| IoT Solutions | SERVO DRIVES
Electric drives are the foundation of robotics and machinery. Sensor data is what fuels the cutting edge of robotics and machinery. Synapticon’s smart sensor-driven control software and advanced power electronics increase the performance and lower the cost of high-performance servo drives and electromechanics. Meet SOMANET: Your next robotic vision has just come a big step closer.
INTEGRATED SERVO MOTORS
The performance of a motion axis is getting as good as the software of the servo drive is able to perceive, to understand and to control the physics of motors, gearboxes and the driven load through sensor data. With ACTILINK Motion Node integrated servo motors, Synapticon is leveraging its deep knowledge about the specifics of the electro-mechanic components of motion axes into perfectly adjusted, integrated drive products for decentral motion architectures.
MOTION SOFTWARE
In a world where robots are quickly becoming a commodity, robots should be programmable by anyone, without prior technical knowledge. MOTORCORTEX Robot is therefore designed to provide a simple and easy to use User Experience, where all complexity is hidden inside the powerful MOTORCORTEX Motion Control Core. | Andoit Technologies believes that in the year 2020, the world will be more connected, wireless networks will connect more machines than people and M2M technology will help us to be more energy and cost efficient, safer and more secure. This is the era of connected intelligence. With over 25 years’ experience in delivering scalable SCADA solutions into industries such as water and waste water, utilities, oil and gas, mining, telecommunications and a host of other industries, Adroit Technologies was placed to leverage its SCADA solution and build the Adroit M2M platform. Adroit’s Agent/Object architecture within the I/O Server offers a lot more built-in functionality such as scripting, transacting data into databases etc. saving users massive development time. | A huge part of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications can significantly benefit from context awareness, in particular location awareness. This information might pertain to the location of the user, to the location of devices/appliances or both of them and hence enable a lot of powerful applications, for example, in hospitals to track equipment, doctors, and patients or in industrial environments to track and trace persons and assets. However, IoT research rather focuses on architectures, which includes components for context awareness, but pays less attention to how and with which accuracy context is achieved.
Many algorithms and approaches have been proposed for indoor RF-based localization; however, low cost and accurate indoor localization is still very challenging. Many research and commercial solutions claim very high accuracies, which can, however, only be achieved in a very specific setting under ideal conditions. Adbanticsys Research Department is working on the development of cost-effective indoor localization solutions in real-life environments such as warehouses or underground mining sites. | Through expert design, unparalleled systems expertise and proprietary intellectual property (IP), Adesto enables our customers to differentiate their systems where it matters most for IoT: better efficiency, greater reliability and security, integrated intelligence and lower cost. | Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) focus on transforming bits of data collected at the edge of a pervasive distributed system into actionable information and knowledge for business decision makers and end users. These transformations are driving the biggest change in industry since the steam engine! One of the most important aspects of IoT vision is that smart objects communicate effectively with each other and with applications residing in data centers or the cloud. Eurotech develops and offers the technical building blocks required to build distributed systems of devices and sensors to be effectively interconnected with IT infrastructures. Eurotech solutions are a combination of hardware, Firmware, operating systems, programming frameworks and external infrastructure that enable customers focus on their core activities. | Supercharge your workforce with Skylight Deliver higher productivity, higher quality, and reduced costs with wearable computing and Augmented Reality solutions.
