Industrial NFC: Automation with NFC Click on Hexiwear
An example of how to build versatile applications, is shown in the automation demo with the Hexiwear IOT development platform. Based on Kinetis MCUs and hundreds of available click-boards (plug-ins with sensors, actuators, transceivers - and NFC), you can quickly build a prototype of your application.
Now that's a sound idea
When we first heard the Chirp technology in action, we were transformed back in time to the dial-up Internet connections of the 90s, and the sounds we heard emanating from our ‘modem’ while waiting patiently to get online. But don’t be fooled into thinking Chirp is simply a rehash of old technology, it’s far from it as Chirp’s CEO, Moran Lerner, explained.
Transmission of data to the cloud
Capturing, transmitting and processing data lies at the heart of the fourth industrial revolution.Therefore, cutting-edge connectivity is a must for equipment in factories and similar environments – for example to enable predictive maintenance. At Hannover Messe 2017, Rittal was there to highlight the communication capabilities of its new cooling units and chillers. And by presenting these in conjunction with Siemens MindSphere and IBM Wats...
