Sensor and actuator networks are systems that collect and transmit data from a physical environment for digital processing. Data is collected at sensors and actuators in the field, then digitized at the sensor or actuator. The digitized data can be used for a variety of applications, and the method for data processing depends on the application
A pivotable moment in the remarkable rise of wireless innovation can be traced back a quarter of a century to the emergence of Bluetooth – an interoperable protocol that became a standard, accompanied by an open specification for both hardware and software. In its various forms, Bluetooth has powered a significant segment of the connected world ever since.
Barcodes play a key role across industries for tasks like inventory management, asset tracking, and quality control, where traceability is required. OMRONs VHV5-F enables accurate barcode reading on every surface, from curved metals to glossy packaging, even in the harshest environments.
Understanding the signal names, numbering schemes, electrical limits and software control of the Raspberry Pi 5 general purpose input/output (GPIO) header empowers hardware and digital design engineers to build robust embedded solutions.

Energy harvesting for IoT provides a sustainable power solution, enabling self-sufficient devices that extract energy from their surrounding environment, enhancing longevity and reducing maintenance requirements
LoRaWAN® and cellular connectivity have largely been pitted against each other with developers having to decide between one or the other when designing new IoT use cases. Monogoto’s ethos is all about facilitating developer creativity and innovation, which has driven our new partnership with RAKwireless to offer a solution that incorporates both. We believe developers really can, and should, have the best of both worlds.
Many IoT products need to be adequately secured and, as such, represent vulnerable entry points for attacks on critical infrastructure. Or the IoT device itself can be the specific target due to the data it hosts – for example, video from security cameras and patient information from medical wearables.
PLCs bring precision control to critical processes, while SCADA empowers real-time data visualization and decision-making. In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, the ability to distinguish between PLC and SCADA is vital to ensure optimized production and efficient operations.
Apache Kafka is a popular open-source distributed streaming platform that was developed by the Apache Software Foundation (Kafka, 2023). It is used to build real-time data pipelines and streaming applications that handle large volumes of data.
GraphQL is a query language that provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to RESTful APIs (GraphQL, 2023). A RESTful API is an architectural style for an application program interface (API) that employs HTTP requests to access and use data.
There is a talent shortage in the Netherlands that is expected to persist until 2050. So concludes Ton Wilthagen, professor of Labor Market at Tilburg University, in the new High Tech Campus documentary The Talent Game: "Even if we attract more international knowledge workers, work more hours and involve people from the sidelines in the labor market, the talent shortage will remain."
The wireless tech underpinning the IoT is complex to build, deploy, and maintain. But with the introduction of a new end-to-end solution, Nordic is making it easier and quicker to bring a cellular IoT end-product to market and support its implementation.
The demand for compact yet energy-efficient radar sensors for remote vital sign monitoring is witnessing an exponential rise in the healthcare industry for several reasons.
