This year's embedded world presented the latest trends and innovations in seven exhibition halls from March 11-13 in Nuremberg. The embedded trade fair focuses on technologies, processes and future-oriented products in the areas of components and modules, operating systems, hardware and software design, M2M communication and services.

WEPTECH also presented the latest product developments in smart metering and wireless communication to interested trade visitors and business partners at its stand in the M2M Area in Hall 3-421.

As a medium-sized E²MS company, WEPTECH specializes in the development of smart metering solutions based on the LP-WAN technologies NB IoT and mioty.

Both are wireless technologies that were developed for the Internet of Things and enable wireless communication between various battery-operated devices, such as water, gas and electricity meters, via gateways to an IoT cloud solution as a central data hub.

The advantages of our wM-Bus communication adapters CHENOA, ORIOL and JONAH lie in their simple installation (retrofitting), high flexibility and the ability to transmit data remotely and evaluate it centrally. With our solutions, we offer metering point operators and property managers, for example, an efficient and cost-effective way to automatically transfer and manage meter data from a building to an IoT cloud via our SWAN2-R gateway using NB IoT Cat 1.

"This makes our communication adapters a key to successful digitalization in the energy sector,” says Wolfgang Esch - Head of Sales and Marketing, summarizing WEPTECH's product focus at this year's embedded.

WEPTECH was able to present another product highlight at the Fraunhofer IIS stand.

As keynote speaker and board member of the mioty Alliance, Wolfgang Esch welcomed the interested specialist audience from industry and research to a brunch hosted by the mioty Alliance together with the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft. After a brief presentation of the core ideas and advantages of mioty LP-WAN technology using the mioty ecosystem from WEPTECH, the energy self-sufficient “mioty base station” was then presented to the general public for the first time.

This development was initiated by the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in a joint research project with WEPTECH and other cooperation partners under the title EIOTI and has now been successfully implemented. The project name EIOTI stands for “Energy-autonomous IoT infrastructure”. The aim of the project was to develop a solar-powered, energy-optimized base station that transmits sensor data (e.g. temperature, humidity, water level) in an energy-optimized manner via a mioty LP-WAN. Typical areas of application can be found in agriculture, environmental monitoring and disaster control.

“The MIOTY technology in combination with WEPTECH's energy self-sufficient base station opens up new possibilities for networking devices and sensors in various applications, from smart cities to industrial IoT solutions,” explains Wolfgang Esch from WEPTECH. “We are proud to offer innovative solutions that help our customers optimize their processes and open up new business opportunities.”

"All in all, this year's embedded was once again a very good platform for an interesting and intensive exchange with trade visitors and partners,” says Wolfgang Esch - Head of Sales & Marketing at WEPTECH, summing up the three exciting days of the embedded trade fair.
