Grid Connect can customize or produce a product based on our technology that fits your requirements.
Quickly and effectively implement your partial or complete, networking or embedded product.
We specialize in solving challenging IoT problems in demanding environments. No matter your application requirements.
Many factors can influence this decision, from the necessary bandwidth, to existing infrastructure, to security concerns. Letting the application determine the best protocol results in optimal for connectivity solutions, whether operating farming equipment, or shipping supplies, to conflict zones.
CAN bus diagnostics start with two questions: is the hardware healthy, and is the protocol behaving? This guide walks through every step — multimeter testing for termination, voltage, and transceiver faults; a breakdown of all five CAN error types; and protocol-level analysis using PC-based and handheld tools. Updated to cover CAN 2.0, CAN FD, and CAN XL.
A custom-designed product can break through a crowded marketplace, and open a business to a whole new sector of consumers. When you search for a path to achieve this, however, you’ll find many options, from standard, commercial off-the-shelf (aka, COTS) components, to custom parts, to highly-custom projects. When considering creating a custom IoT application, how do you make the decision between the multitude of options?
Wireless as a reliable and wear-free option for data communication
Sensors can keep your machines and systems healthy and efficient. Being able to closely and continuously monitor the condition of production equipment in a factory will allow for targeted servicing and maintenance, fewer breakdowns and an increase in overall efficiency. The Schildknecht IoT Ready-To-Use system offers a quick and cost-effective entry into condition monitoring.
Let’s say you work for a company developing a new product that uses a Serial interface, and you have been tasked with finding a way to integrate Ethernet connectivity. You research all the different options for exports, components that can convert connections like Serial into other interfaces, and come across a number of options.
EtherNet/IP and PROFINET are two protocols that utilize and add value to standard ethernet technology. Speed is often mentioned as a key benefit of PROFINET, while interoperability often goes into the EtherNet/IP column. Yet when it comes to one over the other, it's not so black and white. For product design and development, you may want to hedge your bets and support both.
As a company that specializes in the CAN (Controller Area Network) fieldbus, PEAK-System has a clear view of the CAN horizon. Since the company’s launch in 1999, PEAK has been a leading provider of hardware, software, and services for mobile and industrial communications.
Learn how to improve the reliability, structure, and visibility of your PROFIBUS network using ComBricks. This session covers network segmentation, topology best practices, and remote diagnostics - all demonstrated through real-world examples and a live interface walkthrough. Ideal for engineers, technicians, and system designers looking to reduce downtime and simplify maintenance.
As the COVID-19 Pandemic is disrupting nearly all phases of daily life, hospitals and healthcare workers are on the front lines of this war. Some hospitals have begun deploying temporary facilities or containment tents to help limit the virus from spreading. The tents rely on negative air pressure to prevent the escape of the virus.
