Bluetooth cable replacement

Cable replacement by radio link

Manufacturers of machines often use cable connections for maintenance purposes or also for data transfer of machine information. This means that technicians have to plug a cable between the PC/laptop and the machine, e.g. for firmware updates or other service purposes, or the end customer obtains usage information by exchanging mass storage devices or USB sticks. Sometimes the interfaces are difficult to access, the machine has to be stopped (e.g. for safety reasons), data cannot be collected as the machine passes by (e.g. in the case of a forklift, tractor) or, if the machine is very dirty, this is inconvenient for the persons concerned (e.g. in the case of a trash compactor).

Wireless data transmission brings added value in handling and enables new business fields:

• Communication to different devices possible PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet e.g. over short distances via Bluetooth or WLAN
• New services through remote maintenance can be offered, e.g. via mobile communication
• Preventive maintenance possible to avoid damage and machine downtime

• Your customers benefit from:
  • Easy and fast access to the data without any plug connection
  • The distance to the machine is no longer important or the distance between machine and technician or customer is no longer tied to a cable
  • Cost savings due to the elimination of cable laying
  • Data can also be called up with a safety distance and machines do not have to be stopped
  • A better and faster service

  We take care of the technical conception, selection of suitable components, development and implementation. If possible, we use existing standard components for this purpose in order to keep the development and approval costs low for you. On this basis, we develop the individual connection of your machines or support your development department in the integration.

  Together with you, we develop a solution that is optimally tailored to your needs. Increase your customer loyalty and satisfaction with m2m Germany
