IIoT fuels huge growth opportunities for intelligent pumps
Increased customer demand to derive maximum output from legacy equipment is driving pump manufacturers to integrate enhanced technological features into existing pumps. They started off integrating Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and controllers with the aim of conserving energy, monitoring performance, controlling the speed, and measuring a few vital parameters, but these benefits are beginning to prove insufficien...
How smart homes will take over the world
You hear a lot about home automation these days and it continues to be a hot topic. It includes all sorts of ingenious inventions that will save you time and money. However, is it possible to automate your backyard as well?
IoT connectivity portfolio cuts WiFi power consumption
The WiFi portfolio of modules and transceivers, enabling developers to create end node products with power efficiency, RF blocking performance and advanced security, has been expanded by Silicon Labs. Designed for the specific needs of IoT applications, the Wireless Gecko portfolio reportedly cuts WiFi power consumption in half.
Industrial product identification to support smart devices
As the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 5G technology gradually integrate, a new data economy ecosystem is taking shape. As a consequence, Apacer has announced that it will launch its product identification ‘Apacer for Industrial’ in 2019.
SDK for IoT System on Chip supports debugging
IC design company based in Beijing, Winner Micro, recently released their new SDK for IoT WiFi SoC W600. The new SDK supports compiling and debugging with Eclipse + IDE + GCC + OpenOCD as well as MicroPython. Currently, IoT WiFi SoC is widely used in smart homes, smart appliances, health care, smart toys and industry.
Rockwell Automation named IoT company of the year
IoT Breakthrough, an independent organisation that recognises the top companies, technologies and products in the global IoT market, announced Rockwell Automation as winner of the 'Overall IoT Company the Year' award in the global 2019 IoT Breakthrough Awards programme.
In the IoT small things can make a big difference
The Internet of Things (IoT) is more than the sum of its parts, even if those parts are expected to number in the tens of billions within this decade alone. The size, shape and scope of those things will vary massively, but as a concept the IoT is often presented as smart sensors enabling smarter infrastructure. And in some cases, that is exactly right.
SiP offers compact, low-power cellular IoT solution
The nRF91 system-in-package (SiP) from Nordic Semiconductor is available at Mouser Electronics. Featuring an integrated application microcontroller, full LTE modem, RF front end, and power management in a single device, the nRF91 SiP is ideal for low-power cellular Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
IoT-ready-to-use device enables AI at the edge
SmartEdge Agile, a low power, IoT ready-to-use device developed through a partnership between Avnet, Octonion and ST Microelectronics is in stock at Farnell element14. The first in a new category called “Meta-Sensing”, SmartEdge Agile includes nine sensors, and provides design engineers with the ability to implement artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge through an easy-to-use, zero-code interface.
What did we learn from the IoTSF 2018 conference?
When you work in IoT security must be at the top of your priority list, so one question that should be on your mind is: ‘What does good security look like?’ That is why the IoT Security Foundation has just released two new whitepapers on this, the first ‘IoT security home architecture’ and ‘Enterprise IoT security architecture’ which recently were announced at its annual conference held in London.
