Company Description | Xerafy designs and manufactures the world's toughest RFID tags to power Industrial IoT applications in Manufacturing, Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Automotive, and Healthcare. A member of RAIN RFID, our technology has been distinguished by EY, Frost & Sullivan, AIconics, and Red Herring. Xerafy operates in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions. The Xerafy team came together to develop a breakthrough Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) design. Unlike others, it would take advantage of the metal in its surrounding, instead of being limited by it. | Grid Connect has offered sensors for over five years, and while the products have been well-received, customers repeatedly expressed their desire for something more affordable and diverse. By combining the cloud with battery-powered sensors and Wi-Fi, we created the ability for people to better monitor their homes and businesses. | Advanticsys creates monitoring and control products and solutions that improve processes and services in areas such as energy, agriculture and environment in a global marketplace.
Year founded: 2009
Revenue: $1 - 10 million (2014 est.) | Beckhoff implements open automation systems based on PC Control technology. Products that can be used as separate components or integrated into a complete and seamless control system are available for all industries. | Cognex Corporation is the world leading provider of vision systems, vision software, vision sensors and surface inspection systems used in manufacturing automation. Cognex is also a leader in industrial ID readers.
Cognex vision helps companies improve product quality, eliminate production errors, lower manufacturing costs, and exceed consumer expectations for high quality products at an affordable price. | The Baumer Group is leading at international level in the development and production of sensors, shaft encoders, measuring instruments as well as components for automatic image processing. As an owner-managed family business, we employ about 2500 workers worldwide in 36 subsidiaries and 18 countries. | Kiloway is an integrated circuit design company introduced by the National Ministry of Science and Technology when China created the Science and Technology City, and has been deeply engaged in the RFID industry for more than 20 years, and has developed into a domestic UHF RFID Tag chip annual shipments of hundreds of millions of IC enterprises.
Kiloway is one of the earliest IC enterprises in China to independently develop passive RFID Tag chips. The fully independently developed XLPM ultra-low power permanent memory technology helps the company's X-RFID® chip technology to continuously innovate RFID product solutions with extreme performance, ultra-low cost and complex application scenarios.
Kiloway's new X-RFID® chip products, using the standard Logic CMOS process, with "four high one low" advantages (high sensitivity, high security, high reliability, high yield; Low cost), strong environmental adaptability, long data retention ability, excellent performance in a variety of complex application scenarios, and excellent cost performance.
Kiloway is committed to the non-inductive identification and efficient intelligence of the Internet of Everything, focusing on researching and solving the technical difficulties of efficient, accurate and low-cost application of stacking or flow dynamic item management in RFID applications, promoting digital twin applications with "one knowledge and three determination" precise identification technology, and providing "product + solution" full-stack services to global customers. Help partners win a new era of "the future is here". | Samsara builds sensor systems that combine wireless sensors with remote networking and cloud-based analytics - all in an easy-to-use, software-centric solution. Samsara believes that by making sensors simple to deploy and their data easy to consume, customers will be able to deploy them by the thousands, and in places they've never been used before. | Created by the company Lucid Design Group in 2004, BuildingOS and earlier versions of the platform addressed the needs of energy, facility, and sustainability professionals to easily access critical data that was previously locked behind complicated systems. We believe (and still do!) that teams are most successful at reducing costs and improving building performance by leveraging technology to centralize data, automate processes, and identify savings opportunities through powerful data analytics.
Today, BuildingOS continues to go beyond the meter using modern energy management best practices to some of the world's leading organizations to meet and exceed their energy and sustainability goals. |
IoT Solutions | Asset Tracking, Identification, Counting, Analyzing, Monitoring: Businesses get the data they need to drive performance and flexibility with Xerafy's passive UHF RFID tagging and sensing solutions, available for all types of enterprise assets ranging | | A huge part of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications can significantly benefit from context awareness, in particular location awareness. This information might pertain to the location of the user, to the location of devices/appliances or both of them and hence enable a lot of powerful applications, for example, in hospitals to track equipment, doctors, and patients or in industrial environments to track and trace persons and assets. However, IoT research rather focuses on architectures, which includes components for context awareness, but pays less attention to how and with which accuracy context is achieved.
Many algorithms and approaches have been proposed for indoor RF-based localization; however, low cost and accurate indoor localization is still very challenging. Many research and commercial solutions claim very high accuracies, which can, however, only be achieved in a very specific setting under ideal conditions. Adbanticsys Research Department is working on the development of cost-effective indoor localization solutions in real-life environments such as warehouses or underground mining sites. | The purpose of Industry 4.0 is to make manufacturing more flexible, efficient and sustainable through communication and intelligence, thus increasing the competitiveness of German industry. One major component of this approach is control technology, which is still far from reaching its full potential. Improved communication methodologies and the rising convergence of information and automation technologies will deliver significant progress – something Beckhoff has always focused on with its PC-based control technology and fieldbus communication. Beckhoff provides the foundational technologies and tools needed today to implement Industrie 4.0 concepts and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, all via PC-based control. TwinCAT engineering and control software packages are available for the creation of applications such as Big Data, pattern recognition as well as condition or power monitoring, in addition to traditional control tasks – which can sustainably increase production and engineering efficiency as a result. | Cognex machine vision and barcode reading tools enable companies around the world to improve assembly verification, eliminate defects, automate production and identify challenging barcodes reliably across a wide range of industries and applications. | | One recognition and three determination" accurate identification solution: multi-scene CRF model and core algorithm, quickly solve the pain points of complex scene application
