Telehealth

Part 1 Mini-Series: Telehealth

We’re kicking off a mini blog series dedicated to Telehealth. For those of you unfamiliar with this concept, telemedicine (also known as telehealth) is the practice of medicine using technology to deliver care at a distance. Essentially, a physician in one location uses a telecommunications infrastructure to deliver care to a patient at a distant…

The Importance of Bluetooth for Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance in IIoT

Condition monitoring and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) form the foundation of what we now know as Industrial IoT (IIoT) or Industry 4.0. It’s common to assume that both terms mean the same thing, but the reality is, they are very different. Condition monitoring involves monitoring a specific parameter (vibration, temperature, pressure, etc.), to identify any significant…

PdM Vibration Data Delivering High-Resolution using Enterprise Bluetooth IoT

     The following case study describes how SpaceSense 5.3kHz wireless predictive maintenance (PdM) solution gathers high-resolution PdM vibration data from Bluetooth low power sensors while retaining long battery life; and employs Cassia Networks enterprise Bluetooth IoT connectivity to deliver predictive maintenance (PdM) with a high return-on-investment (ROI). Figure 1 – PdM BoP Solution As a…

IoT Connectivity – Enterprise Bluetooth Networks

Enterprise Bluetooth Networks (EBNs) are a communication network, organized around the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) protocol, for sending and receiving data or messages from BLE end devices, such as a sensor. Core to Enterprise Bluetooth Networks are real-time, 24/7 persistent connections between the BLE end devices and a network. This type of connection is provided…

PdM IoT: Ignored machines take the lead

Overview: Conversations on the IoT Tech Expo 2018 conference floor by Brad Canham Sometimes conferences provide developers with the technical meat they’re looking for. At other times conferences provide the core movements in a marketplace  the strategists – VCs, product managers, marketing people – are looking for. At the Nov. 28-29, 2018 IoT Tech Expo…

Long-range Bluetooth delivers easy-to-manage data for IoT condition monitoring

CASE STUDY – Long-range Bluetooth IoT delivers easy-to-manage data for IoT condition monitoring SITUATION: Machine health monitoring is “low hanging fruit” in Industry 4.0, providing a competitive edge in the form of reduced downtime, optimized maintenance processes, and increased profitability. Moreover, existing industrial IoT condition monitoring systems prefer the cost and value-added advantages of Bluetooth’s low-power…

IoT Predictive maintenance market: Bluetooth’s lower-costs and value-add edge

By Brad Canham New long-range Bluetooth and Bluetooth edge gateways will continue to provide a competitive advantage within the IoT predictive maintenance market more broadly, and for IoT system integrators specifically. As may be expected of a fast growing market, the predictive maintenance market is attracting “several new players” to the global predictive maintenance market…
