Sensors

The more information that can be known about systems and processes, the more efficiently those systems and processes can run, and thus compete. Todays tiny, cost-efficient wireless sensors are helping manufacturers adapt to the new era of the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). These sensor-based systems all play into informed just-in-time decision making that optimize the entire manufacturing supply chain. Sensors using Bluetooth and other mesh technologies can be incorporated anywhere due to their small size and minimal power needs.

Suitable device

Remote Controls

Robotics

Industrial robotics are a key component of Industry 4.0. Whilst robotics have long been an element in high-value product manufacture such as automobiles, the cost of automated production is falling and becoming more accessible to a wider range of industries. All robotics are equipment with arrays of sensors and actuators and connectivity is vital for human interfacing, robot to robot communication and for diagnostics purposes. there are also situations where it is attrative and feasible to replace complex, costly wiring looms with a connectivity technology such as Bluetooth Low energy. The nRF52 Series are pwerful, highly capable connectivity SoCs with extensive peripheral sets and I/O that are ideal for many robotic use-cases.
