homes are a core industry as well–thermostats that keep the home at an ambient temperature, smart coffee machines with verbal commands, and other home-based applications.
Smart Buildings, AI, & IoT
IoT is set to launch intelligent buildings and advanced AI. Knowing this, Infineon’s global application team is deeply involved in the design and production of both smart buildings and AI programs. According to Sam, these advancements can lead to cutting-edge solutions such as auto-heating office buildings, and even WiFi-enabled facial recognition:
Sam Geha: “For smart homes and buildings, Infineon is working on thermostats that can gauge temperature and automatically turn on A/C units or heaters when appropriate–and for bigger buildings, automated heating or cooling to prepare for employees before they arrive in the morning is in the works. On the AI side, we’re seeing facial and image recognition that can integrate with WiFi. These are all within our wheelhouse at Infineon.”
