Enhance Your Team’s skills and knowledge with our RF Fundamentals Training In the rapidly evolving landscape of wireless technology, Radio Frequency (RF) engineering stands as a pivotal and frequently undervalued domain. In response, our comprehensive training course has been meticulously designed to empower your business with essential RF knowledge that directly translates to optimised wireless, …
Lora LoRa is a spread spectrum wireless technology, developed by Semtech Corporation. It has been developed to allow long distance transmission of low rate data. The low rate data is collected by remote field sensors and actuators, and is used for Internet of Things and M2M applications. Lora uses the 868 Mhz unlicensed radio spectrum, …
What is Lorawan First of all, what is Lorawan. It is a wireless technology that allows small amounts of data to be sent between a remote sensor (such as a river level detector), and the Internet. Lorawan technology is very efficient at sending the sensor data over long distances, whilst consuming very little power. This …
Pouring water on an Induction Motor may stop it working, due to the lowering of the insulation resistance of the internal motor coil windings.
The Internet of Things or IoT for short is already known to the public through innovative products, such as body-worn fitness monitors, that record and upload data to the internet.
In the industrial sectors, such as manufacturing, new systems are being developed to replace existing infrastructure, to improve efficiency.
However, what about perfectly good existing equipment that you, as a business, do not want to replace. The answer is to retrofit equipment, to make it ‘Smart’.
It is convenient to break down the IOT process in terms of:-
Input-Process-Output
Therefore retrofitting the Internet of Things….tb continued
This is the first of our videos on retrofitting the Internet of Things to existing industries, such as factories, agriculture and cities.
A LoraWAN Gateway is a device that receives (and potentially sends) the wireless data from your lora enabled sensors, and then connects it to the Internet. These sensors are typically low powered devices capable of detecting such things as moisture of the soil, pollution levels, or pretty much whatever you wish to measure. The LoraWAN …
Star-Delta Starters are used to start larger ac induction motors used in industries, such as Manufacturing and Marine. Like ‘Direct Online’ (DOL) starters, which are also used for ac induction motors starting (though smaller, lower current motors), Star-Delta starters only turn the motor on and off at a single speed. With the growth in the …
Challenge of Installing IOT Sensor Equipment in Explosion-Proof Areas, by Craig Miles IoT, or the Internet of Things is already changing the way that businesses function, and this is set to explode in the forthcoming years. IoT is all about improving business efficiency by collecting information (via sensors) about the physical world (Inputs such as …
The ‘Internet of Things’, or IOT for short is set to dominate the next phase of the internet. The IOT is about monitoring and controlling everyday machines and items by giving them an address (IP address) on the internet. Recent advances in low power wireless technologies open up the possibility of cost effective transmission of …
Lincoln Farmer Recently we were contacted by a farmer, based just outside of the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. He had had a system supplied and installed by another company a few years ago, however, the performance had decreased over time. The first task was to carry out a through audit of the installed equipment. This …
