Lighting Up the Supply Chain with Cellular Based Asset Trackers

The solution to the problem of supply chain dissemination is to track goods through the supply chain, through the actual nodes, independent of that unique node’s enterprise system. Rather than attempting to achieve complete supply chain integration, we can achieve real-time situational awareness by working around disparate systems. One mechanism to do this is through cellular based asset trackers that, when necessary, are equipped with environmental sensors.

Furukawa chooses Quectel LTE and NB-IoT modules for agribusiness and utilities customers in Brazil

Furukawa Electric LatAm, part of one of Japan’s largest industrial groups, has selected Quectel Wireless Solutions to provide IoT modules that enable stable, secure, long-range connectivity for devices in the utilities and agribusiness markets in Brazil. The company chose Quectel’s EC25-AU LTE and BG96 Mini PCIe Cat-M1 communication modems to enable radio access technology (RAT) functionality for Furukawa’s solution access terminals.

Volansys selects Quectel LTE modules to enable gateway connectivity for remote attendance system

When Volansys needed to develop a remote attendance management solution for a customer, it deployed its Centauri 200 IoT Gateway alongside the IoTify cloud platform and the customer’s Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors to detect presence and attendance. The final piece was to enable LTE connectivity back from the IoT gateways to the IoTify cloud for analysis.

Schauenburg Systems selects Quectel SC20-E for improved mine health and safety

We’ve all heard the stories of miners taking canaries in cages down into mines to act as an early warning system for dangerous gases, such as methane. The old system relied on seeing if a canary fainted to raise the alarm, providing a small window of time in which the miners could return to the surface and breathe fresh air. Thankfully, technology has moved on a lot and the Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling a new range of connected sensors that can detect not only gases but also many other hazards that are found in mines.

5G is finally in use across the IoT – should your business make the switch?

DZNE German research institute tests Memory-Driven Computing to fight global time bomb of neurodegenerative diseases

As world populations age, the human and economic toll of currently incurable neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s grows staggering. DZNE fights these diseases using Big Data analytics, but the limitations of traditional computer systems have been a major bottleneck. Seeking a breakthrough solution, DZNE discovered HPE’s Memory Driven Computing—and saw unprecedented computational speed improvements that hold new promise in the race against Alzheimer’s.

IoT for Connected Cars (Automotive)

From IoT sensors to improve passenger safety to advanced GPS to ensure fuel and time efficiency, connected cars promise to upgrade the entire driving experience.

Likewise, businesses are set to benefit when connected cars become a reality, with 76% of respondents anticipating a tenfold increase in available revenue streams from connected cars, as compared to standard vehicles.

Industrial plants use the newest protocols, IoT gateways and sensors to increase safety and improve plant efficiency

Opening or shutting a valve seems like a straightforward task, until that
valve is placed in an industrial environment, surrounded by chemicals,
machinery, high heat and dangerous equipment. In such an environment,
making a mistake can be disastrous. Thankfully, new communication
protocols and sensors are now available, eliminating the risk of mistakes by
hands-on workers performing more dangerous day-to-day operations
within industrial plants worldwide

MONETISING IoT DATA IN THE ASSET MONITORING BUSINESS

Asset management is a cross-industry preoccupation, as the storage, moving, and maintenance of assets represents a significant cost for most businesses. Similarly, the ability to more rapidly deliver products and services to customers enables organizations in most industries to create additional value. All of that said, the optimisation of asset management and logistic flows is an important operational initiative.
