The new 1551V miniature ventilated sensor enclosures from Hammond Electronics are designed to house sensors and small sub-systems installed in the manufacturing environment as part of IoT systems.

Industry 4.0, the deployment of distributed automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, is based around the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing to create the "smart factory", where physical machines are monitored and controlled in pseudo real-time and autonomous decentralised decision-making manages the process.

On Stand 516 in Hall A2 at Electronica Munich, 13-16 November, Hammond Manufacturing will be showcasing its latest products.

JPR Electronics are now stocking an extended range of the Hammond 1553 enclosures, ergonomically designed for hand-held comfort.

At the macro level, the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly developing as the convergence of multiple technologies advances at increasing speed.

Hammond Electronics introduced an initial five sizes of Pole Mounting Kit, which enable three sealed enclosure families to be attached to round, square or rectangular poles.

The main advantages of standard enclosures are that there are no up-front non-recurrent design, engineering and tooling charges; products are on the shelf ready for immediate delivery, so the time to market is as low as possible; the unit costs are attractive and the design will have been field proven in many different applications.

When USB3.0 was introduced, offering theoretical data signalling rates of 5Gbits/s compared with the 480Mbits/s available from USB2.0, the protocol became significantly more useful across a variety of applications.
