Rostec State Corporation's Roselectronics Holding has developed wireless sensors for smart home, industrial Internet of Things, security systems and monitoring of refrigeration equipment parameters. The devices are made on the basis of reed switches and differ from existing analogues with advanced sensors and increased durability.
The devices use Bluetooth technology with low power consumption (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE). This allows you to increase the battery life of products up to 10 years without replacing batteries. IoT sensors are designed to measure temperature, humidity, illumination, and magnetic field. Information from the sensors is sent to the mobile application and monitoring system.
The sensor line includes seven devices that differ in a set of built-in and external sensors, as well as the type and capacity of batteries. Serial production of new devices will be deployed at the facilities of the Ryazan Plant of Metal-ceramic Devices (RZMKP, part of Roselectronics).
"We see wide opportunities for the use of new sensors – in warehouses with special storage conditions, in industrial refrigeration equipment, in greenhouses and in smart home systems. The sensors have Bluetooth Long Range mode. This allows them to be used at a distance of more than a kilometer from the Bluetooth station. The products are compact, easily attached to surfaces and operate in the industrial range from -55 to +85 °C. To date, the first prototypes have already been created," said Arkady Orlov, General Director of the Ryazan Plant of Metal–ceramic Devices.
RZMKP occupies 14% of the global reed switch market, is one of the three world leaders. Reed switches are used as contact pairs of various relays, switches, buttons, sensors and indicators in household appliances, automotive, medical and telecommunications equipment, automation and security systems.
IoT sensors were developed as part of a partnership with the Russian company Tesla Smart LLC, which has broad competencies in the design and development of wireless Bluetooth sensors, autonomous NB/BLE loggers, INDOOR navigation for monitoring personnel and various property indoors - in industrial plants, warehouses, construction sites, in shopping malls.
