IoT Solutions
Whilst still in its infancy, the Internet of Things (IoT) is in part evolving by using Bluetooth Smart as an underpinning technology. Bluetooth Smart is rapidly being adopted for short-range wireless connectivity between compact, coin cell-powered accessories using RF sensors and smartphone ‘hubs’ supporting associated software applications. The ARM mbed initiative is a collaborative industry project that plans to nurture the IoT. The initiative delivers tools and fundamental open-source hardware and software building blocks for the rapid development of ARM-based devices. The collaboration between Nordic Semiconductor and ARM has resulted in Nordic’s nRF51822 System-on-Chip (SoC) which combines a Bluetooth v4.1-compliant 2.4GHz multiprotocol radio with an ARM Cortex-M0 CPU core on a single chip optimized for ultra-low power operation. The nRF51822 Series offers developers the ideal platform for designing the wirelessly-connected sensors that will help turn the IoT from a technological concept into reality as the mechanisms to transfer IP data from sensor nodes begin to appear.

A pioneer in the IoT industry, BeagleBoard provides solutions that result in rapid prototypes and avoids all barriers to production. By engaging a broad developer ecosystem, challenges faced by individual development efforts have likely already been seen and resolved. A network of hardware and software consultants are highly experienced around BeagleBoard.org designs and are prepared to solve any development gaps you might encounter. BeagleBone is a true open hardware, community-supported embedded computer for developers and hobbyists. Ride the 1GHz edge with the Sitara™ ARM® Cortex-A8 processor, boot Linux in under 10 seconds and get started on development in less than 5 minutes with just a single USB cable.

Our products in industrial process measurement and control (such as control valve actuator, actuating mechanism etc.) are widely used in petroleum and nature gas, chemical industry, metallurgy, electricity generating station, pulp and paper, the source of water, sewage, pharmaceutical and food and other fields.
ADATA understands that professionalism and innovation, as well as the value of its products and services, drive a company’s competitiveness in the market. ADATA’s devotion to quality requires performing at the highest standards as they relate to ID design, purchasing and supply-chain management (raw materials), manufacturing processes, quality control and testing.
