IIoT in heavy industry: mining, oil, gas, iron and steel - L&H Industrial sets new standards with 5G monitoring, tracking and IoT core
Episode 62 of the IoT Use Case Podcast is about an IIoT project from the rough industry of “Heavy Machinery” – presented by Roundsolutions and their partner Amazon Web Services (AWS). L&H Industrial helps customers design, build, deploy and operate large-scale machinery. With their 24/7 global field service and over 50 years of real-world experience, they are now using IoT technology to set new standards in service. Their goal: to constantly support their customers in troubleshooting, repairs, rebuilds, installations and relocation of heavy machinery. Based on valuable data, engineers and technicians can use the findings to save costs for customers in operations. With the help of sensor and camera data, signs of wear and possible downtimes are detected and prevented at an early stage. – the leading supplier of LTE, NB1, CatM1, 5G, NB-IoT, GSM/GPRS, UMTS/HSPA(+), GNSS and BLE/WiFi modules in Europe. They bring the necessary “plug and play” hardware with robust housing, which meets the IP67 safety standard. For cloud and software expertise, Round Solutions selected its partner Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the world’s most comprehensive cloud platform, with more than 200 fully functional services around the world. In this episode, we discuss the top 3 use cases: L&H Industrial: The world’s largest machines enhanced with 5G monitoring Volkswagen Group: Increase plant efficiency and availability to improve production flexibility and enhance vehicle quality with AWS-IoT Amazon mail order: monitoring for renewable energies The interview guests of the 62nd episode are: Ben Hoelke (Founder & CEO, RoundSolutions) Juan Carlos Martinez (Business Development Manager IoT & Robotics, Amazon Web Services (AWS)).
Growth market e-mobility - charging infrastructure, data analysis & cloud connectivity
Round Solutions is Europe’s leading supplier of modules such as LTE, NB-IoT or WiFi. Telit is known worldwide for its wireless solutions in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. For more than 20 years, the two companies have combined their know-how and developed innovative products in the M2M sector based on wireless technologies. A common customer is Compleo Charging Solutions, a provider of charging solutions for electric vehicles. The products are AC and DC charging stations and wallboxes for companies, energy suppliers and operators. The use case revolves around the integration of the Telit module into the e-charging stations and the benefits this creates for providers and end users. The Compleo charging stations are equipped with a cellular module from Telit, which – if you were to compare it to a car – acts like the engine of the whole thing. Integrated on a circuit board in the controller or in a modem, it allows sending the data to the cloud, which is recorded by a (micro) controller or processor. What data is relevant here and for whom? Mainly there are two types of data: Availability data and billing data. The availability of the charging infrastructure is the be-all and end-all – is the charging station free, is there perhaps an error message and if so, what is not working properly? In addition to the end user, this data is particularly important for the so-called charge point operator, the CPO. Billing data is primarily critical for the electric mobility provider, the EMP, as it enters into the charging contract with the end user and provides them with an RFID card or access app for charging authorization. A charging station is only as good as its connectivity: That is why permanent network availability must be guaranteed. It is usually impossible to predict where a charging station will be placed, which is why flexible and automatic network changes are essential. The solution: Telit NExT. In collaboration with mobile network providers, this web-based management tool closes network gaps and offers round-the-clock service, among other things. Telit is in the midst of a transformation: from a pure hardware manufacturer to a hardware software and service provider.
