As markets have become increasingly crowded and competitive, Frost & Sullivan has refined how Frost Radar™ insights are communicated, making it easier for decision-makers to understand the trajectory and strategic positioning of companies featured within the framework.

“Markets today are characterised by unprecedented levels of innovation, competition, and convergence,” said Dilip Sarangan, Corporate Strategy & Digital Transformation Leader at Frost & Sullivan. “While the Frost Radar™’s underlying methodology remains unchanged, we recognised an opportunity to make the insights it generates more intuitive and actionable. This evolution is about improving clarity, not changing how companies are evaluated.”

Unlike traditional ranking systems, the Frost Radar™ provides a forward-looking view of how effectively organisations balance growth and innovation to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

To help users more readily interpret market positions, Frost & Sullivan has introduced four distinct classifications: Visionary Leaders, Growth Champions, Innovators, and Contenders. These categories provide additional context around how companies are balancing current market performance with future readiness.

Visionary Leaders demonstrate excellence across both growth and innovation dimensions, positioning them to shape the future direction of their industries. Growth Champions have established strong market traction and execution capabilities, while Innovators are driving technological advancement and disruption with significant future potential. Contenders often represent highly specialised organisations with focused expertise and strong opportunities for future growth.

The enhancement also includes a refined visual representation of the Frost Radar™. As markets mature and more companies achieve strong performance across multiple dimensions, meaningful distinctions can become increasingly difficult to visualise. By rescaling the plotted range, Frost & Sullivan has created greater differentiation between participants without altering underlying scores, evaluation criteria, or methodology.

“We have not changed how companies are assessed,” Sarangan added. “We have simply improved how those assessments are represented. The integrity, rigour, and analytical discipline behind the Frost Radar™ remain exactly the same.”

Inclusion in a Frost Radar™ continues to represent a significant achievement. Each analysis begins with a broad universe of market participants before analysts conduct extensive research, validation, and benchmarking to identify companies that meet Frost & Sullivan’s stringent criteria across both growth and innovation. As a result, companies featured on the Frost Radar™ represent a select group recognised for their ability to navigate current market realities while preparing for future opportunities.

“The objective has always been to help organisations make more informed strategic decisions,” said Sarangan. “In a market where many companies appear increasingly similar at first glance, clarity becomes a genuine competitive advantage. This evolution ensures the Frost Radar™ continues to provide that clarity while maintaining the analytical rigour that has made it a trusted benchmark across industries.”

The enhanced Frost Radar™ framework will be incorporated into future Frost Radar™ analyses across industries worldwide.

High-accuracy energy measurements and photon-level data acquisition on a single chip

ATSUGI, Japan, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (Sony) today announced the upcoming release, mass-production, and shipment of the IMX711 direct conversion charge-integrating X-ray CMOS image sensor.

The IMX711 is an X-ray image sensor for inspection and measurement instrumentation which directly detects X-rays and outputs signals proportional to their energy. The new sensor offers the industry’s fastest*1 maximum 26,100 fps high-speed imaging, achieved thanks to Sony’s proprietary circuit technology, suppressing charge saturation for accurate measurements. It also significantly reduces noise to enable improved signal detection precision in low-flux conditions, detecting differences in photon energy. It provides both high-accuracy measurements of integrated X-ray energy at a wide dynamic range and energy information acquisition at the photon level on a single sensor, a feat that has been difficult with conventional sensors. This unique feature will contribute to the advancement and diversification of X-ray inspection and measurement technologies, which are used in a wide variety of applications, from cutting-edge device inspection to scientific measurements.

The IMX711 was developed with the collaboration between Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation and RIKEN. Based on a pixel structure invented by Dr. Takaki Hatsui of RIKEN, the two parties worked together on the technological development required to make it viable as a practical X-ray image sensor, including improving sensitivity and achieving high resistance to X-ray irradiation and high-voltage tolerance. Sony developed its circuit technology, manufacturing processes and packaging technology for mass production.

X-ray inspection and measurement are widely used in a variety of fields, including inspection of advanced devices such as batteries and semiconductors, and scientific measurement in materials development and life sciences research. As these methods become more sophisticated along with advances in data analysis technology including AI, X-ray sensors are also required to evolve to deliver more efficient and highly reliable data acquisition. However, with conventional sensors,*3 it has been challenging to improve measurement accuracy and meet the requirements of diversifying downstream analysis, due to the photon counting errors in high-flux conditions and the impact of noise under low-flux conditions.

The new sensor enables the industry’s fastest*1 maximum frame rate of 26,100 fps and low-noise performance of 34 e-rms*4 (random noise of approximately 34 electrons per pixel), thereby helping to resolve the above-mentioned technical challenges. It not only accurately detects signals across a wider dynamic range than conventional sensors, but also resolves photons of varying energy levels at high resolution while offering the advantage of a charge-integrating sensor to output both integrated X-ray energy data and photon energy data. The highly reliable data acquired by this product will not only improve the performance of X-ray inspection and measurement equipment, but also contribute to the development of new analysis methods using energy information, as described below.

Examples of Potential Applications

Improving precision and throughput in high-speed inspection of moving objects for battery and semiconductor applicationsElemental mapping for distinguishing photons of different energy levels and rendering two-dimensional distributionSimultaneous measurement of crystal structure analysis and element analysis using photon energy information and spatial information

Main Features

High-accuracy measurements in a wide dynamic range thanks to the industry’s fastest,*1 low-noise imaging
This product achieves the industry’s fastest*1 maximum frame rate of 26,100 fps thanks to Sony’s proprietary circuit technology. Lowering the amount of accumulated charge per frame enables superior saturation characteristics compared to conventional sensors. At the same time, random noise, which is a technical challenge on charge-integrating sensors, has been reduced to 34 e-rms*4 so that even faint X-ray signals are not obscured by noise and can be reliably detected. This improves measurement precision under low-flux conditions, offering photon level detection. These features enable accurate measurement of integrated X-ray energy for all pixels across low- to high-flux conditions, supporting inspection and measurement with significant differences in brightness on a single sensor, contributing to improved device throughput and an expanded dynamic range.High energy resolution enabling inspection and measurement using photon energy
The new sensor uses the charge-integrating method, which makes it possible to acquire photon energy information without the need to set a threshold in advance. Furthermore, noise and signal variation are suppressed during reading to achieve high energy resolution for clear identification of differences in photon energy. Enabling acquisition of highly reliable data via high energy resolution will contribute to streamlining and improving precision in advanced inspection and measurement, which previously required several measurements in applications such as detecting differences in constituent elements at the element level and structural and material analysis to quantitatively evaluate minute state changes. It also enables post-processing under various conditions such as collecting the measurement data for all pixels, combining it with spatial information, and extracting specific energy data contributes to multifunctional inspection and measurement.
