Based on the continuous development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and solutions, new ideas and possible business models seem to be unlimited. In industrial environments, the demand for professional Internet applications is rapidly increased. Its common features include: distributed intelligence can be achieved by connecting various sensors and actuators and dispersion control. The reason why the application can become "intelligence" because these sensors and actuators can collect and transmit data, and are designed to achieve intelligent management. With more applications, the industrial networking application market will continue to expand, including (home) medical, infrastructure, utilities, home automation and smart home, car, mobile and other fields. The development trend of these professional Internet of Things will undoubtedly involve miniaturization, mobility, durability, efficiency (degree of effectiveness) of electronic components, and networking.
Safety-related industrial network applications must comply with strict regulatory regulations, which is the same for engineers and components. This made a huge challenge for the developers of industrial network applications. The key is that the electronic components used should be certified, reliable and can be supplied for a long time, as they are often used for security and functionality. The professional support of component suppliers plays a very important role.
Power supply for professional Internet of Things - AC or DC input
In professional networked devices, the choice of power modules and the strategies used are undoubtedly a key decision of the entire system or product. Smart, low power, size, and efficiency play an increasingly important role in such products. Semiconductors may be components that provide the highest innovation level. The second key technique worth mentioning is that the power conversion and isolation devices used in the product are critical whether communicating input or DC input. In addition, since this type of IT network system is usually battery powered, most of the time is in standby mode, only a small part of the time is active, so the built-in DC / DC converter must be able to efficiently cover a wide load range.
Dimensions and efficiency is important - but please don't forget safety and regulations to follow the problem.
In order to design, certification, and marketing, it is necessary to consider the technical characteristics of the product. If you want to sell through certification and smooth sales, these professional Internet of Things equipment must be fully consistent with the growing regulations through global unified standards and guidelines, which brings huge challenges to today's IoT electrical engineers. If medical technology, key applications such as medical technology need to be configured, and the design of electronic components must meet the corresponding use requirements and comply with industry-specific regulations.
For example, a medical certification, a wireless control panel that powers is powered by a battery can be accessed to access the patient file. This control panel is wirelessly connected to another device that may contact the patient (such as a blood pressure monitor). For medical equipment, one of the key security issues is that the patient is electrically connected to the tedge part of the device. Therefore, the power supply and DC / DC converter for this Internet of Things must meet the security critical specifications such as BF compliance and 2xmopp standard in IEC / EN 60601-1.
Other good examples include smart home and building industrial network applications. High efficiency and low-end power consumption (in line with ERP), small size, high reliability and affordable price is a key factor in all of these home and building Internet access, while also complying with more and more standards and regulations. Includes IEC / EN 60335-1.
The entire supply chain needs to be carefully planned
We know that new technologies are used for security sensitive and functional applications, which requires improved key electronic components, quality, service life, certification capabilities, and finally important seamless traceability.
Manufacturers are increasingly needed to establish and improve tools for many years, such as failure mode analysis, corrective measures, 8D reports, DFMEA, PFMEA, comprehensive quality management and continuous improvement.
Today, almost every development of each development must try to penetrate the concept of "comprehensive quality". To this end, developers need to do not only provide a powerful solution. In the past, mobile phones were just a useful auxiliary tool, and today, we are constantly abandoning other ways, more and more dependent on this tool. The functions of cash, cameras, address books, and subscriptions are integrated into smartphones. Therefore, smartphones are today's important living partners. Compared with 10 years ago, product designers have more responsibility for product quality. This trend will not only continue, but also grow rapidly. In addition, suppliers should treat a digital transformation of a single component and supply channel as a very important development. By establishing, analyzing, and processing related data, the elements are quickly reliably obtained in an economical manner to help improve the productivity of customer facilities.
In short, this means: In key Internet applications, such as medical technology, building automation or mobile fields, need not only efficient, small and ultra-low standby power consumption, but also need to be durable for decades, can track and completely Compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
