Stray-field robust 3D position sensor from S4sensors
The S4-3DB01 3D position sensor from S4sensors in a compact TSSOP-8L housing has a robust stray-field-immune design, a wake-up function and an I²C interface. It was developed for applications such as position and angle measurements, human-machine interfaces (HMI) and protection against unauthorised manipulation in measuring systems. Thanks to the patented back-side vertical Hall technology, the S4-3DB01 is able to provide the same high sensitivity for direct magnetic field measurements in all three dimensions.

Measuring soil moisture with the endrich IoT ecosystem
The latest development in the endrich IoT ecosystem is the integration of neo.mesh, a wireless ad-hoc network technology from NeoCortec. This design offers a possible solution to collect data from physical networks consisting of many sensors and transfer it to a cloud-based database. This scalable, durable, independent and battery-powered local network of intelligent sensor nodes is ideal for agricultural applications. Instead of direct sensor-cloud communication, which requires multiple internet connections, a secure local sub-gigahertz network with a single connection to the World Wide Web is sufficient.

Better smart sensor solutions with ad hoc networks
Endrich's award-winning E-IoT ecosystem offers a potential solution for direct transmission of smart sensor data to the cloud using NB-IoT/LTE-M wireless technologies. This is a perfect solution to transform conventional devices into 'smart' devices when a relatively small number of sensors are present in an application. The integration of NeoCortec's low-power wireless ad hoc mesh networking technology into the Endrich IoT ecosystem provides a smart solution for local sensor networking that comes with a highly scalable, long-lasting, independent and battery-powered group of nodes. Instead of direct sensor-to-cloud communication with multiple outputs to the internet, an industrial-grade sub-gigahertz local mesh with a single gateway is sufficient. Among other things, this solution supports predictive maintenance, environmental parameter monitoring and safety monitoring of industrial plants at much lower cost and higher reliability, and increases the robustness of the sensor network in harsh environments.
